I help organizations build AI fluency and governance that actually changes behavior — not the kind that lives as a PDF on a Notion page. 19 years onboarding humans to strange new places (startups, scaling tech, enterprise agencies like GroupM and WPP) gave me a head start when AI showed up as just another strange new place. The TL;DR is my biweekly newsletter for leaders thinking through what AI means for their people.
The TL;DR, Fixing Your Team Culture, Briefly
|
A bi-weekly roundup of leadership resources March 16 - March 29 Fix A Broken Team CultureThere's beauty in being brief. So, instead of my bi-weekly rambling story filled with puns and links, I'm actually giving you the TL;DR. TL;DR: I wrote a new guide on how to reset team culture through crafting a leadership mandate. It's three preliminary steps, four specific action items, and a FAQ designed to fix team disengagement, trust issues, and/or constant tension. Definitely not brief, but it's specific.
A TL;DR from the CROWhen I sense that I'm becoming disengaged, I try to have some alone time. -Roman Noodles, Chief Ruff Officer Better Communication Helps TooYou know what also helps build a healthy team culture? Good communication. Have you downloaded our new free eBook on improving communication? This newsletter is chock full of guides. Here's one more: My longtime Accountabilibuddy and podcast cohost Alycia Angle and I created a guide that documented our own process for self-discovery, what we call the 30-Day Question Challenge. We did it in 2021, found amazing success, and decided to bring it back for Q2 of 2024. It's a great guide for people seeking clarity in their goals, life purpose, invisible roadblocks, and more. It's 30 questions over 30 days and we're starting on April 1st.

A bi-weekly roundup of sycophancy in 9 minutes August 22 - September 4 Remembering How To Human Quick note: September 16-18th I'll be at HubSpot's UNBOUND conference, doing tarot card readings about AI fluency/anxiety. I've set up a Braindate listing if you're going to be there, or just look for the guy in the Learn to Scale hat and ask for your fortune. I learned how to design trainings way back in my first job after college, in an AmeriCorps program at a charter school. Through a blend of...
A bi-weekly roundup of napkin math and secret ceilings. August 8 - August 21 Anthropic's 39% of flesh I'm midway through an AI transformation engagement with a climate client and one thing I agreed to chase down for them is a reliable way to measure AI's climate impact. After some research and 6K of ElevenLabs tokens, I had hacked together a short 5-minute podcast between three fake people to explain what I found. Wanna listen?
