These are the things no one puts in a job description, but every successful leader figures out eventually (usually the hard way).

You ready? Let’s go.

10 Ways I Use ChatGPT in My Business
If you're not using AI, it's time to start. As Economist Richard Baldwin said at the 2023 World Economic Forum's Growth Summit, "AI won't replace you but the person using AI will." While we still haven’t quite figured out the parameters of how it can simplify our work and make us 10x more productive, we know intuitively that it can - and that we need to get ahead of it, so we’re using it to our advantage rather than being displaced by it.

I want to share a story that might resonate with many of you, a story about the silent battles we fight in seeking what we deserve and need.
I Said NO Three Times...
I want to share with you an incredible experience I recently had in Baku, Azerbaijan (slightly north of Turkey, I had to look it up too!) at the Inmerge Innovation Summit.
It was a journey that pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I believe it's important to reflect on the value of taking risks and embracing opportunities, especially when they’re packaged in an unfamiliar way.
