His core takeaways were:
- Human desire is infinite so there will always be some work people can do. The question is will the work be meaningful and high value or denigrating and low value
- What humans will likely still do best is empathize with other humans, which enables us to persuade, inspire, entertain, and engender trust.
- People still want other

A while ago I got interested in being more agentic. Emmett Shear tweeted that it was teachable. He would train people by prompting them with certain questions.

This is a contentious question. Research demonstrates that executives (and organisations who hire coaches) do want business experience – 85% of executives selected “Business Experience” as important to their selection process. However, the criteria relating to coaching expertise rated higher:
“Ability to build rapport, trust and comfort with coach” (100%)
