There's going to be a generation of Caribbean elders that have healed from their trauma and helping the generations that come after to truly thrive.

There is a lot being written about the stylistic tells of AI writing (em-dashes, etc.) but this paper looks at AI narrative tells
Fascinating differences between AI & human narrative, and asking AI to write in different styles doesn't do much to change it arxiv.org/abs/2604.03136

Bragging about how much software youโre shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

The best leaders I've worked with had a talent for getting people to want to work with them and with others, the technical skills improved as a result.
Richard Byles says many middle managers struggle after promotion because companies elevate strong technical performers into leadership roles without preparing them to manage people.

This is a MASSIVE blow to airlift in the #Caribbean and there is no guarantee that other airlines will fill the void of those seats.
Many small islands PAY airlines for the airlift that brings in tourism revenue.
Some will say that Spirit customers were the cheap ones who didn't spend much money per day in a country as a tourist but it's possible that they penny-pinched on the flight in order to SPEND MORE on the trip which means a larger multiplier effect across the economy.

Adapting your style is wisdom, losing your spine is weakness. Leaders who become whoever the room needs produce brittle culture and followers, not direction.
If your real self is an obstacle to being a leader, there's a much deeper problem lurking below the surface.
Apr 7
I used to believe leaders should always show up as their authentic, natural selves.
I donโt believe that anymore.
As a leader, you need to be a chameleon at times, changing your approach depending on what the situation needs.
For a long time, I thought my role was to show up, discern, and decide. I assumed that was what good leadership looked like.
Discern & decideโฆ
Discern & decideโฆ
Thatโs the job (or so I thought).
But what I started to notice is that many people needed something else first.
They needed warming up.
They needed reassurance.
They needed empathy.
And in order to provide those things, I had to slow down. I had to stop assuming my natural way of showing up was the right way.
I had to change my approach from:
โWhat needs to get done?โ
To:
- How is everyone feeling right now?
- What do they need?
- Am I actually meeting them where they are? Or just where Iโm comfortable?
Leadership, at its best, isnโt about being yourself 100% of the time.
Itโs about being who others need you to be when they need it.

Authenticity has been so distorted in marketing and leadership spaces.
Your values, your judgment, your non-negotiables should remain intact regardless of how you adjust your tone or approach.
