Happy Holidays Friends! Of course, I wish I could share with you a real life video of Doc running through the snow, but the best you will get is him kicking up some sand on the beach. So I hope you…
As you reflect on your accomplishments in the last year and the skills you want to continue to hone, I suspect understanding Agentic AI, RAG, MCP are on the top of many data & AI leaders lists. But…

Writing style breakdown
Overall tone: professional, warm, and conversational, with a personal, human touch.
It blends business/technical authority (AI, data, enterprise value) with approachable, almost friendly social-media energy.
It is not academic-formal, but it is not slang-heavy casual either. Think: senior executive speaking candidly on LinkedIn.
Posts feel reflective and relational rather than purely promotional.
Mid-to-high professional register in subject matter (AI literacy, enterprise value, agents, data warehouses).
Linguistic register: conversational and relaxed.
Uses contractions: "doesn't", "I'm", "I'll".
Uses colloquial phrases: "fan girl moment", "super excited".
No dense jargon blocks; when technical terms appear (Agentic AI, RAG, MCP), they are dropped in without definition but surrounded by simple, readable language.
Generally positive, enthusiastic, and optimistic.
Excitement and pride about events and milestones ("It doesn't get any better than this:", "I'm super excited").
Warmth and gratitude ("I thank you as always for the privilege…", "Happy Holidays Friends!").
Curiosity and reflection ("Just ask me how that story has played out!", "I'm curious which one you consider the biggest gift?").
Energy is high but not frantic. The pacing and spacing give breathing room, which tempers the enthusiasm so it feels sincere.
But what about business value?
What about the WHY of AI?
Reference to 1996, being a first-time mom, launching a data warehouse.
Past vs present (1996 vs returning now).
Tech features vs business value ("But what about business value?").
I will of course have my fan girl moment…
my new favorite phrase is 'beautify that!'
Direct engagement with named people and companies (May Habib, Andrew Ng, Anand Iyer, Ecolab, ThoughtSpot).
Mix of first-person singular "I" and second-person "you".
I suspect..." / "I thank you..." / "I'm curious...
As you reflect on your accomplishments…" / "I wish I could share with you…
A peer professional or customer.
A community member ("Friends", "our committment to you as our customers").
As you reflect…" guides the reader without ordering.
I hope you will enjoy…" instead of "Watch this".
Questions are often used instead of commands to prompt reflection.
Mentions major milestones (world's first global data warehouse).
Speaks comfortably about boardrooms, business impact, enterprise AI.
Uses humor to defuse potential bragging (fan girl moment, holiday dog story).
Shares personal and maternal context, making the authority feel grounded and human.
Write as a seasoned, warm executive who is technically literate, reflective about the past, optimistic about AI, and deeply appreciative of customers and peers.
Use first person "I" freely, and speak directly to "you" without sounding salesy.
