Christina Wallace is a Harvard Business School instructor, serial entrepreneur, and author of the book The Portfolio Life. Wallace discusses how leaders and individuals should rethink careers and personal growth in AI-powered work. She also talks about the joy of seeing her students grasp the potential of AI, and how all of us can use AI as not just a virtual assistant but a “virtual chief of staff,” freeing up more time for the creative thinking and serendipity we’ll need to adapt to the constantly evolving world of work—and to simply rest and recharge.
Wallace is the third guest for season 5 of the WorkLab podcast, in which host Molly Wood has conversations with economists, technologists, and researchers who explore the data and insights about the work trends you need to know today—from how to use AI effectively to what it takes to thrive in a digital age.
Three big takeaways from the conversation:
WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
