Welcome back for another episode of ‘Turn the Lens’ with our ongoing conversations with ChatGPT. We've been hitting the heavy topics of ethics and explainable AI. And I think there are some real challenges there that, that we have to overcome. But I want to do something a little bit more fun. So in this episode, we're going to do a different type of project, not so heavy and deep, but hopefully, have some fun with ChatGPT and get some answers. So here we go. ‍

Dominic Price returns to Work 20XX, this time from the floor of Atlassian’s Team ’25 conference in Anaheim. Dom shared his candor, introspection, experiences, and hopes on the back end of a busy week, in person, across a small high boy table, on far more than the future of work. Simultaneously tired out and fired up, it promises to take some fun and unexpected turns.&nbsp; Dominic has multiple frameworks, available to all, which can help all teams perform better. From the User Manual, to Working Agreements, the Personal Moral Inventory to the Modern Work Manifesto, think of them as intentional guide rails to prevent unnecessary friction and turbulence down the road when unfounded assumptions collide into behavior and attitude differences around specific actions. Sometimes resulting in intentional internal sabotage. Dom is more than playbooks. He leans into the learning attitude, and looking in for opportunities to have existing beliefs challenged and updated with new information, so we can evolve and progress, not get stuck.&nbsp; Beyond active listening, ask questions, be a catalyst, be curious, be explicit in your acceptance and actively seek out alternative views, approaches, and opinions. How would you approach this problem? What would you do differently? Be the catalyst to move the knowledge forward.&nbsp; Please join me in welcoming Dominic Price back to the Work 20XX podcast This time, live and in person, from Atlassian Team ‘25.&nbsp; Thank you Dom Editors Note: Recorded 2025-Apr-10, Anaheim Convention Center.
