    The Career Secrets Women Learn Too Late: with 7-Eleven's CEO, UniSuper's CPO & EY's AI Enablement Lead

    There are career lessons that change everything. And most women don't learn them until it's too late. You've worked hard. You've stayed loyal. You've done everything right. But somewhere along the way, the rules changed. And nobody told you. This episode is the live recording from Fearless & Future Ready, our Sisterhood Social event featuring three of Australia's most influential women in business and AI. One of them has never had a set career plan. One spent 26 years at Telstra before becoming a CEO. One is driving AI adoption across 10,000 people. And all three sat in a room and told the truth. This is the conversation most women don't get access to until it's too late. ___________ 🟣 Want to Work With Me?

It was the support network around them. 🟣 The real answer to the question every ambitious woman is afraid to ask, do you have to sacrifice everything to reach the top? Three C-suite women answered it honestly in the room. 🟣 How women stand out during uncertainty, and why the professionals who get noticed aren't always the hardest working, they're the most visible and the most willing to own a problem. 🟣 How these women created roles that didn't exist by making themselves known, speaking up, solving problems nobody asked them to solve, and taking ownership before they were given permission. 🟣 Julie Watkins has never had a set career plan.

It is the career decision that changes everything. ___________ Meet the Panellists: Fiona Hayes — CEO & Managing Director, 7-Eleven Australia 26 years at Telstra including 12 on the executive team. Appointed CEO of 7-Eleven in 2024. A leader who built her career by showing up, solving problems and making herself impossible to overlook.

    What Microsoft's CEO and 7-Eleven's CEO Just Told Us About AI

    AI is changing every career, and the CEO of Microsoft just told us something that should change how you think about yours. Plus what the CEO of 7-Eleven, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and the Head of AI at EY are really saying about the future of work, AI for women, and staying relevant in the age of AI ____________ ✨May’s 60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator✨ Learn More here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/apply/may ____________ In this episode, Georgie and Lou debrief two major events: Lou's experience at the Microsoft AI Tour, where Satya Nadella delivered a keynote on the future of agentic AI, and Georgie's 10th Sisterhood Social featuring Fiona Hayes (CEO of 7-Eleven Australia), Julie Watkins (Chief People Officer at UniSuper), and Erin Ashton (Head of AI Enablement at EY). What they discovered was fascinating. And a little bit unsettling. Because while some women are confidently experimenting with AI and feeling ahead of the curve, others are quietly falling behind, confused about what tools to learn, overwhelmed by the pace of change, and wondering if they're about to become irrelevant. This episode is about understanding that gap. It's about knowing what's actually happening inside organisations right now. It's about where to focus your energy.

    Ex-Shopify Leader's Warning - AI Brain Fry: Why Women Are Burning Out Faster

    The people struggling at Shopify weren't behind on the tools. They had lost the ability to think clearly. We're doing more than ever before. But there's a cost. And women are paying it first. Rachel Garrett spent seven years inside Shopify's AI transformation leading 800 people across 12 countries through one of the most aggressive AI adoptions any company has ever run. What she found changed how she thinks about work entirely. In this episode, Rachel joins Georgie and Lou to talk about AI Brain Fry, the cognitive burnout that's quietly hitting the highest AI users hardest. Why the judgment layer is now the most valuable skill you have. And why the future belongs not to those with the best tools, but to those with the most humanity. This is the conversation your organisation isn't having.

  4. The 4 LinkedIn Signals That Get You Found by Recruiters (And the silent mistake most women don't know they're making)

    The 4 LinkedIn Signals That Get You Found by Recruiters (And the silent mistake most women don't know they're making)

    Most ambitious women haven't touched their LinkedIn profile in years — and then wonder why opportunities aren't coming their way. They think they need to post more, apply more, hustle harder. But that's not the problem. After 12 years in recruitment, reviewing thousands of profiles, I can tell you: recruiters can't find you. And when they do, your profile is telling them the wrong story. In this episode, I'm showing you the 4 signals that actually determine whether you show up in recruiter searches, and what to do when you don't. By the end, you'll know exactly how to check your own LinkedIn visibility score in 60 seconds. ____________ 🔵 LinkedIn Visibility Tool Find Out Why Recruiters Scroll Past You 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/linkedin-audit ____________ ✨Grab the Book 📚 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: 🟣 Why your LinkedIn profile is probably working against you, and how to fix it before it costs you your next opportunity. 🟣 The 4 LinkedIn Signals Framework: Clarity, Keywords, Signal, and Delivery. What they are, why they matter, and which ones you're most likely missing. 🟣 Signal #1: Clarity. Does your profile immediately communicate who you are and what you do? Not just your job title or company, but your actual value. 🟣 Signal #2: Keywords. Does your profile contain the language that recruiters are actually searching for? Why internal jargon and company specific titles are making you invisible. 🟣 Signal #3: Signal. Does your profile communicate the seniority level you're targeting? Why your profile needs to be written for the role you want, not the role you have. 🟣 Signal #4: Delivery. Does your profile say what you deliver, not just what you do? The difference between describing tasks and demonstrating impact. 🟣 Why 80% of profiles fail the visibility test, and how to know if yours is one of them. 🟣 The real story of a senior woman with 15 years of experience who hadn't heard from a recruiter in over a year. What was wrong with her profile, what we changed, and why two recruiters reached out within three weeks. 🟣 How to access the free LinkedIn Visibility Tool that scores your profile across the 4 signal framework and gives you a personalised diagnosis in under 60 seconds. 🟣 The three questions you need to ask yourself right now to know if your LinkedIn profile is holding you back. 🟣 Why this isn't about capability, it's about packaging. And packaging is fixable. ____________ Open your LinkedIn right now. Look at your headline. Ask yourself: Does it say what I deliver or just what I do? If a recruiter searched for someone like me, would these words come up? Does this sound like the level I'm ready for, or the level I'm at? If you answered no to any of those questions, your profile is probably working against you. And the good news is, it's fixable. Use the free LinkedIn Visibility Tool in the link below. Paste in your headline and the first few sentences of your about section, and get your personalised diagnosis in under 60 seconds. The right opportunities are out there for you. But if your profile isn't visible to the people making the decisions, they will never reach you. You are not behind. You are just under-positioned. And we can fix that. Georgie 💜

    AI Futurist: AI Is Deciding Who Gets Hired And Most Women Don't Know Why

    If you're not positioned correctly on LinkedIn, no good about section, no optimised title, you will not come up. And that means you do not exist in the job market. The way we're discovered has changed overnight. And most women haven't been told.

    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.

Why your LinkedIn profile is now a search engine for talent, and how to optimise it so recruiters can actually find you. 🟣 Strategy #4: Build a Professional Brand. How to increase your visibility on LinkedIn by sharing insights, engaging in conversations, and demonstrating your expertise in public. 🟣 Strategy #5: Develop AI Fluency and Human Skills. Why AI literacy is becoming a fundamental professional capability, and how to combine it with the human skills that technology can't replace. 🟣 Why careers are no longer built on loyalty or tenure, but on relevance, visibility, and strategic positioning. 🟣 The exact message you can send on LinkedIn to reconnect with your network and let people know you're exploring new opportunities. 🟣 How to make sure your LinkedIn profile reflects the roles you want to move towards, not just the roles you've held in the past. 🟣 Why the professionals who succeed in the next decade won't be the hardest working, but the most strategic. ____________ Your Next Step: If this episode resonated with you, reach out to me on LinkedIn or Instagram.

    AI Salaries Are 56% Higher! How Women Can Break Into the Most In-Demand (And Highest Paid) Roles Right Now

    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.
