Career Confidence

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 Work With Me?

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 to AI Ready Women, where Lou Compagnone, Director of Artificial Intelligence at Datacom, and I sit down with Katherine Boiciuc, CTO of EY Oceania, to talk about what's actually happening in the AI job market right now, and what it means for your career. This is a brutally honest conversation about the skills gap, the salary premium, and why women need to stop waiting and start positioning themselves for the future of work. ____________ ✨60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator✨ Learn More here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 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 Katherine Boiciuc: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherineboiciuc/ ____________ In Today's Episode: 🟣 Why AI salaries are 56% higher on average, and how women can position themselves to access these premium roles right now. 🟣 The uncomfortable truth: Australia needs 200,000 more AI-skilled workers, and if women don't step up, we'll be importing talent instead of empowering our own. 🟣 Why XAI is paying Wall Street bankers $100 an hour to train Grok, and what this reveals about the value of human expertise in the age of AI. 🟣 The data quality crisis: why AI companies are hiring humans to teach models emotional intelligence, financial modelling, and real-world navigation, and what that means for your career. 🟣 Why 84% of Australians are using AI at work, but less than half have done any formal training, and why that's a massive risk. 🟣 The 60 30 10 model: why AI adoption at scale is 60% about people, 30% about data, and only 10% about the tools, and why most organisations are getting it backwards. 🟣 Why boring AI is where the real results are happening in enterprises: small language models, targeted agents, and task-specific automation that actually creates value. 🟣 The mindset shift from time management to energy management, and why saying "I don't have time" is actually saying "I'm choosing not to prioritise my career." 🟣 The democratisation of AI: why you no longer need to be a Silicon Valley engineer to build apps, create agents, or access world-class tech capabilities. 🟣 The 1996 chess match between Garry Kasparov and IBM Deep Blue: the 30-year-old signal we all missed about the future of human and AI collaboration. 🟣 Why women need to stop waiting for clarity, permission, or the perfect moment, and start building AI skills now before the opportunity passes them by. 🟣 The exact micro credentials and free training resources you can access today to start building your AI literacy and career confidence. ____________ If this episode resonated with you, reach out to KB, Lou, and me on LinkedIn.

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 to AI Ready Women, where Lou Compagnone, Director of Artificial Intelligence at Datacom, and I sit down to talk about what's actually happening in AI right now, and what it means for your career. This is a brutally honest conversation about the signals you need to be paying attention to, the mindset shifts you need to make, and how to stop reacting to disruption and start becoming the architect of your own future. ____________ ✨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 ____________ Connect with Lou Compagnone: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/ ____________ In Today’s Episode: 🟣 Why companies are cutting workers based on what AI could do, not what it's actually doing today, and what that means for you right now. 🟣 The truth about AI redundancy washing: 60% of executives surveyed said they've reduced headcount in anticipation of AI's future impact, not its current capabilities. 🟣 Why SaaS companies are at massive risk from AI disruption, and how everyday people are now building their own tools instead of paying for subscriptions. 🟣 The Atlassian layoffs: what the announcement revealed about how companies are communicating these decisions, and why the lack of empathy is damaging their reputation. 🟣 The anthropic report findings: which roles are most exposed to AI (computer programmers, customer service, data entry), and which are least exposed (cooks, mechanics, lifeguards). 🟣 Why mid career professionals, especially older, female, educated, and higher paid workers, are most at risk, and what you need to do about it. 🟣 The danger of vibe coding: why one developer described inheriting a vibe coded project as the new tech debt, and why companies still need skilled developers. 🟣 Why your permanent job is not stable anymore, and why you need to start thinking like an entrepreneur and building multiple income streams. 🟣 The exact strategies mid career women need to implement right now: activate your network, make your reputation your resume, and ensure your LinkedIn profile is set up for where you want to go, not just where you've been. 🟣 For younger professionals: why now is the time to experiment, build your network from day one, develop your personal brand, and double down on human skills like communication and sales. 🟣 Why you need to add AI fluency to stable growth areas like healthcare, law, education, sustainability, and trades, rather than just learning AI in isolation. 🟣 The three income stream model: outcomes based pricing, recurring revenue through subscriptions or advisory work, and IP based passive income. ____________ Why This Episode Matters: The world is changing. The jobs are changing. The skills that matter are changing. But you don't have to be a victim of this disruption. You can be the architect of your own future. This episode will show you how. It will give you the clarity, the strategies, and the mindset you need to stay ahead in the age of AI. Because the truth is, any time you're not actively positioning yourself for the future, you're quietly becoming invisible. And we refuse to let that happen to you. ____________ Your Next Step: If this episode resonated with you, reach out to Lou and me on LinkedIn. Let us know your biggest takeaway.

