Career Confidence

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 on shaky ground. Welcome to Week 3 of The Bold Move Challenge, where we're reframing everything you thought you knew about your worth, and teaching you to see yourself the way companies already do: as a set of skills, not a title. ____________ ✨Order The Bold Move✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What You'll Discover in Week 3: 🟣 The Identity Trap: Why tying your worth to your job title is keeping you stuck—and how to break free from that restrictive mindset. 🟣 You Are a Set of Skills: Companies don't hire titles anymore. They hire problem-solvers, communicators, leaders, and thinkers. I show you exactly how to identify and articulate your unique skill set. 🟣 The Skills Audit: What are you actually great at? What do people come to you for? What makes you you? This week's exercise will help you map out every skill and strength you've accumulated—and it's a massive confidence boost. 🟣 Human Skills Are Your Superpower: AI can do the technical grunt work. But it can't replicate empathy, creativity, conflict resolution, or your unique perspective. These are the skills that will future-proof your career. 🟣 Beyond the Job Title: Whether you're a lawyer, teacher, recruiter, or software engineer, you're so much more than that. I walk you through how to reframe your identity and see yourself as a portfolio of strengths. 🟣 Outcomes Over Titles: It's not about what you're called. It's about what you've delivered. Have you shipped projects ahead of time? Calmed difficult customers? Led teams through change? These are the stories that matter. 🟣 Introducing Pivotr: Want to see where your skills could take you next? I've built a tool that maps your strengths to new career opportunities—and it's designed to give you clarity, confidence, and options. 🟣 Monetise Your Skills: If you've ever thought about a side hustle, a new business, or a career pivot—this is where it starts. You can't monetise what you don't understand. So let's get crystal clear on your value. ____________ Your Week 3 Challenge: ✨ Write down your skills and strengths: What are you great at? What do people come to you for? What makes you unique? Write as many as you can—technical, human, tangible, intangible. All of it counts. ✨ Map your outcomes: What have you delivered? What impact have you made? What results have you achieved? These are the stories that prove your value. ✨ Explore your options: Visit Pivotr and input your skills. See where they could take you next. Whether it's a new role, a side hustle, or a complete pivot—this tool will show you what's possible. ✨ Keep adding to your list: As you go through the week, keep adding skills and strengths. The more you write, the more you'll realise just how much value you bring. ✨ Share your strengths: Comment below, message me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and tell me: What are two skills or strengths you're proud of? Let's celebrate what makes you unique. ____________ Join the Movement: If you're committing to this week's challenge, I want to hear from you. Use the hashtag #BoldMoveChallenge and share your skills, your strengths, and your confidence wins. Because the more you own your value, the more unstoppable you become. Week 4 is coming next, and we're diving into your support systems—the people who lift you up, challenge you, and help you grow. But for now, focus on you. Focus on your skills. Focus on your strengths. Because you are not just a job title. You are so much more than that. Georgie 💜

