It's been a while, but we're back with a new episode of If It's Hurting It's Not Working, our podcast all about work - how we work, why we work and what makes a great job.

We've got a fascinating topic to discuss - Artificial Intelligence and its impact on our lives and careers - and we've got a great panel to discuss it with. Not only are the three hosts - Richard, Emily and Nicola - in one place for the first time, but we also have a fantastic guest. Viv Leinster is a People, Culture and Transformation leader who we've all worked with, and yet has somehow never appeared on this podcast before.

We chat about the impact that AI applications, particularly Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, are having on the workplace, some of our personal experiences of using them and our hopes, our concerns and our expectations for the future.

If you’ve enjoyed this episode, please rate our podcast and leave reviews in places like Apple Podcasts and Podchaser. Also tell your family, tell your friends, tell your colleagues tell everyone you meet. But if you didn’t like it, don’t tell a soul.

In the podcast, Viv mentions the work of Ethan Mollick. Viv subcribes to the newsletter One Useful Thing | Ethan Mollick | Substack and finds it fascinating.

Our fantastic cover art was designed for us by Bea Garrido. She's a really talented artist, who listened to what we wanted to do with the podcast and then stepped us through a series of concepts until we found the one we really liked. Thanks Bea. You can find her on Twitter using @BeaGarrido00.

Richard and Nicola return with an episode about how to tackle a new job. We catch up with what's been happening with Nicola in her new role and how much of what she had planned came to pass. And Richard chips in with some observations about new jobs he's had.

Then we talk more generally about starting out somewhere new - what to look out for and how to make it a good experience for you and your new colleagues. We discuss the opportunities for reinvention, what that can do for us and whether we can reinvent or relaunch ourselves even if we stay in the same place. And we ask why it is that so many of the things that are roughly the same in any organisation are handled so differently.

Emily is leaving. So Nicola has joined the podcast. But she's leaving too, in a way. We're back with an episode all about making changes and moving on. And we'll temper the thrill of making and seizing opportunities that take us away from what we know, with the knowledge that sometimes it's worth hanging on to what you already have. We have a wide ranging discussion about the value of new starts, why you might want to stay somewhere for longer and how to weigh up our options. We say goodbye to Emily who helped to devise our format, and has been a huge part of its success. And we say hello to Nicola, who's been a strong supporter since the start. And, never one to miss an opportunity to hit you over the head with a metaphor, Richard uses his favourite TV programme to illustrate the point by recreating a famous "regeneration" scene.
