A friend of mine, Jennifer Berkowitz, a very talented business coach, posted something on LinkedIn that I thought was really interesting.
She said, “Try this experiment. Go into ChatGPT and ask it to tell you something about yourself that you may not know. Then, after you do that, tell it to go back in and be critical.”
So I thought this was really interesting.
I uploaded about 50 posts of mine and then I went in and I asked the question.
It came back and I thought it gave a pretty good assessment of me based on my posts….20 years experience….deep empathy towards the struggles of entrepreneurship and it felt in alignment and reasonably complimentary, I would say.
Then I went in and said, okay, be critical.
It came back and said that maybe one of the reasons that I have this ability to empathize with the struggles of an entrepreneur is that:
I'm too slow to make decisions around delegation.
!Ouch!
That stung
There's some truth to that, particularly early on when I was running my business.
It's why I brought coaching into my world:
→ To help me get unstuck and figure out why this felt so difficult.
When I thought about it a little more, I realized part of the gift of that suffering is:
→ I could use my experiences to help others make those decisions faster.
Try the experiment.
It was fun and I continue to learn.
I hope you have a great day!