You wrote your Stop Doing List. You identified the bold version of you. You committed to the identity shift. But here's the truth: intentions don't create change. Scheduling does. You can have the clearest vision in the world, but if you don't protect your time and energy like your career depends on it—nothing shifts. You stay stuck in the same cycle: overwhelmed, overworked, and still not making progress on the things that actually matter. Welcome to Week 2 of The Bold Move Challenge, where we're getting brutally honest about where your time is really going—and how to take it back. ____________ ✨Order The Bold Move✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What You'll Discover in Week 2: 🟣 The Three Balls Framework: Glass balls, bouncy balls, and concrete balls. I break down exactly which parts of your life deserve your energy—and which ones are quietly draining you dry. 🟣 Glass Balls: These are the non-negotiables. Family. Career growth. Health. Personal development. If you drop these, they crack. And eventually, they shatter. It's time to stop treating them like optional extras. 🟣 Bouncy Balls: The emails. The WhatsApp groups. The laundry. The endless to-do list that never actually moves your life forward. These balls bounce back up. So why are you spending so much time juggling them? 🟣 Concrete Balls: The obligations that weigh you down. The people who drain your energy. The commitments that bring you zero joy. These need to go. Completely. 🟣 What Doesn't Get Scheduled Doesn't Get Done: Your calendar is your boss. If those things on your Start Doing List aren't in your diary, they won't happen. Period. I walk you through exactly how to schedule your glass balls first—and protect them fiercely. 🟣 Energy Management Over Time Management: We all have 24 hours. But we don't all have the same energy. I show you how to stop wasting your best energy on bouncy balls and start investing it in what actually matters. 🟣 The 60-Day Habit Rule: It takes 60 days to build a new habit. Not 21. Not 30. Sixty. So if you want that morning meditation, that gym session, that upskilling time to stick—you need to commit for the next two months. 🟣 Find the Cracks in Your Day: You don't need to add more hours to your day. You just need to use the ones you already have more intentionally. Commute time. Lunch breaks. The 10 minutes before bed. I share exactly how to plug these gaps with growth. 🟣 You're Not Selfish for Prioritising Yourself: You're strategic. You can be grateful and still hungry. You can love your life and still want more. This is the balance we're mastering together. ____________ Why This Week Matters: Last week, you identified who you need to become. This week, you're making space for her to show up. Because the bold version of you doesn't squeeze self-care into the leftover minutes of her day. She doesn't wait until everything else is done to focus on her growth. She schedules her glass balls first—and everything else fits around them. This is about designing your life, not just surviving it. This is about protecting your energy like it's your most valuable asset—because it is. ____________ Your Week 2 Challenge: ✨ Identify your three balls: Write down your glass balls, bouncy balls, and concrete balls. Get honest about where your time is really going. ✨ Open your calendar: Schedule in your Start Doing List. Every single thing. If it's not in your diary, it won't happen. ✨ Commit for 60 days: Pick one habit from your Start Doing List and commit to it for the next two months. No excuses. No negotiations. ✨ Ask for help: What can you outsource? What can you delegate? Where can you create more space in your life? Don't be afraid to ask. ✨ Protect your glass balls: These are your non-negotiables. Schedule them first. Protect them fiercely. Everything else fits around them. ____________ Join the Movement: If you're committing to this week's challenge, I want to hear from you. Drop a comment below, send me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and tell me: What's one glass ball you're protecting this week? And what's one bouncy ball you're letting go? Use the hashtag #BoldMoveChallenge and let's make 2026 the year we stop juggling everything—and start prioritising what actually matters. Week 3 is coming next, and we're diving into confidence. The real kind. The kind that comes from seeing yourself as a set of skills, not just a job title. Let's go. Georgie 💜

Goals are great. But if you're still writing the same New Year's resolutions you've written for the last five years, let's be honest—they're not working. This isn't about motivation. It's not about working harder or adding more to your already overflowing plate. This is about something far more powerful: identity shift. Because the truth is, you will never achieve your goals if you don't become the person who's capable of achieving them first. Welcome to Week 1 of The Bold Move Challenge—a four-week journey where I'm taking you through the exact formula I use every single year to set myself up for success. And I'm not talking about surface-level goal-setting. I'm talking about getting crystal clear on who you need to stop being and who you need to start becoming if you want 2026 to be your biggest, boldest year yet. ____________ ✨Order The Bold Move✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What You'll Discover in Week 1: 🟣 The Stop Doing List: Before you add one more thing to your life, you need to let go. I walk you through exactly how to identify what's holding you back—the habits, the thoughts, the patterns that no longer serve the person you're becoming. 🟣 The Start Doing List: Once you've cleared the clutter, it's time to get intentional. What does the bold, brave, best version of you actually do every single day? How does she start her morning? How does she show up? What energy does she bring into the room? 🟣 The Identity Shift: This is where the magic happens. You can have all the motivation in the world, but if you don't shift your identity—if you don't change who you believe you are—nothing changes. I'm showing you exactly how to step into the version of you that makes your goals inevitable. 🟣 Why Dopamine Loops Are Killing Your Progress: I'm getting brutally honest about my own struggles with phone addiction, social media checking, and tying my worth to metrics I can't control. If you've ever felt trapped in the refresh cycle, this will hit home. 🟣 How to Feel Your Way to Success: It's not just about what you do or who you become—it's about how you want to feel every single day. When you lead with energy and emotion, motivation follows. ____________ Why This Challenge Is Different: Most goal-setting exercises ask you to dream bigger. This challenge asks you to become different. Because the version of you that got you here won't get you there. And if you keep trying to change your life without changing yourself, you'll stay stuck in the same cycle—same habits, same results, same frustration. This is about breaking that cycle. This is about stepping into a new identity with new beliefs, new habits, and new energy. This is about making 2026 the year everything shifts—not because you worked harder, but because you became her. ____________ Your Week 1 Challenge: ✨ Write your Stop Doing List: What habits, thoughts, and patterns are you leaving behind? What no longer belongs in your future? ✨ Write your Start Doing List: What does the bold version of you do every single day? Get specific. Get intentional. ✨ Create your new identity: Who is she? How does she walk, talk, and show up? What does her morning look like? What energy does she bring? ✨ Write a letter to your future self: Seal it up and open it at the end of the challenge (or the end of the year). Tell her who you're becoming and how you want to feel. ____________ Join the Movement: If you're in for the challenge, I want to hear from you. Drop a comment below, send me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and tell me: What's one thing you're going to stop doing? And what's one thing you're going to start? Use the hashtag #BoldMoveChallenge and let's make 2026 our best year yet—together. This is just the beginning. Week 2 is coming, and we're going deeper. Let's go. Georgie 💜

