Overview

Class Central Tips
Finding meaningful work and happiness in the AI age depends on you - your ability to learn, unlearn, and re-learn at the pace of technological change. Follow Edward D. Hess, Professor Emeritus of Business Administration at the Darden School of Business, as he lays the groundwork for personal development and exceptional leadership in an era of exponential technological growth. Volatility is the new norm. Technology is becoming faster and smarter than ever before. How can we distinguish ourselves in this new work environment? We must adapt to stay relevant, and according to Hess, we must become highly adaptive learners. Taking ownership of our minds, bodies, egos, emotions, behaviors, listening, and thinking is essential to success and allows us to bring our best selves to work each day. When we bring our best selves to work, we develop caring, trusting relationships with others, optimizing our ability to collaborate and work successfully in teams.

  • Human Excellence in the AI Age
    • Welcome to the Human Excellence in the AI Age module. This module addresses the challenges of work in the AI Age and the need to reman relevant - to not be automated out of a job. In this module, we will explore the skills that separate humans from technology (i.e.. critical thinking, relationship-building, problem solving) and the need for humans to become highly adaptive learners. Finally, we will discuss the biggest inhibitors of our ability to learn at the pace of change and the need for a new way of working to achieve success in the AI Age.
  • Managing Your Ego - Quieting Your Mind and Body
    • Welcome to the Managing Your Ego - Quieting Your Mind and Body module. Our ego and our fear are the two biggest inhibitors of our ability to adapt and grow. In this module, we explore how mastery of self (both mind and body) enables us to become highly adaptive learners. We can overcome the limitations of our ego and fear by embracing humility and a new definition of smart. Using a variety of tools (daily meditation, mindfulness practice, coherent breathing) we are able to quiet our minds and master our physical reactions to stress, creating space to become a highly adaptive learner.
