Welcome to my Friday issue of Peak Performers, sharing my latest podcast episode and practical insights to help you stand out, lead with confidence, and land better opportunities.

As always, a big thank you for all of your support 🙌


AI isn’t going to take your job. But someone using AI might.

Here's a recent stat I found incredible: 66% of hiring managers say they won’t hire someone who isn’t comfortable with generative AI.
​
​
That’s the shift happening right now. It's also why you should check out my latest YouTube podcast below with Ronnie Martin of Microsoft on the future of work. ​

💡 What’s happening:
​
→
The power is swinging back to employers. Companies want faster, smarter, AI-enabled talent.
→ Your biggest competition isn’t AI. It’s the person who knows how to use it better than you.

The future of work won’t wait for you to catch up. The ones who embrace it will own the next few years of career growth.

Go make it happen 🚀
