  • How Do You Lead Like a Human in the era of AI?

    How Do You Lead Like a Human in the era of AI?
    Oct 1 2025
    What does it mean to lead like a human in the middle of digital disruption, AI, and constant change? In this episode of The Shift Show, Rachel Bourne sits down with executive coach and bestselling author Adam Weber (Lead Like a Human) to uncover why listening (not just leading) is today’s ultimate leadership superpower. Adam shares his journey from stressed-out founder to executive coach, highlighting practical ways leaders can stay centered, authentic, and calm under pressure. Together, we explore how emotional intelligence, presence, and intentionality help leaders cut through busyness, unlock innovation, and build trust. You’ll learn why hidden expectations derail teams, how to set the right tone in meetings, and why Gen Z + AI disruption are reshaping what leadership means. Key Takeaways: Centered Leaders Create Calm in Chaos Grounded routines (journaling, gratitude, intentional pauses) help leaders show up steady, even when disruption and pressure mount. Listening Unlocks Innovation The best solutions usually come from employees closest to the problems—leaders fail when they don’t create space to hear them. Clarity Beats Busyness Hidden expectations and undefined roles cause disengagement. Human-first leaders prioritize focus, clarity, and signal over noise. Human Presence Is the Edge in Digital Disruption In an era of AI, automation, and remote work, authentic presence and emotional intelligence are leadership skills technology can’t replace. Generational Shifts Demand Human-Centered Leadership Gen Z values flexibility, autonomy, and safety. Combined with AI-driven change, leaders must evolve toward trust, inclusion, and adaptability. About Adam: Adam Weber is an executive coach who helps leaders manage pressure, sift through competing inputs, and assert meaningful change while leading as their authentic selves.

  • How Do I Stand Out at Work? — Personal-Brand Tactics & AI Hacks with James Ellis

    How Do I Stand Out at Work? — Personal-Brand Tactics & AI Hacks with James Ellis
    Aug 5 2025
    Big Question: Why are equally qualified people getting hired (or promoted?) while you’re still waiting? Short Answer: They’ve turned their reputation into a brand—and James Ellis shows you how to do the same in under a week. Most of us can describe Apple or Nike in three words, but freeze when we have to do the same for ourselves. Employer-branding legend James Ellis joins Rachel to flip that script and show you how to borrow branding tools from leading companies to future-proof your career. 5 Big Takeaways: Brand = Promise. It’s the feeling you create before anyone meets you. Narrow beats broad. Be “famously useful” to 20 hiring managers, not anonymous to a thousand. Your resume is a commercial. Show the value you create, prove it once, then stop talking. AI is a power-up, not a cheat. Feed ChatGPT the JD + your resume to surface hidden gaps & angles. Every weakness hides a strength. Identify yours, rethink what strengths it provides, and lead with it. Listen and learn ⬇️ Timestamp Topic 00:02 Why personal branding just became a career survival skill 08:17 Mission, experience, reward—the 3 levers of any brand (including yours) 15:42 How to stand out when 1,000 “perfectly qualified” people apply 24:30 Resumes as commercials: the 3-bullet rule that gets callbacks 35:05 Using AI (yes, ChatGPT) to decode a job description & tailor your pitch 46:58 Turning “weaknesses” into career-edge strengths 55:40 James’ 3-step game plan to build a personal brand this week 59:40 Homework: pick 3 words you want people to use to describe you Meet the Guest James Ellis is the brains behind Employer Brand Labs, host of The Talent Cast podcast, and author of Talent Chooses You.
