AI is beginning to strip away the noise. The endless admin, the redundant workflows, the constant interruptions, all automated, streamlined, or eliminated. Weโ€™re gaining back time. But hereโ€™s the real question: ๐ƒ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ข๐ญ?

Most donโ€™t. They fill the space with more meetings, more emails, more low-value tasks because stepping into deep, strategic work can be ๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘˜๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘› or just plain ๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘๐‘œ๐‘š๐‘“๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘™๐‘’. AI wonโ€™t force anyone to have a growth mindset. It wonโ€™t make us braver, more curious, or more willing to take risks. All-in-all, Thatโ€™s on us.

A human-first approach to AI isnโ€™t just about efficiency, itโ€™s about ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, ๐œ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒ.

This again is where Brave Spaces come in and it only works if we have the guts to break the old habits and use AI for value added purposes.
