Five human capacities AI can't do without

On working, leading, and staying alive to yourself in the age of AI.

AI can now draft the memo, the deck, the plan, the code. When the artifact is cheap, what becomes scarce is everything behind it: judgment, trust, and the ability to be fully present with the people you work with.

The question isn't what AI can't do yet. That answer changes every few months. The question is what can't be handed over at all.

Five nested circles, from the center outward. 01 Inside, Emotional Literacy. 02 In the moment, Self-Location. 03 Reflection, Mirror Work. 04 The other person, Empathic Listening. 05 Together, Team Presence.

Start inside. Widen the circle.

It starts inside you and moves outward: what you feel, how you're showing up, what you bring, who's in front of you, and the team around you.

Each one widens the circle.

Honest about the evidence

Today on social media, everything feels like a sales pitch. I want to do this differently.

Not everything here is equally proven, and I'd rather you know that up front. Where the research is strong, I'll show you. Where it's thinner, I'll let you know. Explore the evidence for each capacity.
