Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PPP 526 | If AI Can Do Your Job, What Makes You Matter? with author John R. Miles
Q: How do we build a sense of mattering that is sturdy enough to survive losing a role if AI makes that role less necessary?
Miles says that when worth depends on usefulness, AI feels threatening, but human worth also comes from qualities such as wisdom, presence, love, moral courage, and making others feel seen.
PPP 526 | If AI Can Do Your Job, What Makes You Matter? with author John R. Miles
Q: How would we know if we had somebody on our team who feels interchangeable?
Miles says to listen for statements such as “I'm just doing my job,” “Anyone could do what I do,” or “Nobody would notice if I wasn't here.” Leaders should help people understand the unique difference they make.
PPP 525 | 39% Fired and Still Reinventing, with author John Tarnoff
Q: How are you coaching mid-career professionals to use AI without flattening their voice?
He recommends building an informed AI profile by giving the system a detailed and continually updated understanding of the person's background, work, values, and goals, so it can help without reducing them to generic job-search language.
PPP 525 | 39% Fired and Still Reinventing, with author John Tarnoff
Q: When one of those moments was happening in real time, what story would you say you're telling yourself about what it meant?
Tarnoff says job loss is painful and can feel personal, but people should allow themselves time to grieve, seek support outside their former workplace, and later reflect on what they can learn.
PPP 524 | Why More Discipline May Not Be the Answer, with 100 Days of Rejection expert Jia Jiang
Q: How can we distinguish normal resistance that comes with difficult work from the deeper realization that this may not be our work?
Jiang recommends paying attention to how much joy the work brings and comparing it with other useful activities that come more naturally. He suggests seeking work that fits one's interests and abilities and finding a way to get paid for it.
