3 minutes max. - Human Skills in the Age of AI (English version)

Join Andre Ottlik and his AI co-host Jules in the "3 minutes max." podcast as they dive into the fascinating world of decision-making in the age of AI. Did you know you make between 20,000 to 35,000 decisions daily, with the vast majority happening unconsciously? In this lively episode, Andre and Jules explore how you can bring more awareness into your decision-making process, helping you be more in control rather than reactive.

In this episode, you'll discover two actionable tips to increase awareness of your unconscious decision patterns. First, throughout the day, notice which decisions you make automatically and which ones require more thought. In the evening, take just two minutes to reflect on these moments. Which small decisions came easily, and which ones made you ponder?

Second, identify a decision you've been unconsciously putting off. It could be something as simple as choosing between two tasks. Consider using a decision-making app like "DecidApp" for Android or "Decide Now!" for iOS to help clarify your choices with guided questions.

By focusing on these small steps, you can enhance your decision-making process, making it more deliberate and less automatic. Don't forget to subscribe to "3 minutes max." to stay updated with practical insights for adapting to the future of work.

In this episode of '3 Minutes Max. – Human Skills in the Age of AI,' join Andre Ottlik and Jules for insights into the art of giving effective feedback.

Feedback is crucial for building trust and promoting collaboration within teams. A study by the Center for Creative Leadership indicates that teams receiving regular constructive feedback can see productivity improvements of up to 30%. Learn how both the giver and receiver of feedback benefit from improved communication skills and self-reflection.

You'll discover practical tips for delivering feedback effectively, such as using the AID model: Action, Impact, Desire. Starting with a positive note and using specific examples sets the tone for constructive feedback. It's important to remember that how feedback is received varies from person to person, depending on several factors.

Andre encourages you to explore digital tools like ChatGPT to organize thoughts and articulate feedback clearly. Additionally, structured templates and scientific evidence support the continuous optimization of feedback forms within teams.

In this episode of "3 minutes max.," Andre Ottlik and his AI co-host Jules delve into the art of accepting feedback without the emotional turmoil. Andre shares insights into how those who actively listen to feedback tend to develop more effectively over time, as opposed to those who defensively block it. Avoiding such defensiveness is crucial as it encourages a steady flow of constructive feedback, nourishing personal and team growth.

Tip one for today is to pause and breathe when receiving feedback. Listen attentively without diving headfirst into defensiveness. Don't hesitate to ask clarifying questions like, "Can you give me an example?" or "What would have been different for you?" Additionally, if possible, sleep on it; perspective improves with a bit of rest.

In a unique twist, tip two integrates AI: Use tools like ChatGPT to help process your reaction to feedback. By writing down the feedback and asking questions like "Why does this trigger me?" you allow AI to assist in distinguishing emotions from the facts, constructing a route towards positively channeling the insights gained.

Discover how accepting feedback doesn’t necessarily mean agreement, but rather opens up new perspectives.

In today's episode of "3 Minutes Max," we tackle the delicate art of giving feedback when someone's explanation runs long. Join Andre and Jules as they share practical exercises to help you communicate more effectively without causing discomfort. 

The first exercise encourages brevity and clarity. After your colleague has spoken, ask them to summarize their thoughts in one concise sentence. This approach not only sharpens the speaker's message but also ensures you grasp the key points effortlessly. 

The second exercise involves personalizing feedback with the help of AI. By identifying areas where your colleague excels in concise communication, you can use tools like ChatGPT to craft feedback based on the AID model (Action - Impact - Desire). Deliver this feedback privately for a more receptive and productive conversation. Better feedback enhances communication skills both professionally and personally. Implement these exercises and observe the positive changes in your interactions.
