We had such a rich conversation today exploring the intersection of AI, the heart, and the mind — sparked by Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind. His premise: the future belongs to the human capacities that logic can't replicate. Which feels urgent now that AI has the left-brain stuff pretty well covered. So we asked: what do we bring that's irreducibly human? What came up in our discussion: 🌍 Context and culture — AI generates content, but humans understand why this story, for these people, right now 🌸 Embodied and feminine knowing — Nadene named it: AI was largely built without women at the table. That shapes what gets captured and what gets flattened. 🤝 Presence — touch, laughter, tears. We can't prompt for that. 💡 Forward thinking + emotional connection — imagining futures we haven't lived yet, holding space for what's unspoken Pink also named six human skills for the AI era, I've added them in visuals below. The question we're sitting with: how do we cultivate these capacities in ourselves and in the leaders we work with? What's your answer? What do you bring that AI can't? 👇

This is one of so many projects of indigenous stewards caring for the Earth. It holds a special place in my heart and I wanted to share it with you. I’ve always been in love with trees, especially old ones. In this 5-minute video, Inside Kanaka Bar’s Conservation Plan: Protecting Rare Ecosystems & Indigenous Culture, hear from Kanaka community members as they discuss their vision and the ecological and cultural significance of this protected area initiative. This project is on the west coast of Canada in British Columbia. What projects that care for the Earth do you hold close to your heart?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of making a mini course that will help you discover or clarify what your highest values are. I'm curious, what are you values? Try to say them in one word. I'll go first!

@Nadene Canning and myself both have our birthdays in January, we're both Capricorns. It would be fun to know some of our birthdays, and if you know it, your Zodiac sign. The poll didn't let me add 12 options, so I had to group 2 months together. If you like, add your exact birthdate and zodiac sign in the comments ;-)

Let’s talk music at our hangout later today. Motivation Creativity Relaxation Focus Forgiveness Energy See you there 🤗