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 up costing them promotions, influence, and long term leverage. Women make up nearly half of the workforce, but at senior leadership level, that number drops dramatically. Globally, women hold roughly a third of senior management roles. And at CEO level? Under 10% in many markets. Here's what's keeping me up at night: men are applying for promotions when they meet around 60% of the criteria. Women wait until they meet all of it. And that gap compounds over time. Then you add AI into the mix. The World Economic Forum projects that millions of roles will be reshaped by automation in the next few years, and many of the most AI exposed roles are functions where women are heavily represented. This isn't about confidence. It's about making sure that as the market shifts, and it is shifting fast, you are not accidentally falling behind because of habits that once felt safe. The women who rise in the next era won't just be the hardest working. They'll be the most strategic. And the gap between strategic and reactive widens quickly. ____________ 🟣 Want to Work With Me?

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 right now, and what it actually means for you. This isn't fear mongering. This isn't doom and gloom. This is a brutally honest conversation about representation, opportunity, and why women are avoiding AI at a 25% lower rate than men. And what we must do about it. Because the future belongs to the women who are ready for it. And I want to make sure that's you. ____________ 🟣 Want to Work With Me?

And we cannot afford to sit this one out. ____________ Why This Episode Matters: I've worked in tech recruitment for 14 years. I've seen how women get left out of conversations. I've seen how patterns repeat. And I refuse to let it happen again with AI. This is the most important technology shift of our lifetime. And if we're not part of it, we will be left behind. Not because we're not capable. But because we've been programmed to think it's not for us. This series is about changing that narrative. This is about empowerment, representation, and making sure you have the tools, the confidence, and the community to thrive in the age of AI. ____________ Your Next Step: If this episode resonated with you, reach out to Lou and me on LinkedIn.

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 yourself correctly. Not if you start packaging yourself for the future. Not if you start building visibility and leverage now, before you need it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact strategies you need to future-proof your career in the age of AI. This isn't about fear. This isn't doom and gloom. This is about empowerment. Because while there's uncertainty, there's also unprecedented opportunity, but only if you know how to position yourself for it. ____________ 🟣 Want to Work With Me?

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 mistakes I see women make—and exactly how to fix them. Because the truth is, most of us are playing by outdated rules. We're relying on resumes that aren't AI-ready. We're not networking strategically. We're not positioning ourselves for the future. And we're waiting until we're desperate to make a move. That ends today. ____________ 🟣 Want to Work With Me? Enrollment for my 60-Day Bold Career Accelerator is closing soon.

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 down the exact blueprint I use to help professionals take back control of their careers in 2026 and beyond.

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 replacing humans. It's that mid-career professionals who refuse to adapt are being left behind. Welcome back to Career Confidence, where today I'm sitting down with Lou Compagnoni, Director of Artificial Intelligence at Datacom, to talk about what's actually happening in AI right now—and what it means for your career. This isn't fear-mongering. This isn't doom and gloom. This is a brutally honest conversation about the signals you need to be paying attention to, the mindset shifts you need to make, and how to stop reacting to disruption and start becoming the architect of your own future. ____________ ✨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 ____________ Connect with Lou Compagnone: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/ ____________ Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction: AI Ready Women Series Launch 1:12 The Current State of AI: Mixed Feelings in the Marketplace 4:54 Amazon Layoffs and AI: What’s Really Happening? 7:04 Key Signals to Watch: Language Shifts and Cognitive Debt 9:16 How to Use AI Without Losing Your Creative Edge 14:13 Women and AI: Overcoming the 'Cheating' Mindset 14:53 Who’s Most at Risk?

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 habits, the old beliefs, the safe job that brings no joy but feels familiar. Welcome to the Bonus Week of The Bold Move Challenge, where we're talking about the part of transformation nobody wants to discuss: the messy middle. The bold gap. The space between where you are and where you want to be. And why this is exactly where resilience is built. ____________ ✨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 🟣 The Bold Gap: What happens in the space between where you are and where you want to be, and why most people give up right before the breakthrough. 🟣 You're Going to Come Up Against Yourself: Every time you step outside your comfort zone, doubt and fear will show up. This isn't a sign you're failing. It's a sign you're growing. 🟣 Why Change Feels So Hard: If change was easy, everyone would be living their dream life. But it's not. And that's exactly why it's worth it. 🟣 The Comfort Zone Trap: How easy it is to fall back into old habits, old beliefs, and old versions of yourself when the path forward feels uncertain. 🟣 The Regret Test: Would you regret not doing this? Would you look back in a year, five years, ten years and wish you'd kept going? Use this question to guide your decisions. 🟣 Resilience is Built in the Struggle: It's in those moments when you want to quit—when you choose to take one more step—that your strength and character are forged. 🟣 One Percent Better: You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be one percent better than you were yesterday. One more rep. One more day. One more step forward. 🟣 Check In With Yourself: Are you falling back into old patterns? Are you giving your time and energy to things that don't matter? Keep reconnecting to your why. 🟣 The Messy Middle is Where Growth Lives: On the other side of discomfort is the person you're working to become. Don't turn back now. ____________ Why This Episode Matters: I couldn't end this challenge without preparing you for what's coming. Because the truth is, any time you go for more, more freedom, more impact, more confidence, more joy—you're going to face resistance. Internal resistance. Doubt. Fear. Imposter syndrome. All of it. And if you're not prepared for that, it's so easy to quit. To convince yourself it's too hard. To fall back into what feels safe. But I'm asking you not to do that. Because the person you're becoming on the other side of this discomfort is worth fighting for. And the life you're building is worth the struggle. ____________ Your Bonus Week Challenge: ✨ Acknowledge the messy middle: Understand that change is hard. Expect the doubt. Expect the fear. And keep going anyway. ✨ Reconnect to your why: When doubt gets loud, go back to your why. Why did you start this? What are you working towards? Who are you becoming? ✨ Check in with yourself: Are you falling back into old habits? Are you giving your time and energy to the right things? Keep course-correcting. ✨ Take one more step: You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to take one more step. One percent better than yesterday. ✨ Build your resilience muscle: This is where your strength is built. In the struggle. In the discomfort. In the moments when you choose to keep going. ____________ Join the Movement: If you've been part of this challenge, I want to hear from you. What's been your biggest takeaway?

