Juliet Diaries

As artificial intelligence continues to transform the way we work, learn, communicate, and make decisions, an important question emerges: What makes us uniquely human—and how can we strengthen those abilities in an AI-powered world?
‎
‎In this episode of Juliet Diaries, we welcome Dr. Angela Meyers, author, researcher, speaker, and founder of Polymaths Place. Dr. Meyers brings a fascinating perspective on human intelligence, adaptability, leadership, critical thinking, and the future of work.
‎
‎Drawing from her book Versatile: Human Intelligence in an Artificial Age, her doctorate in Human and Organizational Learning, and 15 years of federal government experience—including work with the White House and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's Center for Leadership Development—Dr. Meyers explores why the future may belong to people who can connect ideas, continuously learn, collaborate, and adapt rather than simply specialize in one area.
‎
‎Together, we discuss how individuals and organizations can develop the human capabilities that technology cannot easily replace, and how we can learn to work with AI without losing the qualities that make us human.
