S7 Ep1: Leading Through Change – Thriving in the AI & Automation Era
Welcome to Season 7 of Your Path to Career Success! In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest workplace shifts of our time—how AI and automation are transforming industries, redefining leadership, and reshaping career paths.
AI isn’t just a futuristic concept—it’s here, actively influencing decision-making, streamlining operations, and changing the way teams function. For leaders, this presents both challenges and opportunities. How do you balance automation with human intelligence? How do you guide your team through uncertainty and help them see AI as an enabler, not a threat?
We’ll explore real-world examples of how organisations like Microsoft and Unilever are leveraging AI while still prioritising human expertise. Plus, I’ll share six key strategies to help you stay relevant, lead with confidence, and future-proof your career in an AI-driven world.
The future of leadership isn’t about resisting AI—it’s about learning how to work alongside it. So grab a notebook (or just sit back and listen) as we break down what it takes to thrive in this new era.
