Career Confidence

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 Career Confidence 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.

AI cannot replicate relationships. And it's been my experience that projects will live or die, fail or succeed, on the basis of how strong the relationship is.

What’s the one thing every woman should do this week to start increasing her earning potential?

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 fo...

You can carry your career around as a kind of blur. A sense of having done a lot, but without ever seeing what it actually adds up to.

That's what Emma Buckland realised when she finally sat down and looked at her career cumulatively.

Years of work. Thousands of people helped. Millions of dollars in impact. But she'd never properly counted it before.

And that's the thing about visibility. It doesn't start with LinkedIn. It doesn't start with speaking at conferences. It starts with becoming visible to yourself first.

In this...

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...

Within minutes, an interview was locked in. Within weeks, she was in the third stage interview. And she landed the job.

That job was never advertised. It never hit a job board.

And it's exactly the case in point of how powerful your network is.

In this episode of the Career Confidence Podcast, Georgie sits down with Priscilla, a transformation and technology leader who's spent her career connecting people, process and technology in some of Australia's biggest retail and tech organisations.

After years at David Jones leading digital trannew way

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 huma...

What do you do when you know something needs to change in your career… but you have absolutely no idea what the next move should be?

That’s exactly where Rebecca found herself.

After more than 15 years across experience design, leadership, coaching, and transformation, she knew there were parts of her work she loved, problem-solving, facilitating, helping people make better decisions, but she wasn’t sure what that translated into as a career.

Then redundancy gave her the space to stop, reflect and rethink what came next.

In this episode of the Ca...

September is one of the most important hiring windows of the year. If you want to make a move before Christmas, this is the time to get strategic.

The market is still tight. Recruiters are flooded with applications. AI is increasingly being used to search, screen and shortlist candidates. So sending the same CV to every role and hoping for the best is no longer enough.

The job market is changing fast.

More people are applying. AI is increasingly being used to filter applications. New roles are emerging. And some incredibly capable women are finding themselves applying for opportunities they could absolutely do, but never even making it to interview.

After 12 years in recruitment, I can tell you this: I have never seen a job market quite like this one. And the women who get chosen aren't the ones waiting for things to settle. They're the ones reading the shift early and positioning themselves before the market does it for them.

You don't need to be technical to break into AI. But you do need to understand what makes you irreplaceable.

This episode is for every woman who's been applying for AI roles and hearing crickets. For every woman who thinks she's too far behind, or not technical enough, or doesn't have the right experience.

Georgie and Lou sit down with Erin Ashton, AI Enablement Lead at EY, whose background is organisational psychology, not code. Erin has spent her career solving messy people problems. And it turns out that's exactly what AI needs right now.

Two weeks. That's how long it took Jodie Coomer to go from redundancy to landing her next role. And it wasn't luck. It was visibility.

Jodie spent 12 years climbing the ladder the traditional way. Junior business analyst. Project manager. Portfolio manager. Head of delivery. Linear. Logical. Safe. Except safe doesn't exist anymore. And Jodie knows that now.

When the redundancy conversation came, she wasn't completely surprised. But that didn't make it easier. Five days of shock. Tears. Imposter syndrome. The feeling that she'd been dumped. And then something shifted. She remembered the work she'd already...

Sometimes the most dangerous thing about AI isn't what it can do. It's who gets to decide when to turn it off.

Anthropic built the most powerful version of its AI model yet, released it to the public, and then three days later, the US government ordered them to shut it down. Worldwide. For everyone.

But here's the twist: the security loop that triggered the shutdown wasn't found by a malicious hacker in a hoodie. It centred around an elegant shift in framing, pointed out by cybersecurity pioneer Katie Moussouri, proving that a simple change...

No fluff. No filters. Just real, raw, honest conversations about what it actually takes to stay relevant, confident, and in demand in a world that's changing faster than ever before.

Pope Leo XIV just release...

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. And it's about what happens when your body starts sending you signals that something isn't right, even when everything on paper looks like...

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 bias. And it's about governance, not as a handbrake, but as the thing that lets us move faster, safely.

In this episode of AI...

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 clearly enough, or am I the last to know that something shifted?

After 12 years inside my recruitment business, I can tell you this: the women...

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 human dignity. And when Pope Leo XIV presented the document, he did it standing beside a co-founder of the AI company Anthropic. What an unexpected twist.

So what does this actually mean for...

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 use inside the Bold Move Career Accelerator to help senior women build a positioning story that makes them undeniable.

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 episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie Hubbard and Lou Compagnoni sit down with Angelica Veness, the CTO who openly says she can't code, and built her career through human-centred design instead...

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 and AI.

One of them has never had a set career plan. One spent 26 years at Telstra before becoming a CEO. One is driving AI adoption across 10,000 people. And all three...

AI is changing every career, and the CEO of Microsoft just told us something that should change how you think about yours. Plus what the CEO of 7-Eleven, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and the Head of AI at EY are really saying about the future of work, AI for women, and staying relevant in the age of AI

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 episode, I'm showing you the 4 signals that actually determine whether you show up in recruiter searches, and what to do when you don't.

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 sharing exactly what I'm seeing inside my recruitment business right now, and the 5 strategies that will actually move the needle in 2026.

🟣 Want to Wor...

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, highest-paid roles that are being created right now. And if you're waiting for permission, clarity, or the perfect moment to start, you're already falling behind.

Welcome back...

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 nobody's telling you: it's not that AI is replacing humans, it's that professionals who refuse to adapt are being left behind.

Welcome back...

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, and I've seen time and time again how incredibly capable women quietly hold themselves back. Not because they lack talent, but because of habits that feel responsible but end...

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 of Artificial Intelligence at Datacom, to talk about the signals you need to be paying attention to, what's happening in AI...

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 outdated strategies, you will get left behind.

But here's the truth: AI doesn't have to take your job. Not if you start positioning...

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 they need a new role to start building leverage? They're the ones who are going to be left behind.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the five most common career...

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 you don't have a clear framework for navigating this shift, you'll spend the next decade reacting instead of directing your career.

In this episode, I'm breaking...
