    165: Patrick Regan - Managing Overwhelm: Creating Space, Living Values, Leading Differently
    2026/08/28
    Patrick Regan OBE is author of Sunday Times bestseller "Small Steps for Big Change", Director of Brighter Days, and a wellbeing advocate. Patrick shares meaningful experiences in his life that helped him understand how to manage overwhelm. He describes the importance of setting boundaries and living our values during today's ongoing changes. Patrick explains how self-awareness helps people take small steps, make intentional choices and lead differently. He advocates for compassionate leaders who emphasise human connection and psychological safety, while addressing systemic causes of burnout. Patrick highlights his practices of creating space and thinking differently. KEY TAKEAWAYS [01:10] Patrick's life is impacted when facing a school incident as a youth worker during his gap year. [01:56] Patrick helps at the school and discovers how trauma and violence shape young people's lives. [02:55] Trying to solve unfixable problems leads to Patrick absorbing others' pain. [04:22] Comparing suffering can prevent people from recognising and addressing their own needs. [05:12] Multiple family health crises compound Patrick's stress. [06:04] Patrick has to face his own health crisis. [07:21] Health is Patrick's Achilles heel; his knee pain fuels unresolved anxiety. [08:02] Everyone bears the burden as Patrick wants to feel useful, but his capacity is limited. [08:46] Embracing limitations is a sign of maturity that ultimately supports flourishing. [09:58] Boundaries allow people to care for themselves and others at the same time. [10:46] Caregivers can suffer "secondhand smoke" supporting someone through serious difficulties. [11:31] Effective boundaries are personal, evolving, and shaped by individual needs and situations. [13:23] Men's mental health requires more attention, conversation, and accepting vulnerability. [14:51] Being courageous requires vulnerability to enable connection and recognise you're not alone. [15:40] Suppressed emotions eventually surface, making human connection vital to deal with issues. [18:10] Belonging matters more than fitting in, particularly when people need meaningful support. [18:55] Regular check-ins with trusted friends create a valuable personal support network. [18:47] Asking for "eight minutes" can signal an urgent need to feel heard and shift perspective. [20:11] Honest conversations are important especially where role models are missing. [21:08] Small changes reduce stress responses, enabling sustainable habits for long-term transformation. [23:38] Compassionate leaders create psychological safety so people feel able to speak up and contribute. [24:16] Patrick explains compassion as a fierce and courageous word. [24:28] Wellbeing tools cannot change organizational cultures that burn people out. [25:16] Questions for workplaces to address to improve culture, behaviours, and reduce burnout. [27:29] Organizational values are meaningful when they actively guide decisions and daily actions. [28:10] Patrick and his wife practice their belief that success is living up to your personal values. [31:30] Different experiences shape values, confront biases, and deepen understanding of humanity. [32:56] Listening to understand, not respond, helps people connect across different perspectives. [35:12] Caring for others needs to coexist with self-compassion and managing the inner critic. [37:00] Patrick comes up with "Start small, create space, think differently" when totally exhausted. [38:23] Gratitude shifts attention toward good experiences without denying that difficulties exist. [38:46] Creating mental space allows questioning of inner critique and listening to more constructive voices. [39:17] Self-awareness is a fundamental characteristic of effective leadership. [39:27] Power can be used with and for people rather than being exercised over them. [41:53] Social media echo chambers weaken abilities to debate, disagree and understand other's views. [43:39] Patrick seeks critical soft skills, valuing character and chemistry more than competence. [44:00] Younger generations seek 'JOMO' (Joy of Missing Out) not sacrificing wellbeing and family. [44:40] Connecting young people with their passions to unlock energy, creativity, and contribution. [45:41] Creative problem-solving requires intentional space away from constant overwhelm and competing demands. RESOURCES Patrick Regan OBE on LinkedIn Patrick's book "Small Steps for Big Change" Patrick's book "Brighter Days" Brighter Days website QUOTES "I think success is actually living true to your values." "How do we use our power 'with' and our power 'for', rather than our power 'over', which is the traditional use of power." "My favourite definition on boundaries is 'boundaries are how I love you and love me simultaneously." "So you wanna ...

