[Ailist] Re: challenges of "doing" AI

[Edward Jacobson]

Dear AI Listservers:
   
  I’ve been following this thread with great interest over the last days. Applying the AI principles and methods in one’s personal life and the workplace is something I spend a lot of time thinking about and working with clients on. I’ve been writing a weekly column on this topic, which I call “This Appreciative Moment,” for some months, and sending it out (free) via email to clients, friends, and anyone else who hears about it; about 80% of the 400 or so recipients are financial planners; I’ve covered a very wide variety of themes, always incorporating stories from my own life, often centering on events in the prior week. One of the most fascinating developments, from a personal perspective, is that the more I write about applying AI in my own life (successfully or otherwise), it’s created a great deal of cognitive dissonance for me to “act AI” as well as write about it; just as my coaching, consulting, and workshops, force me to strive to be in alignment with what I am
 “preaching.”
   
  I’ve been encouraged by readers to do a book of these “moments,” and so am in the process of doing that. As a result, I’ve been finding my “writing voice” lately, and I would like to offer to send the column to anyone on the AI listserve who might like to check it out.  If that’s you, please drop me an email, at edjacobson1 at sbcglobal.net; if you’d care to keep it brief, just put “column” in the subject header. (But you don’t have to; it would be great to hear your thoughts and your own stories of striving to live the appreciative life.)
   
  Thank you.
   
  Appreciatively, Ed Jacobson
    


Thank you.
   
  Appreciatively,