Before we rush into 2026, let's pause. Just for a moment. This week isn't about hustle. It's not about goal-setting or productivity hacks or forcing yourself into a new year with old energy. It's about rest. It's about gratitude. It's about giving yourself permission to slow down and breathe. In this short but intentional episode, I'm inviting you to do something radical: nothing. Well, almost nothing. Just rest, recharge, and get ready—because next week, we're doing something I've never done before. ____________ ✨Order The Bold Move✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What's Coming: The Bold Move Challenge Starting next week, I'm launching something brand new: The Bold Move Challenge. This isn't your typical goal-setting exercise. This is the exact formula I use to set myself up for success every single year—and I've never shared it publicly before. We're going to get crystal clear on what you want, why you want it, and how you're going to make it happen. We're going to set intentions that actually stick. We're going to make 2026 the biggest, boldest, best year yet. And I'm taking you with me, step by step. ____________ How to Prepare: If you've already grabbed a copy of The Bold Move, this is the perfect week to read it (or at least flick through it). The challenge will be deeply connected to the themes in the book, so familiarizing yourself with the content will set you up for success. If you don't have the book yet, don't stress—you can still participate. But having it will definitely help. It's available in bookshops across Australia, on Kindle, and as an audiobook. ____________ Why Rest Matters: Every time I've rushed into a new year without taking a proper break, I've started in the wrong energy. Frantic. Forcing. Disconnected. And that's not the vibe we're bringing into 2026. So this week, I want you to breathe. Lean into the festive season. Feel the gratitude. Reset. Refresh. Recharge. Because next week, we're going all in. ____________ Join Me: If you're in for the challenge, let me know! Send me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or drop a comment below saying "I'm in." Use the hashtag #BoldMove and let's make 2026 our best year yet—together. Have a beautiful, restful week. You deserve it. Georgie 💜

Before we rush headfirst into 2026, let's pause. Just for a moment. This has been a year. A big, messy, emotional, transformative year. And if you're feeling like 2025 tested you in ways you didn't expect—you're not alone. Every woman I've spoken to in recent weeks has said the same thing: this year hit different. In this short but heartfelt episode, I'm taking a moment to slow down, reflect, and express my deepest gratitude for you. For showing up. For listening. For being part of this community. For supporting The Bold Move book. For trusting me with your time every single week. ____________ ✨Order The Bold Move✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What's Coming Next: I'm also giving you a sneak peek into what's ahead. Over the next few weeks, I'll be putting together a reset challenge—something I'm doing for myself, and I want you to join me. It's about starting 2026 with intention, clarity, and energy. More details coming in next week's episode. ____________ A Message Just for You: If you've grabbed a copy of The Bold Move and you're reading it over the break, I'd love to hear from you. Shoot me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or email me directly. Tell me what's resonating. Tell me what you're taking away. I read every single message. Thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting me with your time, your career, and your growth. I'm so grateful for this community, and I can't wait to show you what we have planned for 2026. Have a beautiful, restful, joyful Christmas. You deserve it. Georgie 💜

