The work of being in the age of AI

I work on what it means to stay human while work becomes increasingly automated: judgment, clarity, courage, and craft in a world where machines can do most of the "job."

I'm Paul Welty. Philosopher by training, operator by practice. I've spent two decades inside organizations: Fortune 500 consulting with companies like Disney, Delta, and The Home Depot. Building systems that changed how institutions work. At Emory University, I founded The Hatchery (the student innovation center that's launched 52 companies), created Facet (the faculty data system), and co-founded the Center for AI Learning.

Along the way, I discovered that the most meaningful work wasn't technical or strategic. It was helping people rethink how they relate to their work, and to themselves.

Now I'm building on that shift: writing, speaking, advising, and creating tools that help people move from simply doing the job to doing the work of being.
