Hey everyone — I'm Keira Self, Manager of Outcomes at ActionCOACH Kansas City. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself here as I will be posting more in the future😁 "Manager of Outcomes" is a fancy way of saying I'm the person who makes sure things actually happen. I work under Joe Quero, our owner and Master Coach. I also work closely with Jared Taylor who helps run this wonderful community, and my world is client experience, accountability, event operations, and keeping our community running. If you've ever been to one of our GrowthCLUBs or seminars in KC, there's a decent chance I was behind the logistics making it look effortless (it wasn't). I stepped into managing a team fairly recently, and it's been a real learning curve — turns out coordinating projects and coordinating people are two very different skills. So I'm here to keep growing, trade notes with people doing the same, and be part of the community. If you're figuring out how to lead a team, tighten up your operations, or just want to say hi — I'd love to connect. Glad to be here!

Here's the thing almost nobody has figured out yet about AI. I've been going down this road for a few years now, and I want to share where it's actually led me — because it's not where I thought it would go, and it's not where most of the headlines say it's going. When I started, I thought AI was a writing tool. And it is a great one. I'm a linear thinker. I get an idea and it comes out in a straight line, one thing after another. AI takes the words I come up with and turns them into something people actually want to read — sharper, more alive, less like the inside of my head. That alone was worth it. But that turned out to be the smallest part. The bigger realization came when I started handing it the back office. We used to have someone whose whole day was the daily grind — the time tracking, the prorating, the adjustments, the invoicing, entering the deposits into QuickBooks. This isn't a task you knock out once in the morning. It runs all day long, as the crews finish their jobs one by one. So the person doing it was constantly juggling it alongside everything else — and that's exactly why it was riddled with mistakes. Nobody can babysit a task all day, every day, while also doing five other things, without dropping the ball. I trained AI to do those jobs instead. Not "help with" them. Do them. And it does — all day, tireless, keeping up with every crew as they close out, without the mistakes that come from a human trying to multitask their way through it. The key difference is why. The human made mistakes because their attention was split — doing the actual work while five other things pulled at them all day. The AI doesn't have that problem. It doesn't get distracted, it doesn't get rushed, it doesn't forget a crew because the phone rang. It runs every close-out, all day, in parallel, at full attention on each one. The exact thing that broke the human — juggling — is the thing AI simply doesn't do. Now here's the part the hype skips right over: the AI isn't perfect either. Its mistakes are just a completely different animal. Once in a while it drifts from the process — skips a step, takes a shortcut, works from memory instead of the playbook I built. It doesn't get better through repetition the way a person does. Every day is a fresh start, and it's only as good as the instructions it follows that day. So my job now isn't doing the work — it's reviewing it. And catching a mistake in finished work takes a fraction of the effort of grinding through all of it by hand, all day, myself.

One of the biggest keys to success is making sure you're being productive, not just busy. I'm genuinely curious—how do you prioritize your day to make sure you're working on what matters most instead of simply staying occupied? Beyond your daily tasks, what rituals or habits help you stay aligned with your goals, values, and long-term vision? I'd love to hear what's working for you.

It’s Wednesday—the middle of the week. This is the perfect time to pause for a few minutes and take inventory. What have you done well so far? What’s working? And where is there a gap that needs to be filled if you’re going to hit your goals by the end of the week? Success rarely comes from doing more. It usually comes from making the right adjustments at the right time. Let’s hear from you: ✅ What’s been your biggest win so far this week? 🎯 What do you need to refocus on or increase before Friday to finish the week strong? Share your wins and your next move below. Let’s help keep each other accountable and build momentum together.

After the weekend I was feeling burned out, wanting to quit everything, and low-key wanting to get a cold so I could lay in bed all day😄 Then yesterday I had my AI program session (I'm taking a 12 week program for my biz) and I got energized again. Yet I'm still exhausted...am I the only one that has experienced these opposite emotions simultaneously? Is this even possible?