Women are leaving tech in droves. And according to gender equity expert Emma Jones, this couldn't be happening at a worse time. We're standing at the edge of the AI revolution, the biggest workplace transformation in history, and women are walking away from the very sector that will define the next decade of work. Not because they can't do the job. Not because they lack the skills. But because the system was never designed for them in the first place. In this raw and urgent conversation, I sit down with Emma Jones, founder of Project F and creator of T-EDI Standards (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Standards for the Technology Sector). Emma has spent over 25 years in technology talent acquisition, working across the UK, US, and Australia, and she's seen firsthand how systemic bias quietly pushes women out of the industry, no matter how talented, driven, or passionate they are. ____________ ✨The Bold Move: Build Confidence & Re-Invent Your Career in the Age of AI✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Georgie: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ Connect with Emma: 🔵 LinkedIn: Find Emma Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/msjonesinsydney/ ♦️Project F: https://www.projectf.com.au/ 🟣 T-EDI Standards: https://www.tedistandards.com/ ____________ In today’s episode: 🟣 The 1967 Study That Changed Everything: How one flawed research report created the "nerdy guy" stereotype and locked women out of tech for decades. 🟣 It's Not a Pipeline Problem—It's a Drop-Off Crisis: Why women aren't failing to enter tech; they're leaving mid-career because workplaces aren't designed for them to thrive. 🟣 The First Female Engineer Story: Emma shares the heartbreaking moment a talented woman thought she was only hired because she was female—and what that revealed about systemic barriers. 🟣 AI is the Reset We've Been Waiting For: Why women's hesitation around AI isn't weakness—it's wisdom.

Most people think they have until 2030 to figure out AI. According to AI expert Kara Bombell, you might already be too late. The corporate game is over. Job security is dead. And if you're still clinging to your role title instead of building your skill set, you're at serious risk. The era of "work hard, keep your head down, and get promoted" has been replaced by something far more volatile—and far more opportunity-rich for those who act now. In this episode, I sit down with Kara Bombell, co-founder of Ethic AI, who went from COO of a major digital agency to building her own business at the frontlines of the AI revolution. Kara doesn't sugarcoat it: 95% of enterprise organisations are failing at AI implementation, entire management layers are about to collapse, and the women who wait will be left behind. ____________ ✨Pre-Order The Bold Move✨ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Georgie: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com 🌀Pivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ Connect with Kara: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kara-bombell/ 🤖 Ethic AI: https://www.ethicai.au/ ____________ ✨ What You'll Discover: 🟣 Why Corporate Stability is Over: The loyalty-for-security contract has been ripped up. Kara explains why "job hugging" won't save you and what to do instead. 🟣 The Skills That Will Survive: It's not about learning to code. It's about critical thinking, creativity, orchestration, and the distinctly human edges AI can't replicate. 🟣 The 95% Failure Rate: Why massive enterprises are bombing at AI while medium businesses are thriving—and what that tells you about hierarchy, bureaucracy, and the future of work. 🟣 Map Your Transferable Skills Now: Kara shares how she audited her own day, identified what drained her energy, and built a business around her highest-value work. 🟣 The Co-Founder Advantage: Why going solo is overrated and how partnering with the right person accelerates velocity, accountability, and joy. 🟣 Women Are 25% Behind in AI Adoption: But Kara argues this isn't weakness—it's wisdom. Women's lived experience with ethics and care is exactly what the AI era needs. 🟣 Beyond 2030: What happens when labour is decoupled from profit? Kara gets brutally honest about wealth concentration, government intervention, universal income, and what individuals must do right now. ____________ 🔥 Why This Episode Matters: If you've been waiting for permission to reinvent yourself, this is it. If you've been scared to leave corporate, overwhelmed by AI, or unsure what skills actually matter anymore—Kara delivers the roadmap. She's living proof that you can leap from the safety of a senior role into building something meaningful, future-focused, and aligned with your values. This conversation isn't about fear. It's about agency. It's about stepping into the driver's seat of your career before someone else decides your fate. ____________ ⏰ Time Stamps 00:00 – The fear everyone has about AI (and why most people are already behind) 02:15 – Kara’s unconventional career path: filmmaker → COO → AI founder 05:40 – Why companies are implementing AI wrong (and the hidden cost) 08:12 – The myth of “AI replaces jobs”—what’s really happening inside organisations 10:30 – Job hugging: why corporate stability is officially dead 12:05 – The collapse of middle management & what that means for your career 14:20 – Skills vs job titles: the mindset shift you MUST make now 16:40 – How Kara mapped her transferable skills to pivot into AI 19:10 – Why the dopamine of “busywork” is holding you back 20:30 – The power of co-founders and the new model of work 23:55 – The female advantage in AI (and why more women MUST enter this space) 26:40 – Wealth concentration, governments, and what 2030 may really look like 30:25 – How to build the human skills AI cannot replace 33:40 – Why leaders need to carve out thinking time for their people 36:20 – How Kara’s company, Ethic AI, is preparing organisations for the future 40:10 – AI slop, brand differentiation & the rise of personalised experience 43:00 – The one skill that will decide who thrives in the AI era 46:25 – Philosophy, poetry & critical thinking: why they matter in an AI-driven world 49:15 – Women and AI: the 25% adoption lag and how to close the gap 52:50 – Final message: Why acting now matters more than ever 54:10 – Kara’s call to women: Your lived experience is exactly what AI needs

