Hi Reader,

When I help teams build their AI strategy (an AI policy, governance, some structure around how they use it), one thing surprises them more than anything else. I hear it in almost in every engagement:

"This wasn't so much about AI. It made us look at how we do our work in general."

And they're right. Most of the time in those sessions goes to how work gets done: who decides, who checks, how information moves, and what happens when two people disagree. Those rules were there before. But they lived in people's heads or as informal habits that everyone half-knew. The AI conversation brings them out, and for many teams it's the first time they agree on them out loud.

So even if AI isn't changing much in your work right now, or you don't use it at all, I'd like to invite you to the conversation.

Change is everywhere

AI is one change. There are plenty of others: a new product, a new project, a merger, an office in a new country. Each one shifts the way work gets done, and that changes what the work asks of people.

The same change can energize one person and exhaust another. A new market launch excites someone who loves building from zero. It drains someone who does their best work improving what already exists. That difference has less to do with skills and more to do with energy.

What we'll talk about

On October 8, I'm hosting a 60-minute live session called Beyond AI Adoption: Redesigning Work for Human Impact. We'll use the GC Index®, which measures how people are energized to make an impact. It looks at five proclivities:

Game Changers generate new ideas and possibilities
Strategists make sense of ideas and map the direction
Play Makers bring people together and get them working as a team
Implementers turn plans into results
Polishers make things better and raise the standard

Before the session, you'll complete a 10-minute questionnaire. Your answers build a live, anonymized team profile, and we'll read it together. We'll look at what that mix of energy means when the work changes, and at how to use it in development plans, team design and performance conversations.

The details

👉 Register

👉 Then complete the questionnaire:

Up to 30 participants can get their own personal GC Index® report at no cost (it's normally $300). I'll explain how to qualify at the end of the session.

What's changing in how your team works right now, whether it's AI or something else? Hit reply. I read every one.

Cheers,Daria

P.S. If you know someone whose team is going through a merger, a launch or a reorg, forward this to them. The session is built for exactly that moment.
