I asked AI to create an image of me based on what it “knows”.
I’m not sure whether to be impressed or mildly offended.
What it got right, what it got wrong.
In a moment of curiosity, I asked AI to create an image of me based on what it ‘knows’. As a leadership coach and business owner working with high-capacity leaders, a consultant and entrepreneur, I was fascinated to see what surfaced…
I'm delighted with the thicker hair and classy appearance.
I think my fashion choices are a little more edgy than this and maybe it's added ten years on me. Who knows? My internal youthful optimism is sometimes in denial with what appears in the mirror.
What it got right: Ceremonial cacao on the table, keep me in my heart through the day
Red roses: my middle name and my mother's lineage. They remind me of her birthdays and her death and my grandfather, who mainly did most of the raising of me. When I sat and prayed with her co**se, the room was filled with flowers, and I took red roses and laid them around her bed.
Apple laptop, nope, I don’t like their sustainability programme, so I'm not an Apple fan, as pretty as they are.
It's been a long time since I had a camera like that, although I did use to develop my own photos in the darkroom at art school, pre-digital.
Whoop, yes, tracking my exercise, which keeps me sane. Exercise, not the tracking.
The jewellery's a little simple for my tastes. Where be my thumb rings?
Two pens, one notebook. Where are the other fifteen notebooks? That's what I want to know. ADHD support hack.
Yes, I have a microphone on my desk. Podcast interviews, client meetings and a hangover from voiceover days, did you ever hear me telling you about M&S chocolate or the importance of giving blood to the NHS, I wonder?
I love the beach. I live opposite one. I'm looking at the sea as I type.
I love a mountain. I have climbed a few.
I love swimming in the sea, especially when its as warm as this looks.
I love the sea, a sunset, and a sunrise. In fact I just love the sun in general, so I'm struggling a bit with the UK right now. Was it only a month ago I was jogging around Miami beach?
A group of people dancing behind me. I imagine I brought them together for a retreat or elite leaders making a transformation outside of their comfort zone.
And a bonfire to sit around and share stories, because stories are how we've survived as a humanity. The power of story is what opens our hearts. It's what fuelled my life as an actor, creating connection through shared experience, and it's also what I'm going to be doing this year on my mastermind. Oops, did I let the cat out of the bag? More of that to follow...
If you’re craving a life and work experience that feels vibrant, intelligent and deeply aligned with who you truly are, not just another year of performing competence under strip lighting, stay close.
This year, I am opening a small, private mastermind for high-capacity women ready for real expansion. Identity expansion. Financial expansion. Spiritual expansion. The kind that changes how you stand in a room and how money moves in your world.
It will not be large. It will not be loud. And it will not be for everyone.
If you feel a quiet yes as you read this, reply to this email with the word EXPAND and tell me where you know you are playing smaller than your capacity.
I will personally respond and, if it feels aligned, invite you into the next step.
With love and a little yey-ha!
