NEXT BEST MOVE Needs TWO AIs | Manjunath MS Rao | TEDxKharadi
Description: We live in a world where AI can analyze opportunities, predict trends, and generate endless career options. Yet many people remain confused because clarity doesn't come from information alone—it comes from self-awareness. Artificial Intelligence helps us explore the external world of possibilities, while Awareness Intelligence helps us understand our values, strengths, energy, and purpose. When these two forms of intelligence work together, career decisions become more aligned, meaningful, and sustainable. The result is not just a better job choice, but a clearer path toward your IKIGAI—where talent, passion, purpose, and opportunity converge. Manjunath MS Rao is a Career Design Mentor who helps people make their next best move with clarity and confidence. With 23+ years of experience across technology, leadership, transformation, and human development, he has guided thousands through pivotal career and life transitions. He began his journey as a Systems Engineer and later made an unconventional shift into the science of human potential, earning an MSc in Psychology and becoming an ICF-certified Career Coach. Having mentored over 9,000 professionals and students and worked with global organizations including Siemens, Cisco, Infosys, Samsung etc., he now works at the intersection of technology and human awareness. At TEDx, he explores how the powerful combination of Artificial Intelligence and Awareness Intelligence can help individuals cut through uncertainty and make their Next Best Move Made Clear. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Close description
