John Sanei is a future strategist and international keynote speaker who has written several books, including Who Do We Become? and FOREsight. A recognised trainer of corporate leaders, John is set to feature as part of our Circle Lab groups later this year.
Here are some of the key insights from the conversation...
AI is changing the world - are you and your business on top of it?
” You've got to ask yourself three questions: What's my appetite? What's my ambition? What are my capabilities? Am I using those to defend, extend, or upend? Am I working in today and tomorrow, and how am I breaking those down? And how am I using AI, is it internal, external, game-changing or everyday? It depends where you are and what business, and I don't think there's one skin for everybody. You've got to decide where you're at, and where's the maturity of your industry. We're at a time of inflection, in many ways. It's a big time.”
Neuroscience can teach us so much about awareness, acceptance and advancement.
” How do I change my awareness of pace? Because we know this, that you cannot solve a problem from the same awareness that created it. So if you don't have an ability, a toolset, a program, a habit, whatever it is... to change your awareness of pace, you're stuck. And if you're stuck, the world's becoming a horrible place because AI is replacing your intelligence, the world's getting harder in many ways if you're not elevating your consciousness. And so... the advancement of neuroscience becomes a very practical way for us to start to think about raising our consciousness.”
Let’s look to the future with optimism, hand-in-hand with AI.
”So the job is to change your awareness, see it as a friend, work with it as a optimistic partner. Let's use it together to try and fix a better world - otherwise it can be quite a scary thing. ”
The best place to find John is here.
See you next week!
