We are delighted to have Didi Aurelia as our guest today. Didi is an educator, psychologist, speaker, and the author of 100 Days to a More Aware You.
Having spoken recently at the World Economic Forum about the role of AI in supporting conscious decision-making, Didi is the ideal person for business owners and those seeking to integrate more mindful decision-making processes into their practices to consult with.
Stay tuned for Didi’s thought-provoking insights on using AI to enhance awareness and support intentional choices.
Personal Transformation
Didi highlights her journey of self-awareness and growth in her book, 100 Days to a More Aware You. She believes lasting transformation comes when people engage deeply with their lives, make conscious decisions, and take small, intentional steps toward change. She encourages individuals to become aware of their habits and mindsets and make the necessary shifts to align with their goals.
Redefining Identity
After leaving the corporate world, Didi found it hard to lose her executive identity. Initially, she struggled with the idea that success was defined solely by her title and role. However, over time, she learned to focus on her fulfillment, which mattered to her, and redefine her identity and success instead of focusing on external labels.
The Why Not Me Movement
Didi launched the Why Not Me movement to help people overcome impostor syndrome and self-doubt. By encouraging the simple question, Why not me?, the movement challenges limiting beliefs and empowers people to pursue their goals with greater confidence and self-assurance.
Living in Alignment with Personal Values
Didi highlights the importance of living according to core values like honesty, integrity, and authenticity. By staying true to your values, you can develop the ability to navigate challenges and make decisions that align with who you are. That approach leads you to a more meaningful and fulfilled life, where you can feel empowered to make choices that reflect your beliefs.
AI for Self-Awareness
Didi sees artificial intelligence as a powerful tool for increasing self-awareness. She believes that AI platforms, such as ChatGPT, can serve as mirrors to help people reflect on their actions and decisions by providing insights into behavior patterns and offering alternative perspectives to improve decision-making skills and promote conscious behavior.
Changing Roles of Women in the Workplace
Even though there has been significant progress in terms of the evolving roles of women in the workplace, women still face challenges, particularly in asserting their worth. Didi encourages women to self-promote, embrace their value, and take ownership of their achievements, to break free from traditional gender roles that often lead to underrepresentation and underestimation of women’s contributions.
Teaching Leadership to the Next Generation
Didi believes leadership is about nurturing confidence, courage, and authenticity from a young age. By instilling leadership qualities and empowering young girls to believe in their potential, parents can help break down societal gender norms and build more confident future leaders.
Embracing AI for Change
When used mindfully, AI offers powerful opportunities for personal growth and societal advancement. Rather than fearing it, individuals can use AI to increase self-awareness, improve decision-making, and foster deeper connection and understanding in an increasingly digital world.
