The Future of Less Work—And the Executive Edge AI Can’t Replace | Nirit Cohen

You’ve been told:

“Work smarter, not harder.”

But Executives are waking up to a harsh reality:

AI is cheap. Fast. Scalable.
And it’s replacing parts of your job that made your title impressive.

Nirit Cohen saw this coming.


As a former Intel exec, Forbes columnist, and Future of Work Strategist, she’s been tracking the trends most leaders are just waking up to.

Her take is clear: The future isn’t more hustle. It’s more human.


“Less work” isn’t about layoffs.
It’s about leadership finally getting redefined.

And efficiency isn’t the goal; it’s differentiation.

Here is what we break down:

  • Why RTO “return to office” isn’t about collaboration but about control
  • How AI is replacing tasks but NOT talent
  • The real reason voice will replace keyboards (and why it matters for execs)
  • What the new career path looks like when ladders are dead and rock walls rule
  • How to find your “unfair advantage” and make it non-negotiable

    • AI will do the busywork.

    But only you can bring the lens, insight, that human touch.  

    This episode is your guide to owning the work only you can do.

    The future isn’t less valuable. It’s less vanilla.
