Is work just something we endure for a paycheck? Or could it be something more? As AI takes on a bigger presence in all aspects of life, how can it elevate our professional lives to … dare we say it … make work fun? In this episode, I’m joined by @bperreau – founder and CEO of a new AI-powered leadership product called Parafoil – and Bree Groff – author of the newly released, Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously). We explore how to make the future of work bright.
Topics Covered:
- How AI can help us be more effective leaders?
- How to build a personal AI coach ethically
- The power of “cozy teams” at work and how to nurture one
- How to find joy in work even if we dislike parts of our jobs
