Punk Rock friction – Safe for work too!

“AI should be embraced as a tool for support and accommodation—not as a replacement. Learning to use it effectively and ethically at scale is a vital part of the modern learning journey.”
I shared this today as the noise around AI fluency keeps growing louder. Just a reminder: there is an “I” in TEAM… it’s in the A-hole. 😄
Years ago, while working in France during a turbulent team-building phase, I sketched the image above. The team was crumbling, and we were trying to forge connections in the chaos. That drawing became a symbol of resilience and raw honesty.
I’ve always brought a bit of punk rock friction into my business efforts—challenging norms, pushing boundaries, and keeping things real. Looking back, this moment still resonates. It reminds me that sometimes, the most meaningful connections are forged not in comfort, but in the fire.
