#LetThemCook

I used to think I was in the business of shaping strategy. Then one Tuesday at 4:47 AM, while I was journaling on my Peloton, it hit me like a quarterly earnings surprise. My assistant asked me what I actually did all day. I said I help companies find clarity. He said, "Strange. Your calendar has fourteen meetings titled 'Sync' and not a single made decision." I sat with that. Hard. For nine days I removed all nouns from my vocabulary and spoke exclusively in frameworks. I went to a networking breakfast. Someone asked about my origins. I told them I was an early stakeholder in transformation. They nodded. They had no idea what I meant. Neither did I. That is when I understood something profound about the current state of play. It isn't about using prompts. It isn't about standing up an out-of-conversion cockpit. It isn't even about finding the killer use case. Every company is an AI company now. The ones that know it and the ones that don't are simply in different phases of onboarding. #RadicalClarity #AIFirst #ThoughtLeadership #OnboardingEveryoneWhetherTheyLikeItOrNot #DisruptYourOwnJourneyBeforeSomeoneJogsPastYou
