I use Microsoft Co-Pilot everyday and that use made me think about what an airline copilot actually does.
They sit beside the captain because flying safely — truly safely — requires more than one perspective. They watch instruments the captain isn’t watching. They ask questions the captain hasn’t thought to ask. And when something’s off, they say so. This is how systems that are caring for people’s lives as they fly through the air to their destination, should work.
I’ve built my own version of this — a Human CoPilot Community. People who walk alongside me, watch my trajectory, and tell me what they see.
One of those people is Michiel Sujeet Reith✨.
Michiel gives me clear and actionable feedback — wrapped in genuine care. He spots things I’m too close to see, and delivers them in a way that adds energy to the conversation instead of draining it. You can feel that his investment in your success is real.
That’s the kind of copilot every leader needs.
