In today's video, we delve into an uncharted territory, a concept I'm calling "Liminal Space," that ambiguous area on the threshold of something new and transformative. While I pulled together this video in a rush due to a last-minute change in guests, it just might be one of the most important ones yet.

I highlight three of the biggest changes happening in the world of work, which include the role of artificial intelligence in our lives and future, the changing expectations of the employee experience, and the current economic uncertainty. I unpack why, despite the relentless march of technology, some things will never become obsolete. Instead, they will evolve, adapting to this new era ahead.

This video is an exploration of our transitional phase, standing at the edge of the familiar, staring into an unknown future. It's a bit like walking through a foggy twilight, where the world as we know it is beginning to shape-shift before our eyes. It's unsettling, but remember, no great change ever came without a little discomfort.

In this conversation, I also dive into my philosophy about life – the lessons learnt growing up in a funeral home, the value of purpose, the mirage of control, and the art of holding things with an open hand. This is about finding balance between purposeful action and acceptance of uncertainty, a mantra for navigating the paradoxes of our times.

But most importantly, this video is a call to arms – a reminder that while this journey is individual, it is far from solitary. We are all navigating this together, and if we can be honest, open, and supportive, we're more than capable of weathering the storm.

I hope you'll join me on this exploration. This isn't just a video; it's an invitation - to reflect, to engage, and to journey forward into the fog of the future. As always, it's not just about finding answers, but about asking the right questions. And boy, do we have some questions lined up for you!

Tune in, lean in, and let's explore this 'liminal space' together. I promise, it'll be worth the ride.
