Episode 423: How AI Can Help Us Show Meaningful Appreciation (And Be More Human at Work)

The lack of specificity means those words are cheap and the positive impact they make is short-lived. Here's how to show authentic appreciation, using AI as a thinking partner (not a ghost writer) to pinpoint exactly what you appreciate so you can convey a truly meaningful message of thanks.