Everyone is telling you to "learn AI" to save your job. But according to Microsoft’s CTO, that might be the wrong goal. We are entering the era of "AI Agents" and "Digital Twins", a shift that will make the last 2 years of tech changes look slow. If you are still trying to compete by working harder, you are at risk. In this exclusive panel, I sat down with Sarah Carney (CTO, Microsoft ANZ), Wendy Zveglic (Salesforce Signature Success), and Carina Parisella (Chief People Officer, Andromeda Robotics) to strip away the corporate fluff and reveal exactly what is coming for your career in 2026. ________ Get the blueprint to survive the shift in my new book, "The Bold Move": 👉 https://www.theboldmovebook.com ________ In this video, we cover: 🟣 The "Agent" Economy: Why executives are planning to hire AI agents instead of people. 🟣 The "Leasing" Model: Microsoft's prediction that you will "lease" your Digital Twin to employers by 2026. 🟣 Redundancy Reality: Wendy reveals how she was made redundant twice in 24 months (and how she bounced back). 🟣 The "Intern" Trap: Why doing things the "old way" is making you invisible. 🟣 The Verdict: Why "Human Skills" are suddenly the most expensive asset in the room. ________ Timestamps: 0:00 - Cold Open: The Reality of 2026 0:45 - The Wake-Up Call 4:00 - Georgie: "We can't sit this one out" 6:00 - Sarah (Microsoft): From Army Helicopters to CTO 10:00 - Wendy (Salesforce): Reinventing yourself after banking 18:00 - The End of the "Single Player" Career 20:00 - Wendy: "I was made redundant twice in 24 months" 29:00 - Microsoft CTO: "Don't Learn AI" (The Controversial Advice) 31:00 - How to land a top role in 88 days (in your 40s) 37:00 - "I'm not hiring people, I'm hiring Agents" 44:00 - The "Mining Truck" Story: Outcome vs. Process 47:00 - Why men see AI as "Winning" and women see "Cheating" 59:00 - The "Swedish Intern" Story: Why doing it manually is dangerous 1:15:00 - Advice for Gen Z (25-year-olds) entering Tech ________ About this video: This isn't just a discussion about ChatGPT.

Are you rating your AI skills a 4/10 while your male colleagues rate themselves an 8? 📉 In this episode, we expose the "Good Girl" mindset that is causing women to fall behind in the AI revolution.
