Germ: An idea in 90 seconds

Pivoting and self correction, piece of cake and the dessert of our 4 part series.

The entree of the 4 course meal. The key to emotional intelligence and my favorite coaching topic.

Part 2 of a 4-part series. Ted talks about intuition: what it is, what it isn't, and how to grow it as a skill. Intuition is a human skill that sets us apart from AI.

Ted starts a four-part series on why humans are better than AI, at least for now. Acknowledging these skills and working to improve them not only makes you better than a bot, but it also makes you a better human. "Judge well in complex or morally significant moments."

In this episode of Germ: An Idea in 90 Seconds, Ted talks about the word "Woke" and how he wants to reclaim it. #workingtobewoke
