Sometimes the most important conversations about AI aren't happening in boardrooms or on conference stages. They're happening in data labelling sweatshops, in schools, and in the quiet moments when we ask ourselves: what are we actually building ____________ ✨ 60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator ✨ Learn more here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves ____________ 📚 The Bold Move: https:/...

Sometimes the boldest move is the one you don't announce. The one you make for yourself, not for the algorithm. Eight weeks ago, I left Melbourne. I moved to Queensland. I bought a house. I didn't post about it. I didn't share it on social media. I just did it. And it was one of the hardest, most clarifying decisions I've made in years. This episode is different. It's personal. It's unfiltered. An...

The question we all need to ask all the time is: who's missing? Whose voice is not currently represented? AI is reshaping the world. And while the headlines swing between hype and fear, most women are asking just one question: What does this mean for me? This episode is about what happens when AI makes decisions about people's lives and nobody can explain why. It's about accountability. It's about...

Is AI actually a threat to your career — or are you just not reading your market clearly? Here's the 4-question SCAN framework I use with senior women to find out. ⤵️ Most women think the AI threat is whether your job will get automated. But for senior women, women who have spent 15 to 20 years building real experience, that could be the wrong question. A better question: Am I reading my market cl...

The Pope just signed his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, and it's about AI. His warning to the world: protect the human person before artificial intelligence erodes our work, our relationships, and our agency While tech companies race to build agents and automate everything, the Vatican did something unexpected. It created a commission on AI, not to celebrate the technology, but to protect...

Most capable women aren't being passed over because they lack experience. They're being passed over because they can't articulate the problems they solve. After 12 years sitting on the other side of the hiring table, I'll tell you the truth: the women who get chosen aren't always the most experienced. They're the ones with the clearest story. In this episode, I break down the 6-step framework I us...

Pink-collar jobs, admin, customer service, reception, teaching, and nursing are overwhelmingly held by women. They're also the roles most exposed to AI disruption right now. And the data shows women are using AI less than men. That's the leapfrog risk. And IBM's Chief Technology Officer for Australia and New Zealand wants every woman listening to understand it before the gap gets bigger. In this e...

There are career lessons that change everything. And most women don't learn them until it's too late. You've worked hard. You've stayed loyal. You've done everything right. But somewhere along the way, the rules changed. And nobody told you. This episode is the live recording from Fearless & Future Ready, our Sisterhood Social event featuring three of Australia's most influential women in business...

The people struggling at Shopify weren't behind on the tools. They had lost the ability to think clearly. We're doing more than ever before. But there's a cost. And women are paying it first. Rachel Garrett spent seven years inside Shopify's AI transformation leading 800 people across 12 countries through one of the most aggressive AI adoptions any company has ever run. What she found changed how...

Most ambitious women haven't touched their LinkedIn profile in years — and then wonder why opportunities aren't coming their way. They think they need to post more, apply more, hustle harder. But that's not the problem. After 12 years in recruitment, reviewing thousands of profiles, I can tell you: recruiters can't find you. And when they do, your profile is telling them the wrong story. In this e...

If you're not positioned correctly on LinkedIn, no good about section, no optimised title, you will not come up. And that means you do not exist in the job market. The way we're discovered has changed overnight. And most women haven't been told. In this episode, Georgie and Lou Compagnone sit down with tech pioneer and futurist Melissa Clark-Reynolds, who's been working in AI since the 1980s, to d...

You've worked hard. You've stayed loyal. You've done everything right. So why does your career feel less certain than ever? The job market has changed faster than most professionals have realised. AI is reshaping how companies hire, who they keep, and what they value. And the old rules, work hard, wait to be noticed, trust that loyalty pays off, are quietly working against you. In this video, I'm...

AI salaries are 56% higher than the average. The demand is real. The opportunity is now. But women are being left behind. While companies are scrambling to hire AI talent and paying premium salaries, only 22% of AI roles are held by women. And the gap is widening. Here's what nobody's telling you: this isn't just about learning a tool. It's about positioning yourself for the most in-demand, highes...

You can't just rely on your organisation anymore. You can't just be loyal to one business. You have to take control of your career now. 1,600 people at Atlassian. 4,000 at Block. 2,000 at WiseTech. And that's just what made the headlines. The layoffs are happening. The headlines are terrifying. And if you're in the middle of your career right now, you might be wondering: Am I next? But here's what...

You've got the experience. You've got the skills. You've put in the years. But here's the uncomfortable truth: if you're not actively positioning yourself for the future, you're quietly becoming invisible. If you're a mid to senior career woman with 15+ years of experience, there's a high chance you're playing smaller than you think. And I say that with love. I've spent 12 years in recruitment, an...

Only 22% of AI roles are held by women. Only 18% of AI researchers are women. Only 14% of senior executive roles in AI are held by women. If women aren't in the room, we're not shaping the future. And if we're not part of the conversation now, we're going to be left behind. Again. This is the first episode of a brand new series called AI Ready Women, where I sit down with Lou Compagnone, Director...

40% of Block's workforce. Gone. Just like that. This isn't a headline from the future. This happened this week. And the reason? AI. In the same week, Wise Tech Global laid off 2000 staff, and if you think this is isolated, you're not paying attention. This is the signal. This is the wake-up call. And if you're still playing by the old rules, sending generic CVs, waiting to be chosen, relying on ou...

You've got the experience. You've got the skills. You've put in the years. But here's the uncomfortable truth: if you're not actively positioning yourself for the future, you're quietly becoming invisible. The world of work is changing faster than most professionals realise. AI is reshaping every industry. Jobs are being filled through networks, not job boards. And the women who are waiting until...

Careers are no longer ladders. They're chessboards. And if you're still playing by the old rules, work hard, keep your head down, wait to be chosen, you will fall behind, become invisible, and lose control. The rules of work have changed. AI is reshaping every industry. Job security is no longer about tenure or experience. It's about positioning, visibility, and strategic career control. And if yo...

AI is replacing jobs. The headlines are terrifying. And if you're in the middle of your career right now, you might be wondering: Am I next? Amazon just laid off 16,000 people. Tech companies are slashing roles left and right. Job descriptions are changing every two weeks. And the one phrase you keep hearing over and over again is: AI. But here's what nobody's telling you: it's not that AI is repl...

You mapped your time. You identified your skills. You built your support system. But here's what nobody tells you: the moment you commit to change, everything inside you will fight to pull you back. The doubt will get louder. The fear will feel heavier. And on the hardest days, it's going to be so easy to quit. To retreat back into the comfort of who you used to be. To fall back into the old habit...

You mapped your time. You identified your skills. You committed to the identity shift. But you can't make bold moves alone. You were never meant to. Success isn't just about what you know or what you do. It's about who's in your corner when doubt gets loud. It's about who lifts you up when you're questioning everything. It's about who reminds you of your worth when you've forgotten it yourself. We...

You mapped your time. You protected your glass balls. You committed to the habits that matter. But here's the shift that changes everything: you are not your job title. You never were. The future of work isn't about what you're called. It's about what you can do. And if you're still tying your identity to a title on LinkedIn or a role that could disappear tomorrow, you're building your confidence...