  • 164: Angeliki Galanopoulou - The Millennial Career Reckoning: Adaptability and Agency in the Age of AI

    164: Angeliki Galanopoulou - The Millennial Career Reckoning: Adaptability and Agency in the Age of AI
    2026/08/13
    Angeliki Galanopoulou is Founder and Host of "the adaptive times" podcast, meanwhile taking a purposeful career break after more than seven years at Google. Angeliki discusses how AI is transforming work, job security, and career opportunities, particularly for millennials. She shares how burnout, loss, and rapid advances in AI prompted her to reassess work, wellbeing, and career priorities. Angeliki discusses why human connection, empathy, self-awareness, and continuous learning matter to stay relevant and thrive. She explains how millennials can build adaptability and agency to redesign work, explore entrepreneurship, and navigate increasingly uncertain careers. KEY TAKEAWAYS [01:34] Angeliki studies management science and technology while her career direction is unclear. [02:36] Digital marketing fascinates Angeliki combining technology and customers decision-making. [03:54] Understanding how the brain works - motivations, fears, and goals - improve sales. [04:98] Empathy, energy, and memorable relationships can produce stronger business results. [05:56] Burnout and coaching experience reshapes Angeliki's approach to skills, mindset, and work. [06:36] Relentless high performance becomes unsustainable without reassessing personal priorities. [07:05] Questioning what she wants, Angeliki identifies what gives her energy and does not. [07:48] Self-awareness matters to help optimise how work is done and reduce burnout risk. [09:05] Grief creates profound recalibration that cannot truly be prepared for beforehand. [09:35] Previous burnout awareness can help protect energy during difficult periods, including grief. [10:21] Major life events provoke deeper questions about choices, regrets, and careers. [13:11] Traditional long-term job security is disappearing as careers become less predictable. [13:42] Staying relevant now requires individuals to be 'selfish' about their professional growth. [14:35] People staying in stable corporate jobs must keep pace with AI to stay relevant and improve their wellbeing. [15:05] Other people leave their corporate jobs since AI lowers entrepreneurial barriers. [17:04] Time spent AI upskilling is limited inside companies as people don't feel they have time. [18:48] AI upskilling requires deliberately protecting learning time like formal education. [19:46] Individuals must actively practice new tools rather than await organizational guidance. [21:11] AI-prompted internal moves closer to technology for AI influence or to revenue for more perceived safety. [22:00] Communication and influence skills become increasingly important as technology advances. [22:15] Side hustles allow experimentation while maintaining the stability of corporate income. [23:35] Adaptability begins with comfortably admitting uncertainty and remaining genuinely curious. [26:06] Reframing is powerful, e.g. using frustrating situations to improve learning, communication, and personal agency. [28:38] Effective communication starts with deep listening beyond another person's spoken words. [29:31] Self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses reduces defensiveness and improves communication. [30:23] Professional positioning should prioritize audience value while being authentic personally. [32:18] Angeliki is advised to interview externally each year to test her market relevance and polish her positioning. [33:55] Internal mobility helps employees pursue evolving interests while remaining organisationally relevant. [34:54] Organizations should create protected time and resources for continuous AI learning. [35:34] Smaller companies are likely more human-centred than larger companies to keep talent. [37:30] Agency grows by noticing triggers, reframing reactions, and choosing constructive responses. [38:46] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Practice communication, storytelling, positioning, and visible courage to build future readiness. RESOURCES Angeliki Galanopoulou on LinkedIn the adaptive times podcast on YouTube the adaptive times website QUOTES "The safety doesn't really exist, the job safety. Which means that it's on us selfishly and personally to arm ourselves and do what we can to stay relevant and be on top and succeed and thrive in the rest of our careers as millennials." "It's your responsibility to keep up with AI for two reasons. Either to be super up-to-date, relevant and always top of mind, when it comes to doing your job more effectively and, and performing highly. Second, to actually improve your own wellbeing." "The barrier to entry in anything you want to build is minimal. Anyone can build and launch anything with almost minimal cost." "You build it [a side hustle] while you have the stable income. So I like to talk about corporate not necessarily as safe, but as stable." "We should all be adaptable. That's the skill we should all build." "See what triggers in you.....

