episode 579: 579: Rhonda Scharf- Turning Tech Fear into Opportunity
The advancement of technology and AI can be a touchy subject for some. However, I love digging into it because I feel it is important - especially now- to find peace with technology and get on the right side of the AI movement. I always want to encourage all the Creative Warriors out there to take advantage of the incredible technology we have at our fingertips.
Understanding the realities, benefits, and direction of the tech movement could make the difference between scaling a business and being left in the dirt. How might technology make your time scalable? What does it mean for small businesses and how can they stay ahead of the curve?
To break down why we shouldn’t fear technology I’ve brought on speaker, consultant, and author specializing in tech-driven people power, Rhonda Scharf.
For over 25 years, Rhonda has helped companies and individuals get on the right track and improve their productivity, effectiveness, and efficiency. She’s conducted more than 2,500 training workshops and seminars for Fortune 100 companies and tens of thousands of people worldwide. Her new book is Alexa Is Stealing Your Job: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Your Future provides an invaluable guided tour of where the world has been with artificial
intelligence, and how it will impact our lives and careers.
