We were talking about hiring.
Talent.
The usual.
A trusted client I’ve recruited for many years suddenly leaned back and said:
“I know you’re feeling it too… something’s shifting.”
He didn’t mean the headlines.
Or AI.
He meant people.
The way we work.
The way we live.
The way we travel.
The real revolution in business?
It’s not what you think.
“Yes,” he said, “AI is reshaping the game.”
I nodded. “Innovation is speeding up.”
“Automation is everywhere,” he added.
“Efficiency is the new obsession,” I said.
And then we both just… paused.
Because while the world keeps talking about tools and trends,
we both knew one quiet revolution is already rewriting the rules.
The Heart Revolution.
No LinkedIn announcement.
No press release.
But it’s shaking the ground beneath everything.
And if you’re honest, you’ve been feeling it for a while.
“The new human,” I said, “isn’t just upgrading their tech
they’re upgrading their values.”
He nodded.
“They’re not chasing more.
They’re craving meaning.”
“They want truth,” I added. “And connection. Energy that lifts.”
“No more five-star perfection,” he said.
“They want five-sense experiences that wake them up, and spark the sixth.”
“To feel. To see. To rise,” I said.
He looked at me.
“They want the real over the superficial.”
“Authenticity over fakeness,” I added.
“Purpose over illusion,” we said, almost at the same time.
“They don’t travel to escape anymore,” he said.
“They travel to remember.”
“To reconnect. To be moved,” I finished.
A human that travels not to flee, but to remember what it means to be me.
