Show UP, Stand OUT: How Leaders Build Visibility, Connection and Opportunity [LIVE EVENT]
You don't need to be the loudest voice in the room to build a powerful career. You just need to know what you bring, and make sure the right people can find you.This is a very special episode on the ARW Podcast. This is a recording from our recent Sisterhood Social event held in Melbourne, featuring an incredible panel of three amazing women who are leading the way in AI, tech, and people leadership.—✨ 90 Day Bold Move Career AcceleratorLearn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves—📚 The Bold Movehttps://www.theboldmovebook.com—Connect with Georgie:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/♦️ Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com—Connect withLou Compagnone - https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/Sarah Carney - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-carney-green/Tenille Humphreys - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tenille-humphreys/Pam Caldwell - https://www.linkedin.com/in/caldwell-pamela/—Sarah Carney is the head of artificial intelligence at AustralianSuper. Lou Compagnoni is the director of AI at Datacom. And Tenille Humphreys is the head of people and culture at Lybird Health.What you're about to hear is incredibly tactical. It is the exact steps that I am also coaching on inside my program. Be visible. Engage in your network. Know your value. Know your worth. Step into things before you feel ready because you're never going to feel ready.And Sarah said something that stayed with me. She said, if you're going for roles that don't scare you, you shouldn't be going for them in the first place.So this is a masterclass on how to set yourself up for the future. It's about visibility, networking, career strategy, AI, and what women need to do right now to stay relevant, visible, and in demand.This conversation is about how to navigate the AI era without panic. It's about why your experience isn't obsolete. It's about why networking doesn't have to feel transactional. It's about why posting on LinkedIn matters more than you think. And it's about why the women who are thriving right now aren't the most technical. They're the most visible, the most curious, and the most strategic.Sarah shares how she landed her role at Australian Super by bypassing the AI screening process entirely. She reached out to a human, jammed her foot in the door, and got the interview. Because if her CV had gone through the automated system, she believes it never would have made it through. And she's doing okay. She can spell AI. It's pretty good.Lou shares why she took an AI role even though she didn't come from a technical background. Why her boss thought she was perfect for the role precisely because she didn't have traditional tech credentials. And why she's learned to do things that scare her, from playing folk music in front of strangers to speaking on panels, because nothing builds confidence like doing the thing that terrifies you.Tenille shares what she's seeing from a talent perspective. Why your work won't just speak for itself anymore. Why women need to be more visible within their workplaces and connect with the right people. And why turning up to events, reaching out to people, and making connections outside of the application process is what actually gets you seen.

AI’s $60,000 Gender Gap: Why Women Need to Start Talking About Their Salaries
Women already earn less, save less, and retire with less. We're paid less for the same work. We take time out for caring responsibilities that go unvalued and unpaid. We're told we're not technical enough, not strategic enough, too risk averse. And now, AI is being trained on data that reflects all of that.In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie and Lou sit down with Angela Meyer, an award winning strategist, speaker, bestselling author, and co founder of High Money and Project Gender. Angela has spent years championing women's economic equality, and she's written a brilliant paper called Counted In: What AI Could Be Fixing About Women's Financial Lives and Why It Isn't.This conversation is about what happens when AI learns from a financial system that was built 250 years ago by men, for men. It's about why women are being given more conservative financial advice by AI, even when they ask the same questions as men. It's about the invisible work that women do every single day that has never been counted, never been valued, and is now being completely left out of the algorithms shaping our financial futures.Angela shares why she believes this is one of the most pivotal moments we've had to redesign the system. Why talking about money openly is one of the most powerful things women can do. And why AI literacy isn't just a nice to have anymore. It's a wealth building tool.She also unpacks the research from MIT and Stanford that found women using AI for financial advice ended up with $60,000 less wealth by age 60, largely because the AI assumed they were more risk averse. Not because they were. But because of the way they asked questions.This episode will make you think differently about the stories you've been told about money, the beliefs you've inherited, and the systems you're trying to navigate.—✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career AcceleratorLearn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves—📚 The Bold Movehttps://www.theboldmovebook.com—Connect with Georgie:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard♦️ Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com—Connect with Lou Compagnone:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/—Connect with Angela Meyer:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-meyer-378b321a/♦️ Website: https://www.angela-meyer.com📚 Money Money Money by Angela Meyer and Rachel Davies - https://himoney.co/📄 Counted In: What AI Could Be Fixing About Women's Financial Lives and Why It Isn't

