  • Ask yourself how you train these skills and how often you actually use them.
  • Note three situations this week where AI helped you and the human contribution that made it work.

Welcome to three minutes max. I'm Andre, your coach and tech buddy from the Digital Leader program. Today's focus is less on tools and more on you. AI can speed you up and make your work more precise. But the context, the judgment and the responsibility are still yours.

00:27 Andre Ottlik
1st the human skill audit: Write down your three most important skills that AI can't replace. For example, I think I'm particularly good at sensing people's moods, quickly grasping team cultures, and tailoring my message to specific target groups. Then ask yourself, how do you consciously train your skills, and how often do you actually use them in everyday life?