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. Welcome to Week 4 of The Bold Move Challenge, where we're getting intentional about the people we surround ourselves with, and building a support system that actually supports your boldest moves. ____________ ✨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 4: 🟣 The Power of Your Inner Circle: Why the people you surround yourself with will either accelerate your growth or keep you stuck, and how to identify who's who. 🟣 You Can't Do This Alone: We're not meant to sit in isolation. Human connection is what will separate success from struggle as the world becomes more digital and AI-driven. 🟣 Who Lifts You Up?: I walk you through how to identify the people in your life who energise you, inspire you, and make you feel more confident, and how to spend more intentional time with them. 🟣 The Gratitude Gap: Who are you taking for granted? Who's been quietly cheering you on that you haven't acknowledged or appreciated? This week is about showing up for the people who show up for you. 🟣 Don't Wait Until You Need Them: Most people only engage their network when they're desperate. I'm teaching you how to build genuine relationships before you need them. 🟣 Beyond Your Immediate Circle: Your support system isn't just the people you can call. It's the podcasters, authors, coaches, and influencers who inspire you from a distance. Who are they? And how can you surround yourself with their energy? 🟣 Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker: You have value to bring. How can you support the people in your corner? How can you lift them up the way they lift you? This is about reciprocity, not just networking. 🟣 Build Your Network with Intention: If you don't have a strong support system right now, that's okay. I share exactly how to start building one—through networking events, online communities, and putting yourself in rooms with like-minded people. 🟣 The Difference Between Giving Up and Keeping Going: When doubt gets loud, your support system is what keeps you moving forward. This is why it matters. This is why you can't skip this step. ____________ Your Week 4 Challenge: ✨ Write down your support system: Who are the people in your life who lift you up? Who energises you? Who inspires you? Make a list of your cheerleaders. ✨ Reach out to someone you've been taking for granted: Send a message. Make a call. Show gratitude. Let them know you appreciate them. ✨ Identify who's outside your immediate circle: Who are the podcasters, authors, coaches, or influencers who inspire you? Follow them. Listen to them. Read their work. Surround yourself with their energy. ✨ Think about how you can give back: What value can you bring to your network? How can you support the people who support you? Relationships are a two-way street. ✨ If your network is small, start building it: Join a community. Attend a networking event. Put yourself in rooms with like-minded people. Your support system won't build itself. ____________ Join the Movement: If you're committing to this week's challenge, I want to hear from you. Comment below, message me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and tell me: Who's one person in your corner that you're grateful for? And how are you going to show them appreciation this week? Use the hashtag #BoldMoveChallenge and let's celebrate the people who lift us up. And here's a little secret: Today was supposed to be the end of the Bold Move Challenge. But I have a sneaky surprise coming next week. A bonus episode that's going to round off this challenge beautifully and set you up for success. So stay tuned. Because we're not done yet. Georgie 💜

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. And why ethical, human-centred AI adoption is women's competitive edge. 🟣 Build Equity Into Your Operating Model: The one change every leader must make to stop women from leaving—and how to hold teams accountable for inclusion. 🟣 Parental Leave as a Systemic Lever: Why equalising parental leave isn't just good for families—it's one of the fastest ways to close the gender gap in tech. 🟣 The T EDI Standards: Australia's first national framework for gender equity in tech—and how it's designed to create accountability at scale. 🟣 Stop Thinking Job Titles, Start Thinking Skills: How to map your transferable skills, future-proof your career, and stay relevant in an AI-driven world. 🟣 Why Women Must Stay in Tech: The next generation needs role models.

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.
