Strategic upskilling that works:
70% = Use AI tools in current job
20% = Learn from AI-proficient colleagues
10% = Structured courses
Most people: 0-0-100
That's why courses don't translate to career gains.
Implementation beats information.

Most people avoid feedback because it feels uncomfortable.
But here's what feedback actually does:
It shows you're committed to improvement.
It gives you data others don't have.
It builds trust with people giving honest input.
It accelerates growth faster than self-assessment.

Building redundancy seems counterintuitive for job security.
"If I train someone else to do my job, won't I be replaced?"
