At your next networking event, pause and ask yourself: 👉 Am I seeking comfort or growth? 👉 Am I staying in the echo chamber or stepping outside it? It’s easy to gravitate toward familiar faces who share our opinions—it feels safe and validating. But that’s confirmation bias in action, keeping us in our comfort zone and cutting us off from new perspectives. 💡 Challenge yourself to grow. Embrace curiosity over validation. Seek ideas that stretch your thinking instead of just confirming it. You never know what incredible opportunities and insights you might be missing! What’s one way you’ll challenge confirmation bias this week? Let’s discuss below! #ConfirmationBias #GrowthMindset #NetworkingTips #NewPerspectives #CuriosityOverComfort"

The future of AI is here, and it’s agentic. Forget Generative AI—2025 is shaping up to be the year of AI agents capable of reasoning, planning, and taking action.  Mike Walsh

Congratulations Tim Sanders for another successful event!

This might be one of the most vulnerable things that I’ve signed up for 😊. Join me and Steve on December 18 for a live coaching session about the head trash that’s holding me back in my tennis game. Now it starts with tennis, but as you may well know, there are deep rooted beliefs that impact everything we do. I’ve never been coached by a mental performance coach, so Steve and I naturally thought it would be more fun to do it as a LinkedIn Live. Hope you will join us.

Excited to share this short video that unpacks this thought: "AI won't replace people. But people with AI will replace people without AI." What is the logic here? Watch to the video to understand which economic lens you need to look at AI through when measuring its true value to your company. In other words, stop selling AI from the "How much money will you save?" perspective and start looking at it from "How much more punching power will you have?" point of view. As you'll see from the research, the AI-for-human-substitute usually fails to satisfy. Hat tip to Karim Lakhani for being the first person I heard this from. Hat tip to McKinsey & Company for great research to back this up (link in the first comment). Thanks to Sangram Vajre and the team at GTM Partners for hosting Better Together, where this was taped. Most importantly, thanks to Anthony Kennada at AudiencePlus for bringing out the best insights during our interview. And big ups to FAILURE ISLAND for producing on site in Atlanta. I love the look of this! More from this interview to come... #leadership #artificialintelligence #AI #machinelearning #innovation #OpenAI #ChatGPT

Are you ready to lead in the age of AI? This research from Harvard Business Review reveals key abilities you'll need to excel in an AI driven future. Not surprisingly, the ability to provide context (to chatbots, agents or engineering teams) is the top skill that will determine your success. While EQ and Purpose are important, AI presents a new playing field for leaders. That's why I'm obsessed with the concept of context: How do we gather it, structure it, package it and deliver it to scale. As managers, we provide context all the time to our team members to help them frame their objectives and execute projects. The better we are at providing context, the more agency we can give them, which leads to scaling their ability to produce outcomes. The challenge for you is to transfer that skill into how you interact with AI. Are you simply asking questions or providing prompts OR are you first building out context for the machine? Notice how ability to discern answers or leverage algorithms is much less impactful on leadership effectiveness in the new world of work. It's not about technical skills as much as judgement related skills like context, compassion, etc. #innovation #leadership #artificialintelligence #GenAI #OpenAI #ChatGPT

In the wake of the recent hurricane, our hearts go out to everyone affected by this devastating storm. We know that the road to recovery can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Asheville has always been a beacon of resilience, warmth, and kindness. The strength of this community is evident in how you come together during challenging times. Neighbors supporting each other, local businesses offering aid, and countless volunteers stepping up to lend a hand—these actions are a testament to the spirit that makes #Asheville so special. As #Florida now braces itself for a projected Category 5 #hurricane, those in the path of the storm can only do so much to prepare for what lies ahead. No doubt, fear and concern weigh heavy in their heart awaiting what may soon come. The amazing people of our great country stand with those of who you have lost their homes, communities and businesses. We stand with those of you who wait in worry. Your struggles are deeply felt, and we are committed to helping you rebuild, piece by piece.