Is Your Experience Still Valuable in the Age of AI? Here’s How to Take the Lead
If you read the headline that AI is going to take your job, well, it might. But only if you don't learn how to work with it, you don't become more visible, and you don't know your worth.The headlines are everywhere right now. AI will take your job. Agents are out of control. We're on the cusp of superintelligence. Or even worse, AI is going to destroy us all.And underneath all of that noise, there's a quieter, more insidious message: you're falling behind. You're not technical enough. You don't know enough. You're not doing enough.In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie and Lou sit down to talk about the language being used around AI right now and what it's actually doing to us.They call it FOE and FOMO. Fear of extinction and fear of missing out. Two narratives that sound like opposites but actually work the same way, creating urgency, panic and paralysis, and stopping us from asking the most important question of all: is this even a future we want?Because here's the thing. The women who are thriving in this moment aren't the ones spiralling over every headline. They're the ones asking better questions. They're the ones staying calm, staying curious, and staying visible. They're the ones adding AI to what they already know, rather than trying to become someone else entirely.This conversation is about how to move from AI fearful to AI ready. It's about protecting your headspace in a world designed to hijack your attention. It's about understanding who benefits when you believe the narrative. And it's about recognising that your years of experience, your wisdom, your leadership, none of that is obsolete. It just needs to be positioned correctly.Georgie and Lou also unpack the real opportunities that exist right now for women who are willing to lead, not just keep up. From building agents to running Lunch and Learns. From asking where you want to lead, not just how to keep up. From using fear as fuel to innovate, not as a reason to hide.—✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career AcceleratorLearn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves—📚 The Bold Movehttps://www.theboldmovebook.com—Connect with Georgie:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard♦️ Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com—Connect with Lou Compagnone:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/

Head of Behavioural Science at NAB Reveals the AI Productivity Trap Female Leaders Need to Avoid
AI is supposed to make us more productive.So why are so many of us using it all day… and finishing work feeling completely mentally fried?In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie Hubbard and Lou Compagnoni sit down with behavioural scientist Angela Bliss to explore what our increasing reliance on AI could be doing to the way we think, work and make decisions.Angela has spent years studying human behaviour and decision-making, including completing a Master’s in Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics, where her research explored how humans build trust with chatbots.And her message is one every ambitious woman using AI at work needs to hear:The goal isn’t to stop using AI. It’s to become much more deliberate about what you outsource to it.We unpack the emerging phenomenon of AI brain fry, the cognitive overload that can come from prompting, checking, comparing and managing multiple AI outputs at once, and why being able to produce more work doesn’t necessarily mean we’re doing better work.We also explore cognitive debt, automation bias, why AI can feel so addictive, and what happens when we start outsourcing judgment, creativity and independent thinking alongside the menial work.In this episode:What “AI brain fry” actually is and why knowledge workers are starting to feel itWhy using AI can sometimes increase cognitive load rather than reduce itThe hidden problem with AI producing work faster than humans can properly evaluate itWhy hyper-productivity could be changing expectations of employeesHow automation bias can cause us to trust AI outputs too easilyWhy AI feels so compelling — even when we know there may be a costWhat “cognitive debt” means and why it matters for your careerWhy creativity and your best thinking often happen away from the screenHow AI could change the way we make decisionsWhy organisations need to rethink productivity in an AI-enabled workplaceWhy women may be particularly vulnerable to the pressure to do even more with AIAngela’s advice is simple but powerful:Get AI to remove the menial work. Don’t hand over the skills that are building your expertise.Because being AI ready isn’t about using AI for everything.It’s knowing where AI can make you better — and where you still need to do the thinking.——✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career AcceleratorLearn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves— —Connect with Georgie:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard♦️ Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com— —Connect with Lou Compagnoni:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/— —Connect with Angela Bliss:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-bliss-behavioural-design/

Why Are Women Leaving Tech Just as AI Takes Off? With Adair Robins - Tech Council Australia
Women make up just 20% of Australia’s highly technical workforce. After age 40, that drops even further. So what is happening at the exact point when women’s experience should be becoming more valuable?In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie Hubbard and Lou Compagnone are joined by Adair Robins, former Head of Diversity and Transformation at the Tech Council of Australia, to unpack why women are leaving technical careers mid-career, what AI could mean for that trend, and why the next few years could also create a huge opportunity for women.Adair shares insights from the Women in Highly Technical Occupations research, including the finding that women leave highly technical roles at almost twice the rate of men during mid-career.We also talk about what happens when career progression collides with caring responsibilities, why flexibility and workplace culture still matter, and why women need to be part of the teams designing, leading and implementing AI.Plus, Adair shares the story behind Back in the Code, a full-day agentic engineering course designed for parents currently on or recently returned from parental leave.Resources mentionedBack in the Code — Melbourne, 24 Septemberhttps://events.techcouncil.com.au/agentic_ai_course_cohort2Back in the Code — Future Cohort Waitlisthttps://events.techcouncil.com.au/agentic_engineering_waitlist_formTech Careers Hotline Podcasthttps://techcouncil.com.au/tech-careers-hotline-podcast/Women in Highly Technical Work Reporthttps://techcouncil.com.au/research/✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career Acceleratorhttps://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves📚 The Bold Movehttps://www.theboldmovebook.comConnect with Georgie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbardWebsite: https://www.georgiehubbard.comConnect with Lou Compagnone:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/Connect with Adair Robins:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adair-robins/

