In this emotional and thought-provoking episode, Sabine and Abha confront an alarming news story in the AI space: the tragic suicide of a 14-year-old allegedly influenced by a chatbot. Together, they explore the critical question: where does responsibility lie when AI and vulnerable minds intersect?

From unpacking the developmental science of young brains to exploring how emotional intelligence and conscious parenting can act as safeguards, this episode offers guidance for navigating an AI-powered world with empathy and awareness. If you’re a parent, educator, or anyone who cares about the next generation, this conversation is a must-listen.

In this punchy and passionate episode, Abha and Sabine dive into a surprisingly hot topic: the infamous "ChatGPT hyphen" — more accurately known as the em dash. 

Abha shares her writer's perspective on why the em dash is not a telltale sign of AI content but rather a powerful storytelling tool used by great authors for centuries.

Together, they explore:

• Why the em dash is trending in AI-generated writing.
• Whether we should judge content based on how it was made—or how it makes us feel.
• How to use AI tools without losing your authentic voice.
• A mindset shift: from fearing AI to focusing on content that adds value.

Key takeaway: It's not about AI vs. human. It's about meaningful, high-quality writing—em dash or not.

This week, reflect on your own content. Are you creating from a place of intention and value? Whether it’s with AI tools or not, what matters is the impact.

Tune in, and tag a friend who’s still calling it the "ChatGPT hyphen" — we’ve got some educating to do :)

This week on Who Do You Want to Be?, we unpack a fascinating—and slightly unsettling—experience from a recent AI conference in Bangkok. Sabine shares a story about a new app called Happily AI, designed to improve employee engagement and organizational culture in Asia. But what happens when leaders start using AI to avoid real conversations?

Together, we dive into:

• Why AI feedback tools must enhance, not replace, human connection
• The danger of outsourcing emotional intelligence to algorithms
• What Gen Z employees really want from their leaders
• How we can use AI to support authentic leadership—not dodge it

We ask the big question: Are we letting AI tools distance us from our humanity?

Key takeaways

• AI is a tool—not a replacement—for real human leadership.
• Feedback is only meaningful when followed by real conversations.
• Younger generations crave emotional intelligence and mentorship.
• We must use tech intentionally to support, not substitute, our values.

So this week, we urge you to take 5 minutes to ask yourself: “Am I hiding behind a tool when I should be showing up as a leader?” Reflect and share your thoughts with us or share with a friend who needs to hear this.
