Thought leadership is about authentically sharing what you know. But what if you’re out of time and want AI to pinch hit? Here’s what I learned from a recent experience where I tried to sub in AI for my own care, intention, and reflection. A couple of weeks ago,
I spent the beginning of this week in New York at the second-annual Gathering of the Ghosts, a unique event that gathers ghostwriters, book publishers, and agents to compare notes about how we help people tell (and sell) their stories. If I had to choose one word to describe ghostwriters as
