Ever wonder why your AI tools sometimes feel like they’re not quite getting it? ?? Last week, I sat down with Samantha to explore this and other questions during an intimate fireside chat at a salon event hosted by Peter, Kate, and Serafim. This special conversation celebrated International Women’s Day and the one-year anniversary of Blossoms & Thorns #10, with the theme “Engagement as immunity: why mass AI adoption is our best defense.” Here’s a brief excerpt with a practical, no-degree-needed approach to getting more out of AI tools. It’s a simple shift in perspective that can make a big difference. Curious? Take a look and let me know what you think!

We are excited to announce our partnership with (TRN) The Recruitment Network! There's a ton of venture funding going into disrupting recruitment right now. Just last month, AI startup Mercor hit a $2B valuation - showing how new tech-savvy players are shaking up this traditional industry. But here's the thing: recruitment companies with years of experience and strong relationships can thrive in this market with the right AI training. That's exactly what we want to help TRN members do. PS. For Massachusetts businesses: We're still offering AI training for free through a grant for the next two months. DM if interested!

Ambitious SMEs can be the biggest winners of AI. If their employees learn how to experiment. Quick experimentation is a key advantage in today's AI economy. We helped an agency master this approach. Their results? Transformative. We shared their story in our new Forbes Technology Council article. Link in comments. Savion Ray

On doing things that don’t scale... For the past two months,?Tome, Viktorija and I have worked super hands-on with ambitious businesses who want to grow faster. Through a 'concierge' service, enabled by our Teamo AI, we work with clients until they achieve real time savings using the most affordable AI solutions. The results speak for themselves: One client can serve 25 clients instead of 15 - with the same team size Another cut their product sprint from 10 to 7 days These businesses will win. Not through massive tech investments, but through hunger and smart execution. We’re offering this service through end of February. Something exciting launches March 1st (stay tuned)!! Reach out if you want to work with us. MA-based employees can get costs reimbursed through training grants.

3 Leadership Traps That Kill AI Projects Before They Begin ?? 1?? Chasing AI Without a Clear Business Vision ?? Only 22% of companies see real ROI from AI. ?? Why? They rush into projects that look exciting but don't align with their strategy. ?? Solution: Start with your business goals, then find AI that serves them - not the other way around. 2?? The "We'll Figure Out ROI Later" Trap Leaders often settle for vague outcomes like "improved efficiency" or "better customer experience". Fix: Define success metrics before you start. If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Period. 3?? Expecting Transformation Without Changing Culture ?? The #1 reason AI projects fail isn't tech - it's culture. ?? Your best AI strategy means nothing if your team fears automation or lacks data literacy. Change must start at the top. AI success isn't about having the biggest budget or the most data scientists. It's about leadership that understands the fundamentals. ?? ---------------- We at TeamLift, specialized in AI training that drives real ROI for SMBs.? Massachusetts businesses, you could get your training costs reimbursed through the Commonwealth Corporation - DM me to explore how.soon!

The AI skills gap is REAL. And it's hitting companies harder than ever. I talk to leaders daily, and here's what I hear: "We know we need AI..."?? "Our team isn't ready..."?? "There's so much happening, I already feel behind..." The truth is: Your competitors are moving. The gap is widening.

What makes a team truly future-ready? It's about being adaptable. Flexible. Always hungry to learn. But here's the shocking part: Only 11% of workers are actually future-ready. Let that sink in. That means 89% of people are stuck. Frozen. Waiting for change to happen TO them instead of preparing FOR it. We used to think being future-ready meant: Having every certification ?? Knowing every tool ??? Being perfect at everything ?? Now we know it means: Being comfortable with change ?? Embracing new skills ?? Taking control of your growth ?? The most successful people we know aren't the ones who know everything. They're the ones who are willing to learn anything. They're the ones who see AI as an opportunity, not a threat. They're the ones who ask, "How can we use this?" instead of, "Will this replace us?" This is why we (TeamLift) are passionate about helping teams become future-ready through AI upskilling. We've developed a program that doesn't just teach AI - it transforms how teams work with it. We focus on: Finding real opportunities in your workflow ?? Practical, hands-on implementation ??? Clear, measurable results ?? Because being future-ready isn't optional anymore. It's essential. ?? Got a team in Massachusetts?
