Are you showing up to work every day feeling mentally checked out? Just going through the motions, doing the bare minimum, and wondering, "What’s the point?" You’re not alone.The silent rebellion sweeping workplaces across the UK and beyond. This isn’t laziness. It’s a systemic breakdown, crushing inflation, stagnant wages, toxic leadership, and the blurred lines between work and home life, leaving millions disengaged, burnt out, and asking: "Why am I even doing this?"This isn’t about blame. It’s about *taking back control.* Because if you’re feeling this way, your mind and body are telling you something. The question is, *are you ready to listen?*Download a free CV template here 👉🏿 https://michaeltabirade.com/cv-template-download/ to better articulate your value and take the first step toward a career that works for you. - ---------Join my ‘Consultant Mindset’ newsletter here: https://michaeltabirade.com/newsletters/Get a 1-hour impact call here:https://michaeltabirade.com/coaching/ - --------Michael Tabirade is an Independent Management Consultant and Executive Coach specializing in guiding leaders through transformative changes and scaling operations effectively.Leveraging his extensive experience in programme management and previously working closely with top consulting firms, Michael empowers leaders to achieve sustained success by enhancing strategic decision-making, improving organizational health, and fostering personal and professional growth.He is also an author of 4 books, Trustee for the Institute of Leadership and has spoken at organisations such as BBC Radio 1, University of Leicester, and CAPCO

Two visions for the future of AI clash in this debate between Daniel Kokotajlo and Arvind Narayanan.
Is AI a revolutionary new species destined for runaway superintelligence, or just another step in humanity’s technological evolution—like electricity or the internet?
Daniel, a former OpenAI researcher and author of AI 2027, argues for a fast-approaching intelligence explosion. Arvind, a Princeton professor and co-author of AI Snake Oil, contends that AI is powerful but ultimately controllable and slow to reshape society. Moderated by Ryan and David, this conversation dives into the crux of capability vs. power, economic transformation, and the future of democratic agency in an AI-driven world.
