Most companies say they want to develop their people, yet they often sideline coaching.

FUTURE OF WORK

AI Fluency As an Essential Element Towards a Smarter Workforce

Today's workforce is at a critical crossroads. While many employees use AI, only a small, fluent group truly partners with it. This article goes beyond basic training to reveal how neuroscience can unlock your team's full potential.

By cultivating a growth mindset, fostering cognitive flexibility, and mitigating inherent biases, leaders can guide their people to a place of true partnership with AI, transforming their organization's relationship with technology.

HR STRATEGY

Gen AI Learning Should Drive Performance, Not Just Productivity

Learning Gen AI through quick hacks might boost output today but it won’t build lasting capability. True performance comes when employees practice, experiment, and grow in context—not just consume content. The right systems and guidance can turn AI from a productivity trick into a transformative force for confidence, creativity, and resilience.
