Your sweet social status shift
With your AI transformation, others perceive you differently in your professional network.
I experienced many changes in the software development field as I have been working in the software industry for more than 20 years, but AI is different. It’s not just another change. It’s a revolution.
It extends your abilities without any doubt. It’s like hiring a knowledgeable partner with almost no cost that gets better daily.

Imagine you are a Product Owner. What happens when you invest in learning how to professionally use AI in product management?
Obviously, your social status is upgraded, and people in your professional network perceive you differently. For example:
Your Fellow Product Owners say inside:
“This person is a go-to reference. When I have a question about AI, I can get help from them.”
Developers say:
“Working with this person makes my life easier. I see a new level of product management. Amazing!”
Managers and Stakeholders say:
“This person saves us money and time. They actually understand AI, not just buzzwords.”
Or even Recruiters say:
“This is a great candidate who has the skills that the job market is looking for now.”

It's possible that we don't consciously think of these perceptions. But how others perceive and see us is one of the strongest motivations for people to do things to create a better image of themselves in the eyes of others. This is called social status.
Imagine the time that you share your new certificate on LinkedIn and get a lot of positive reactions from your friends and colleagues. What a sweet feeling, isn’t it?
You can't ignore it. Perception is real. You don't live in a vacuum, but you live in your social network, and you receive new opportunities from your network, which is directly dependent on the quality of the image of you in the eyes of others.
