First trip to TIAA Charlotte in the books with our Talent Management team. Great people, great energy, and great conversations. BIG things ahead with this super talented team.

Be careful not to outsource all your creative thinking to AI. Creativity and critical thinking are muscles and you need to keep using them or you risk losing them. As with anything, moderation matters. Don’t get addicted folks.

To all recent college graduates out there…. Your new degree is the receipt, but the real value is who you became on the way to earning it. Now continue on with purpose, grit, and grace. Have some fun along the way too! See image below for an example of what it means to be graceful* And be sure to celebrate. Y’all earned it. I kinda wanna say something about leaping into the future…. Thank you Columbia University School of Professional Studies and Columbia University Human Capital Management. All my professors, fellow students, and our great leader Steve Safier, PhD. Y’all shaped my career tremendously and I'm excited for what the future holds. What an unpredictable journey life can be :) If anyone is looking for a part-time adjunct professor to teach HCM, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Starting today as Director, Talent Management at TIAA. I’m excited to support the people behind the mission. Excellent work is ahead.

Something I’ve been thinking about and noticing… Generative AI might actually help us become more present and better listeners. Tools like ChatGPT are patient. They don’t interrupt. They don’t look down at a phone and lose focus. They can be overly supportive (if trained this way). They acknowledge each word, respond thoughtfully, and stick with the conversation for as long as it takes. That kind of “presence” is rare in real life. I’ve heard many joke that ChatGPT is their new therapist. That’s quite a statement! When these tools are used with a little self-awareness, maybe the tools can help us reflect on how we show up in conversations. Are we really listening? Are we being thoughtful? Are we making people feel heard and responding comprehensively? AI can’t replace human connection. But it can remind us all what being fully present and engaged looks like in fast world filled with distractions. #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #FutureOfWork #AIandHumanity

We talk a lot about employee experience and customer experience, but too often they are treated like separate worlds. When employees are supported and energized, customers experience the difference. I share a few key thoughts and areas for opportunity in this article. Check it out!
