In this episode, Juliet and Lucy explore three of the biggest forces shaping the future of leadership: AI, human connection and uncertainty. These themes sit at the centre of how leaders will need to think, work and support their teams in the years ahead.

Drawing on their own experiences, conversations with clients and emerging research, they share grounded, practical reflections on how to lead thoughtfully in a world of rapid change.

They explore:

• How AI can act as a thinking partner
• Ways leaders can use AI for writing, planning and problem-solving while staying ethical and intentional
• Why human connection matters more than ever in hybrid and remote teams
• The impact of lost everyday connection at work – and what leaders can do to rebuild trust and belonging
• How to lead when the future is uncertain – and why you don’t need to have all the answers

If you want to feel better equipped to lead in a world of emerging AI, shifting ways of working and constant change, this episode is for you.

The best leaders don’t have all the answers - they know how to bring people together to find them. In this episode, Lucy and Juliet explore facilitation as a core leadership skill: how to create safe, energising spaces where people feel heard, ideas flow and progress happens.

They unpack what great facilitation looks like in practice, from reading the room and adjusting on the spot, to listening deeply and guiding conversations that unlock insight and action.

They explore:

• What facilitation really is - and why it matters for every leader
• How to make meetings and workshops more productive and inclusive
• The role of intuition, curiosity and courage in leading live discussions
• Simple ways to ensure every voice is heard
• When to bring in an external facilitator to get the most from your team

If you want to lead with more confidence, clarity and collaboration - this episode is for you.
