And I could never fit myself into the org chart.

And so that would always be this red flag for folks.

And it made it harder for me to get a job later in my career.

Well, now I can tell you what I do based on skills.

I try to do explanatory storytelling as best I can.

That's been across my career.

I try to build coalitions around stories that I think matter and that we got to do something about.

And for me, that's all about economic opportunity now.

So now no matter what changes about my job, I know what I uniquely do.

That's what everyone's got to do.

Put all your job titles aside, the ones that you've had, the ones that you have, especially mid-career.

Think about the job you're in as a set of tasks.

Last week, you did about a dozen tasks that mattered.

Start to think about where those tasks fit in a bucketing.

The first bucket is what AI can do.

AI can do a lot of quick analysis, quick research, first drafts, coding.

If you're not sure what goes in AI and folks in this age range are falling behind in terms of AI adoption and awareness, like that's issue number one for you.

You gotta be using these tools, using them in new ways, using new tools in new ways.

If you just think this one tool that's a better search is AI, that's not it.

So bucket one is really start to understand what AI is coming for in your job by the tasks you do.
