Why Wall Street has downgraded AI tech stocks and how you can grab the upswing...

Have you noticed it? The subtle, almost imperceptible shift in the narrative around AI. Once hailed as the ultimate game-changer, AI is now facing a reality check. The first signs appeared just before Labor Day, with Wall Street downgrading many AI-tech-based stocks. The message is clear: AI might not be all it’s cracked up to be.

The AI Reality Check

AI has its strengths, no doubt. It can process data at lightning speed, generate content, and even mimic human creativity to an extent. But as the hype settles, we’re starting to see its limitations. AI struggles with the nuances, the emotional depth, and the intangible qualities that make businesses truly thrive. Like us humans, AI will struggle to earn a living if 'real value' (i.e. sweat and tears) is not tangible or if the CO2 cost for all our micro-prompts not viable...

If you pay attention, what is this telling us? And telling you: loud and clear

There is another slow nudging momentum, we are quietly, on the sidelines, witnessing (from those that have no interest in selling tech stocks, or simply increasing shareholder (not employee value): A progressive and positive movement that nudges our thinking that we ‘dumb-arse' humans fill the gap right where the AI tools can't quite slip and fit in. 

And Wall Street’s nod to this reality is just the beginning. The real shift is happening in boardrooms, creative studios, and small businesses where people are rediscovering the irreplaceable value of human ingenuity...

We humble humans are great at the very real stuff that builds businesses: 

• The creativity (not just the words and visuals), yet also real problem solving, the conceptual expansion that shifts the needle

• The fun engaging and surprising stuff that keeps humans (employees) motivated (and customers happy)

• The way humans communicate feelings, through ideas, visuals, words, and even live interactions. We admit mistakes, show vulnerability, and build trust in ways AI simply can’t.

• Most of all we create that special << je ne sais quoi>>> glue that binds businesses together, builds it and makes it flourish with its magic sauce

In short, we humans have all the right skills to thrive in this digital world. The key is realizing that we’re not the problem; we’re the solution.

So what do we do with this A-HUH moment that we humans are the real magic to businesses actually thriving??

This realization comes with a challenge. If you think you can land your next gig with an AI-enhanced CV or by mastering AI tools, you’re only halfway there. The magic happens when you bring your full, authentic, human self to the table.

• Interviews: Your "magic humanness" is what will land you the job, not just your AI skills. You need to keep your human magic skills and tools up to date also - WORK THAT SOCIAL MUSCLE & KEEP IT SUPER FIT > so that YOU can shine anywhere, anytime

• Networking: If your network exists solely online, you’re missing out on the deeper connections that keep you top of mind for new opportunities, new gigs, that promotion

  • Having the skills to quickly and gently build a rapport with most people will make you 'likeable' to more people...! And 'Yes' people want to work with people they like...

• Industry Insight: Blogs and free trainings are great, but nothing beats face-to-face conversations with local professionals who know the "tea" on what’s really happening in your field.

  • PLUS FREE BONUS: These human connections don’t just help you stay informed; they activate your brain in ways that digital interactions can’t. They spark ideas, solve problems, and open doors you didn’t even know existed.
