Are we outsourcing our thinking to AI, and what does that mean for leadership, decision-making and HR?

What happens when HR stops telling people what to think, and starts helping them think for themselves? In this episode, I speak with critical thinking expert Bethan Winn about reclaiming our “human edge” in a tech-saturated world.

We discuss cognitive sovereignty, decision confidence, and why soft skills are anything but soft. Bethan shares practical ways leaders can strengthen strategic thinking and create space for better decisions, even in fast-paced, reactive workplaces.

If you’re wrestling with how to stay human in a high-tech workplace, this one’s for you. You’ll walk away with fresh insight into how we lead, relate, and choose. Plus the tools to help your team do the same.

Is your reward system really reflecting what you value most, or just what’s easiest to measure?

As the year wraps, I sat down with Warren Land, Director of the Reward Practice and one of Australia's leading experts in remuneration and incentive design, to talk about what rewards are really saying in our workplaces. This conversation goes beyond the bonus to look at fairness, transparency, and the power dynamics hiding in our pay structures.

You’ll hear what’s changing in total rewards, what leaders often get wrong about incentives, and how to spot when your pay practices are sending the wrong message. If you’ve ever struggled with making reward systems more human, more honest, and more useful, this one’s for you.

What are you really rewarding in your organisation right now? And what story is your reward system telling? Let’s talk about it, connect with me on LinkedIn

What does fairness look like when AI is making the decisions?

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we hire, develop, and lead, but who benefits when we rush to automate? In this episode, I speak with Aubrey Blanche, Director of Ethical Advisory and Strategic Partnerships at The Ethics Centre, about why AI isn’t just a tech issue, it’s a human one.

We explore the messy middle of ethical leadership, the overlooked risks in how HR teams use AI, and how to ask better questions before adopting shiny tools. Aubrey brings years of experience from Atlassian and Culture Amp to help us rethink what fairness really means in the age of automation.

If you want to future-proof your HR practices and lead with intention instead of hype, this episode is your prompt to pause, reflect and redesign. Because every system has a heartbeat, and it better still be human.

What questions are you asking before using AI in your people practices? What would fairness look like if you designed it today? Let’s keep this conversation going, connect with me on LinkedIn
