I spent the morning giving an AI seminar with local business leaders. The room was full of people trying to figure out what AI means for their future.
Here's what I told them: the skills that matter most in an agentic world aren't technical. They're deeply human.
The 3 C's of success in the age of AI:
Creativity: AI can generate, but it can't originate. Your ability to see what doesn't exist yet is your edge.
Critical Thinking: AI will give you confident answers. Knowing which ones to trust is the real skill.
Communication: The people who can clearly articulate what they want — to humans and to machines — will run circles around everyone else.
The future doesn't belong to people who can code. It belongs to people who can think.
KEEP THINKING.
