It’s harder than ever to cut through in the workplace – whether you’re job hunting, leading a team, or simply trying to keep up with AI. In this AMA episode, I answer your questions on how to thrive in today’s world of work.
In this episode, I share:
- How to differentiate yourself in a crowded job market where AI is levelling CVs and cover letters.
- What really makes a high performing team today – from psychological safety to energy management.
- How to define and develop critical thinking skills in the age of AI.
- My best tips for stepping into leadership for the first time – from running one-on-ones to avoiding the trap of giving too much advice.

For more on this, check out my AI slop episode – where I unpack why flooding the world with AI-generated content isn’t the same as creating something meaningful. (Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts)
And if the critical thinking bit struck a chord, my chat with futurist Bob Johansen is a great follow-up. He shares how to see AI as augmented intelligence – you plus AI, not you versus AI. Tune in here.
