AI Ready Women

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.

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...

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...

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...

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 wome...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

In this episode, Georgie and Lou debrief two major events: Lou's experience at the Microsoft AI Tour, where Satya Nadella delivered a keynote on the future of agentic AI, and Georgie's 10th Sisterhood Social featuring Fiona Hayes (CEO...

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 she thinks about work entirely.

In this episode, Rachel joins Georgie and Lou to talk about AI Brain Fry, the cognitive burnout that's quietly hitting the highest AI...

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 Hubbard and Lou Compagnone sit down with tech pioneer and futurist Melissa Clark-Reynolds, who's been working in AI since the 1980s, to discuss the invisible crisis unfolding right now for women in the workforce.

AI is already deciding who gets...

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.<...

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.

...

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...

Everyone’s talking about AI. But most of the conversation is either hype or fear - and neither is helpful when you’re trying to work out what it means for your career, your team, or the next move you should make.

Hosted by Lou Compagnone (AI transformation leader and futurist) and Georgie Hubbard (Career Confidence expert & author of The Bold Move), this podcast explores the future of AI for women, the workforce, and the world.

Each episode, Lou breaks down what’s happening in AI right now, while Georgie explores the im...
