Y’all are showing up! The registrations keep pouring in, so I upgraded my zoom account to make space for the demand!

I’ve got room for 500 folks and would be delighted to make room for a 1,000+ if needed!

Elevating Women’s Wellbeing in the Workplace is a workshop for EVERYONE! If you join me on October 29 at 11am CDT, you’ll be able to:

1. Describe the five dimensions of workplace wellbeing (career, financial, community, emotional, and physical) and their influence on women’s engagement, retention, and long-term career growth.

2. Examine how workplace systems, leadership behaviors, and organizational practices shape women’s experiences across each dimension of wellbeing.

3. Identify practical strategies that individuals, people leaders, and organizations can implement to strengthen wellbeing and create conditions that support sustained engagement and growth.

Can’t wait to see/meet you next week! 🙌🩷💯

Last week, I commuted to the Loop (downtown Chicago) during morning rush hour. 🚙☀️🤯

As a self-employed, remote-first business owner, and decades-long city dweller, this commute was a new experience for me—and not in a novel, can’t wait to repeat this tomorrow, kind of way.

At one point during the drive, I called my BFF to leave a voicemail and said, “Do people really do this everyday? I can’t believe people do this everyday. OMG.”

Obvs, I’m an n=1 in the data set, but I’m not the only one with this stop-the-commute-insanity thinking.

Let’s start reimagining what work, the workday, and the office means for the future of work, before the AI Agents and Tech Bros decide for us. 🙌💯

This is your ☀️Mental Health Monday☀️ reminder to think about how you think (it’s very meta, I know)!

Sometimes, in an attempt to protect us, our brains lead us astray (Sunk Cost Fallacy, anyone?!).

If you’ve fallen into any of these traps, I’m encouraging you to enact “The Fresh Start Effect” this week to avoid regret in the future 🙌🩷💯

Knowing how your brain fools you is only useful if it changes what you do. A couple of these sting.

Which one are you going to use first?

Roger Buehler, Dale Griffin, and Michael Ross published the study that named the planning fallacy in 1994. They asked psychology students to predict the day they would finish their honors thesis. The average prediction was 33.9 days. The average reality was 55.5 days. The researchers also asked for a worst-case estimate, assuming everything went wrong, and got 48.6 days. Even the doomsday number was optimistic.

Buehler, R., Griffin, D., & Ross, M. (1994). Exploring the “planning fallacy”: Why people underestimate their task completion times. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 67(3), 366–381.

Follow Daniel Pink for behavioral science you can put to work the same day you read it.

For the longer version, my newsletter The Pink Report gives 152,000+ readers the big ideas and practical advice to work smarter and live better. Link in bio.

Can we please reserve agency for the humans? Or, minimally, prioritize agency for the humans? Or disproportionately tax the corporations adding AI Agents to their org chart before adding more humans? Please? 😵‍💫😬🤯

Repost from WIRED

The rise of AI agents—systems, based on large language models, designed to complete tasks autonomously—has launched a tsunami of companies selling the services of digital employees. These agents are supposed to be the perfect worker bees: available 24/7, never complaining, and providing superhuman intelligence.

Yet there has been curiously little discussion of what these agents are like as actual coworkers. Julie Bedard, a Boston Consulting Group partner, noticed the murky nature of how people talked about AI at work three years ago, as rapid adoption of ChatGPT convinced executives the technology could bring exponential improvements in productivity.

“People didn’t have language for it,” Bedard tells WIRED. “Is it a tool? Is it a teammate?�Is it a colleague? Is it a coworker?”

The success of AI agents depends not only on their ability to provide financial returns, but also to work harmoniously alongside the existing workforce. That means companies have crafted agents that boast the benefits of AI, packaged in a human-like bundle of traits to encourage employees to anthropomorphize their new colleagues.
