T: Okay team, it’s time to put together an ICP!
ChatGPT: Um, T.
T: Yes?
Gemini: [clears his throat]
T: Oh. Right. I uh still haven’t really articulated that clearly to be able to define it yet?
Claude: Phew, so glad you said it first.
ChatGPT: But I get why T. You don’t want to box yourself in, but at the same time, without the clarity, we’ll just watch the wheels go round and round.
T: Thank you. You got it. But here’s the thing. I mean, yes, I have many facets to me these days. The throughline has, in a way, always been consistent.
Gemini: How so?
T: I mean, I’ve frequently found myself as the, for abundance of awesome words (yes, I am reframing the phrase because that’s what I do), a wing woman for leadership. I make sure things are running smoothly and help iron out kinks when they’re not.
ChatGPT: That is an honest statement. A little confusing, but honest nonetheless.
T: Well, thank you for this feedback! I don’t like using the word lack 😊
ChatGPT: Ah, now it’s clearer.
Claude: Maybe this is your starting point for the ICP, T.
T: With the kinks?
Claude: With the leaders, T.
T: Ah.
Gemini: What do the people you best work with have in common?
T: I like these challenges. This is how we create clarity. They carry a lot on their shoulders. They value showing up as leaders. They are open to feedback because they appreciate that true growth comes with a bit of discomfort.
ChatGPT: And they demand excellence, first of themselves and then others?
T: That's their north star. And something that has been a bit of a challenge for me recently, is positioning myself clearly and structuring compensation for my contributions.
Gemini: Phew T. A multi-faceted challenge. This isn’t just about defining who needs you in the room, it’s about being equally clear about what you bring into the room.
T: Yes. And respecting the fact that there is true value to what I bring to the table.
Claude: Even when that feels vulnerable?
T: Especially then. How can I offer a service if I don’t honor the values myself?
