Really looking forward to attending the ALT Conference #ALTC26 in Cardiff this year, and leading a workshop on strategic and leadership capabilities. This time of year always brings back many conference memories for me :)

This morning's dystopian email award goes to the pitch for the "next-gen AI-native PeopleOS" . Where AI agents do all the work and YOU get to focus on what really matters. Delightful.

Re-reading this today as I picked up this beautiful little edition recently. I wish I had discovered this essay and Rebecca Solnit’s wonderful work much earlier in my life. Even so, every time I revisit it I find new meaning for me.
