It has been for a long time. Made exponentially more valuable through the intention we put into it.

So great to see you and spend some real face (and shoulder) time with you IRL Dean. Safe travels. Live long and prosper.

Thinking about this in the context of technology & the next wave they claim that AI will become its own Media Platform, an all-encompassing transmedia universe, personalized and creating the context for full immersive experiences. It is important for brands to understand. #IRL2025 #CollectiveJourney

"The problem isn't who is in the throne, but the fact that there is a throne at all. It's not the person, it's the system."
#IRL2025

This is a systemic narrative. The above was in reference to the world of "Game of Thrones", but applies as much to organizational culture/systems and political ones.

Important presentation from from Alan Berkson and Jeff Gomez on the #CollectiveJourney at #IRL2025

After hearing this work over a year ago, I invited Alan to be a research fellow in our Team Flow Institute.

The Hero's Journey has been pitting us against each other instead of bringing us together.

This ultimately leading to more impactful and sustainable outcomes. The power of questions that delve into the emotional aspects of our interactions with technology is vital in shaping a future where human experience remains at the forefront of innovation. #IRL2025

As we navigate the complexities of a tech-centric world, the focus should be on how technology can elevate human experiences. Companies that prioritize empathy, self-awareness, and meaningful storytelling will be better positioned to innovate in ways that resonate with people. #IRL2025

He underscored the importance of collaboration between different teams, to create a unified approach that prioritizes human experience. Generative AI can be leveraged not just for automation but to foster genuine interactions that enhance customer engagement & satisfaction #IRL2025

This approach not only helps in understanding customer needs but also inspires innovation that resonates with people’s emotions and experiences. #IRL2025

The conversation also touched on the concept of storytelling as a powerful tool for bridging the gap between technology and human experience. By humanizing data and presenting it in relatable narratives, companies can create a more profound connection with their audiences. #IRL2025

This involves asking the right questions that can unlock insights into how technology impacts individuals on a personal level. #IRL2025

This disconnect can hinder meaningful change and innovation. To foster a more empathetic understanding of our feelings and experiences, companies must engage in deeper conversations that go beyond mere data and metrics. #IRL2025

Solis emphasized the need for self-awareness and open-mindedness as foundational elements for recognizing the potential of technology. He pointed out that only about 10% of people are truly self-aware, yet everyone believes they are. #IRL2025

As @briansolis.bsky.social articulated, while technology, particularly AI, offers significant opportunities for efficiency and optimization, it is essential to remember that the ultimate goal should be to enhance the human experience. #IRL2025 2/x

An AI synthesis of @briansolis.bsky.social keynote at #IRL2025 this moring in multiple parts.

The discussion highlighted a crucial aspect of navigating our increasingly technology-driven world: the importance of human experience and emotional connection in the context of innovation and automation.

Fact or fiction? #IRL2025

That would be really helpful constraint in the era of AI written books for which authors only invest a day or two...

One of the key insights from @briansolis.bsky.social keynote this am at #IRL2025 The importance of stoytelling as the bridge between technology, organizations and our common humanity. When we humanize our work through narratives that touch our heart, we create deeper connections with our customers.

sentient being is what I should have said here, realizing I lost the nuance... with the point being not that it isn't a collaborator, but a new type of collaborative intelligence that lacks humanity

The most important #mindshift for AI is to understand it's not a sentient entity or collaborator but a tool that augments our humanity and transforms the quality of our work outcomes. Unlike other tools, this is a unique 24/7 expert collaborator that increases the value of #HumanWork #IRL2025

#IRL2025 People are still speaking different languages and FEELING separate from each other, which is as much a divider in our world today as it was in the old world when we put the brutes on the walls to protect us. We need to take the walls down and open the doors to our common humanity.

"The way forward isn't more of the same. It can't be more of the same" qt @briansolis.bsky.social #IRL2025

"reimagine the future of organizations" - yes, more of this!

I'm live today at the CRM Playaz #IRL2025 event in freezing Atlanta. They are doing something interesting here during @briansolis.bsky.social 's keynote - a visual artist translating discussion onto a canvas.

The importance of questions is our original & strongest technology. We need to be able to step into the possibilities that arise from what we learn from those we speak with. We must speak with empathy, awareness of their humanity, of our common humanity with them. From this all is possible. #IRL2025

#NeverAgain Let's stop this madness before it is 7,987,000

Coming to you today from #Coldlanta for #IRL2025

Is this live skying?

Kicking off with @briansolis.bsky.social "100% of people think they are self aware, less than 10% are"

or something like that... #DuningKruger

Instagram is now actively censoring and preventing posts about Elons Nazi Salut from being posted to stories.

The freedom of speech people don’t believe in freedom, they only believe in their speech.

Are yall ok with this? The guy who went on Joe Rogan to complain about censoring misinformation?

Pardoning those who attacked law enforcement officers (I thought he said that was antifa?) and ironically weaponizing government to end the weaponization of government are just a few of the most ridiculous things I can imagine. But it’s going to get worse. To all you dems who stayed home - fuck you
