I think inspiring people in that way

giving people examples.

Those are the areas that I think are important.

And then we also just have to start talking more about the value of these softer skills or the non-technical skills and how centered they are today and going forward.

Hmm.

So I'd say the blanket approach, because I do change depending if I'm in front of a Fortune 500 leader or someone who's evaluated on different metrics or has different goals and incentives.

But I'd say the theme behind my, I don't even have a strategy, but I think what fits well with me is if you scare people too much, if you disempower them,

they do unsubscribe from the very activities you need them to lean into.

So you can only take people so far with showing the fear and the consequences.

And you have to trust that when you are communicating something that is uncomfortable, something that is urgent, that people can follow you and you don't need to take them off the cliff.

They can see what the consequence is if we continue to go down, let's say, the status quo without taking them to a point where it feels like there's no return.

Then you have to show how clear somebody does have agency that is listening.

And so if I'm in a room, let's say, with world leaders and we're talking about a technology that seems like it's moving really quickly and it seems so foreign and out of our control and unprecedented is a term we hear over and over.

Have we done this before?

Was there a moment in history that the same people in this room did something similar, as radical, as profound?

And so when you take people to those moments, they can start to see the path for themselves.

When it comes to a Fortune 500 company, again, I constantly connect back to the incentives.

If you are being evaluated by the stock market,

That matters to you, right?

And if it's going to show up in your bottom line, that's something that a leader, and of course they also care about fairness and ethics, but if you say, you know, you're also perhaps missing 40% of a market by not addressing the bias in these algorithms.