    163: Ayelet Segal - Cultivating Human-centered AI & Ai Change Makers
    2026/07/31
    Professor Ayelet Segal, Human-Computer Interaction and UX expert and Head of the "AI & I" Lab of Bar Ilan's Faculty. Drawing on decades of experience in cognitive psychology, user experience, and technology innovation, she explains how AI can amplify rather than replace human expertise. She discusses human-centred design working on AI digital twins, personality-informed avatars, and why context and trust influence the quality of human-AI interactions. Ayelet describes how LLMs are not search engines but simulate our world and expand human capabilities. She shares how new methodologies are accelerating scientific breakthroughs. Ayelet explains how she is preparing emerging leaders to effect change, combining AI with soft skills to transform industries. KEY TAKEAWAYS [00:31] Visual communication studies leads Ayelet toward interactive media and human technology. [01:41] Her doctoral research explored touchscreen gestures for improved learning applications. [05:12] Every technological revolution creates significant human behavioural change. [05:45] Human-centred design combines cognitive psychology, design skills with emerging technology. [06:40] Effective innovation begins with human needs, expert input, and iterative testing. [09:14] Tech advances now enable more natural, human-centred interactions. [09:59] Video avatars can provide accessible, conversational expertise across many professional fields. [11:35] Digital twins use someone's knowledge base as well as their appearance and voice. [12:14] AI companions sustain 'natural' conversations by answering, encouraging, and remembering. [13:25] Video mentors generate longer, richer, more accurate interactions than text-based chatbots. [14:14] Natural conversation and proactive prompting can strengthen users' trust and engagement. [17:02] LLMs are not search engines. They simulate our world, including its strengths and biases. [17:40] Effective AI companions benefit from personalities appropriate to the specific professions. [18:36] Touchcast's avatars incorporate five personality traits as well as other parameters. [19:11] AI communication – to/from humans – should adapt language according to the audience. [21:21] Clear, defined context helps LLMs deliver more accurate answers. [22:30] LLMs gradually learn about the user, creating important foundation context about them. [23:55] Human-AI interaction is two-way, making individual accounts important for accuracy. [25:57] AI should become a cognitive partner that amplifies professional capabilities. [26:30] Professionals must creatively develop methodologies that expand their abilities with AI. [27:00] AI is transforming UX research, enabling greater scale, depth, and analysis. [27:30] AI-generated synthetic personas support research when human participants are unavailable. [29:01] Integrating AI throughout scientific research can enable new breakthroughs. [30:00] AI can help researchers rethink questions, not simply accelerate solutions. [33:21] New AI implementation roles require leaders who bridge technology and industry. [34:00] Students can become change makers using AI to identify transformative approaches. [34:57] AI implementation skills can accelerate graduates into meaningful management roles. [37:15] Successful change makers need skills in leadership, creativity, collaboration, and conflict mitigation. [38:00] Leading AI change requires gathering supporters and navigating organizational resistance. [39:00] Engaging deeply with AI now creates competitive edge for future leaders. [42:10] Even experienced AI experts feel overwhelmed by the technology's rapid growth. [43:13] People should focus on AI tools and developing solutions relevant to their profession. [44:27] Treat AI as a superpower extending your mind, capabilities, and professional impact. [44:48] Exploring real workplace needs can quickly inspire useful AI applications. [45:58] Despite genuine risks, AI can solve previously intractable global problems. [48:11] AI can advance sustainability, healthcare, education, and other critical domains. [48:40] Everyone can use AI's superpower to create positive global impact. [49:00] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Explore one professional challenge and develop an AI-supported solution this week. QUOTES "We've experienced a few technological revolutions….Each time, for example, when we started to create the applications for mobiles, there was also a big behavioural change." "We have now a technology that could be finally much more natural and human-centred." Re LLMs "It's a simulation of our world and it comes with everything that we know about it. With the good things and the bad things and we need to treat ...