Not Behind. Just Unseen: Why Only 1 in 5 AI Leaders Are Women, And the Skill That Gets You Noticed
You don't need to be technical to break into AI. You need to understand what makes you irreplaceable.___________Connect with Georgie:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard♦️ Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com___________✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator ✨Learn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves___________Connect with Lou Compagnone:🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/___________Only 1 in 5 AI leadership roles are held by women. Only 13% of women hold C-suite roles in AI, across 27 countries. We're still chasing our tail on the gender pay gap, still fighting for more women in leadership, and now AI is reshaping the entire workforce with women's voices dangerously underrepresented before the wave has even properly started.This episode is for every woman who's applied for AI roles and heard nothing back. For every woman who thinks she's too far behind, or not technical enough, or doesn't have the right experience. For every woman who's kept her head down doing excellent work and hoped that would be enough.It's not enough anymore. The old playbook doesn't work. The women who get chosen for AI roles aren't always the most technical. They're the ones who are visible, connected, and strategic. They understand AI is a people problem, not just a technology problem.Lou and Georgie catch up after a few weeks apart. Lou's just back from Stanford, where she completed the AI-Powered Organisation course. Georgie's back from the UK, where she noticed something striking: AI is everywhere. Her parents are using it. Her nan is using it. And her brother, a professional golfer with zero technical experience, built himself a website using Claude in three hours flat. He then built one for the new owners of his golf club too, made himself impossible to overlook, and he's now in discussions about a promotion.This conversation is about what happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and start positioning yourself for what's next. Why the most successful AI agent at Stanford wasn't built by the most technical person in the room. Why hurt people hurt people, and how Lou handles the trolling that comes with being a woman speaking publicly about AI. And the one mindset shift that changes everything. Don't try to become someone else. Add AI to what you already know.If you've been waiting for permission to start, this is it.If this episode gave you a takeaway, tell us about it on LinkedIn. The future belongs to the women who are ready for it. Let's make sure that's you.Georgie and Lou 💜

36 Free AI Certifications You Can Put on Your LinkedIn
AI certifications from Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Harvard and 20 other providers, 36 of them completely free, with a certificate you can put on your LinkedIn.Get the full list → https://www.georgiehubbard.com/ai-courses___________Georgie and Lou are taking a short break from AI Ready Women. Georgie's back in the UK with family and Lou is travelling for work, and they'll be back on the mic together again soon. Rather than go quiet, they've left you the library. Georgie sends to senior women who know they need to get current on AI and have no idea where to start.Don't start with 45. Start with three.Georgie's shortlist — about seven hours all in:1. Generative AI Explained (NVIDIA) — one hour, no code, free digital badge at the end. The fastest way to stop feeling behind.2. Career Essentials in Generative AI (Microsoft & LinkedIn) — three to four hours. This certificate posts straight to your LinkedIn profile, where recruiters are actually looking.3. AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations (Anthropic) — three hours. Built for women who lead teams rather than build things. How to make AI decisions, not how to write code.One honest note: 36 of the 45 are completely free with a certificate. The rest are free to study but charge for the certificate — they're marked on the page.Why this matters more than it sounds like it shouldThis isn't about becoming a data scientist.After 12 years inside recruitment, the pattern Georgie sees is this: the women who get approached for the roles that matter are not the most technical women in the room. They're the most legible ones, the women whose profile makes it obvious, in seconds, that they've kept up.A named certificate does that before anyone has read a single line of your experience.So pick one. Start it this week. Let confidence catch up.___________🎓 The AI course library — 45 certifications, 36 free👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/ai-courses___________✨ Bold Move Career Accelerator — eight weeks, small cohort, for senior women ready to make the move rather than read about it👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves___________📚 The Bold Move (the book) 👉 https://www.theboldmovebook.com___________One thing before you go.If this series has been useful, the single best thing you can do while we're away is send this episode to one woman who's been putting off getting to grips with AI. Not a list. One woman. You'll know who she is.Back soon, with some phenomenal guests lined up.Georgie 💜
