Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Saying No to New with Eric Athas
Q: How do we learn to figure out what should we explore? What should we experiment with and what should we say, no thank you?
Athas offers a four-step approach: embrace uncertainty, ask questions about a tool's purpose and goals, test it on a small scale, then review what worked and what did not.
Saying No to New with Eric Athas
Q: How do we navigate change and not get overwhelmed and think about looking at it through the lens of curiosity and something new?
Athas recommends being intentional about which new tools serve a useful purpose, rather than adopting trends automatically. He says workplaces can avoid innovation burnout by evaluating new tools and pacing their adoption.
How to Harness AI-Human Collaboration with Paula Goldman
Q: So help us understand what's really happening there. And is the panic justified? Or is it something that we can navigate?
Goldman says concerns about entry-level work are serious, but it is not clear that AI is the cause of the difficult job market. She sees an opportunity for junior employees to learn how AI works and help organizations use it effectively, citing Salesforce's commitment to hiring a thousand entry-level employees and interns that year.
How to Harness AI-Human Collaboration with Paula Goldman
Q: But why do companies still need humans at the helm, to quote you from the book?
AI can process data at great speed and scale, but it has flaws. Human judgment, creativity, customer relationships, and responsible guardrails help organizations combine AI's capabilities with human strengths.
Rebuild Forward with Andrea Gash
Q: What are the steps of the Momentum Method?
The method moves through hitting reset, calling the experience what it is, getting back in touch with personal values and priorities, daring to dream, and rewriting one's script. The steps are flexible rather than linear and can meet someone wherever they are.
