Human Skills for this AI era
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? 👇
