Be the Superhero Your Team Needs by Prioritizing Psychological Safety in the Workplace

If you’ve watched survival shows or end-of-world movies, you’ve likely observed strangers (or actors playing strangers) come together in extraordinary ways to keep the group safe. This happens in real life as well. I remember going down the internet rabbit hole one evening watching videos of strangers working together to form human chains as they save someone they have never met from drowning in a flood or rushing river.   I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Artificial intelligence is at work in more ways than you probably even realize. From scrolling through news or social media on your smartphone before starting your day to yelling at Alexa to dim the lights at night, AI is learning and processing during those million moments in between.

Be the Hero Who Defeats Change Management Failure

Be the Hero Who Defeats Change Management Failure

Hollywood is doing it all wrong. How many horror movies have they churned out, where on a dark and stormy night, the heroine runs right into danger (in sky-high heels, of course) and chaos ensues until the unlikely hero swoops in, saves her and defeats the villain?
