    Ep21 The Future Is Human: Leading Well While Leveraging AI with Robert Schaffner

    AI is moving fast. But great leadership is still deeply human. If you’re a leader navigating AI, change, or uncertainty and wondering how to stay grounded, clear, and human while embracing technology, this episode is for you. In this episode of Clarity is Power, Ruth Saw is joined by Robert Schaffner, founder of Triangility, leadership futurist, keynote speaker, and former engineer for a thoughtful and practical conversation on leading well in an AI-driven world. Rather than framing leadership as humans versus technology, Robert invites us to see AI as a collaborator that supports thinking and decision-making while reminding us that judgment, empathy, creativity, and responsibility remain uniquely human. A personal clarity moment—sparked by Robert becoming a grandfather—grounds the conversation in a bigger question: What kind of leaders, workplaces, and world are we shaping for future generations? Together, Ruth and Robert explore how leaders can move beyond fear or blind adoption of AI, and instead lead with intention, discernment, and clarity. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the future of leadership remains human—even as AI advancesHow to leverage AI without losing judgment, accountability, or ownershipWhere AI supports thinking—and where human leadership matters mostHow to design meetings and conversations where humans think first and AI supports secondWhy clarity creates space for curiosity, creativity, and growth in teamsThe conversation also surfaces risks leaders often overlook such as over-reliance on AI, erosion of critical thinking, and the quiet loss of pride and ownership in our work and offers practical ways leaders can stay conscious and intentional in how they use technology. ✨ A reflection to consider: As AI becomes more powerful, how are you strengthening the human qualities needed to lead with clarity and confidence? 🎧 If you’re a leader committed to using AI wisely without losing your humanity, this episode offers reassurance, depth, and practical insight. Stay listening till the end for Robert’s reflections on creating environments where people feel safe to think, explore ideas, and make better decisions together.🔗  🛠 Tools Mentioned Songwriting AI: https://www.suno.com Facilitation: https://www.liberatingstructures.com/ Creative tools: https://www.dzine.ai https://openart.ai https://higgsfield.ai Connect with Robert Schaffner LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertschaffner/ Business: https://triangility.com/ About Ruth Ruth Saw is a leadership and communication coach, Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, Accredited Soundwave Practitioner, and author of five bestselling books on clarity, purpose, and faith.

    Ep20 From Training to Transformation with Captain Dr Shan Moorthi

    Have you ever invested in training, only to realise that nothing really changed afterwards? The workshop was engaging.  The framework made sense.  But weeks later, the same behaviours show up.  The same tensions remain.  And the culture feels unchanged. In this follow-up episode of Clarity is Power, Ruth Saw is joined again by Captain Shan to explore why training alone rarely leads to real transformation and what actually shifts how teams think, behave, and work together. Building on Episode 19, this conversation goes deeper into the gap between knowing and doing. Captain Shan shares real observations from the field, including how leaders unknowingly reinforce old patterns, why teams default to silence or compliance, and what happens when difficult conversations are avoided for too long. One powerful story revisits a team culture that had remained toxic for over a year and how a carefully facilitated two-hour conversation became the turning point. Not through authority or confrontation, but through clarity, structure, and psychological safety. Together, Ruth and Captain Shan unpack why transformation does not begin with answers or more training, but with the quality of conversations leaders are willing to hold. They also reflect on what leaders can do before problems escalate by noticing behaviours early and shifting from control to facilitation. This episode is especially relevant for leaders, facilitators, and HR professionals who want culture change that actually lasts, not just training that looks good on paper. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why training alone rarely creates lasting behaviour changeThe difference between surface compliance and real transformationHow silence and avoidance quietly shape team cultureWhat leaders often miss when teams appear finePractical ways to create safer, more honest conversations at work✨ A reflection to consider: Where are conversations being avoided in your team, and what might that be costing you? 🎧 If you are a leader who wants more than good intentions and temporary fixes, this episode offers grounded insights into how real transformation begins. Stay till the end for Captain Shan’s reflections on what leaders can do today to foster healthier conversations and stronger collaboration.

    Ep19 Why Leaders Must Stop Pretending They Know It All with Capt Dr. Shan Moorthi

    Have you ever felt the pressure to have all the answers as a leader, even when things are unclear? In today’s fast-changing and complex world, many leaders feel caught between expectations and uncertainty. Teams look to them for clarity, yet pretending to know can quietly erode trust, engagement, and ownership. In this episode of Clarity is Power, Ruth Saw is joined by Captain Dr. Shan Moorthi, CEO of Team Coach International and recipient of Malaysia’s Human Resources Minister Award, for a grounded and practical conversation on facilitative leadership. Drawing from decades of experience working with leaders and teams across Asia, Shan shares why modern leadership is less about telling and more about enabling. He brings this to life through real leadership situations, including a powerful case study on how a toxic team culture was broken and rebuilt through courageous conversations, trust-building, and clarity of roles. As the conversation unfolds, Shan challenges the belief that leaders must always know best. Instead, he explains how creating the right conditions for dialogue allows teams to think together, collaborate more effectively, and make better decisions. Towards the end of the episode, Shan offers practical reflections on how leaders can prepare themselves to foster collaboration, surface ideas, and create the psychological safety needed for stronger decision-making. It’s a thoughtful closing that brings the conversation from insight into action, and a reason to stay listening till the end. This episode is especially relevant for leaders navigating uncertainty, leading diverse teams, or seeking to move from control to collaboration. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why pretending to know can weaken trust and leadership credibilityWhat facilitative leadership looks like in real workplace situationsHow meaningful conversations can help break toxic team dynamicsWhy enabling dialogue leads to better ideas and decisionsHow leaders can prepare themselves to foster collaboration and ownership✨ A reflection to consider: Where might you be holding on to the need to have answers, instead of creating space for your team to think and contribute? 🎧 If you are a leader, manager, or coach seeking clarity in how you lead during uncertain times, this conversation offers both reassurance and practical wisdom.  Listen through to the end to hear how leaders can intentionally prepare themselves to lead with greater clarity, courage, and collaboration.

    Ep18 Why Most Mentoring Relationships Don’t Work (And What Actually Does) with Rossella Pin

    Have you ever been part of a mentoring relationship that looked good on paper, but never quite worked in practice? Many leaders enter mentoring relationships with the best intentions. Yet over time, these relationships can become one-sided, overly polite, advice-driven, or quietly unhelpful. Instead of growth, there is confusion. Instead of clarity, there is distance. In this episode of Clarity is Power, Ruth Saw continues her conversation with Rosella Pin, award-winning mentor, globally accredited leadership coach, and founder of MentorLab Group, to explore why mentoring relationships often fail to create real impact, and what actually makes them work. Rosella shares why mentoring is not about giving advice, sharing experience, or fixing problems. True mentoring, she explains, is a reciprocal relationship where both mentor and mentee grow through reflection, role modelling, and intentional dialogue. Drawing from her work across organisations and generations, Rosella unpacks the subtle differences between mentoring and coaching, and why clarity of intent is essential for mentoring to be transformational. This conversation invites leaders to rethink mentoring, not as a formal programme or obligation, but as a powerful developmental relationship grounded in trust, wisdom, and mutual growth. 💡 In this episode, you will learn: Why many mentoring relationships fail despite good intentionsThe difference between mentoring, coaching, advice-giving, and sponsorshipWhy effective mentoring must be reciprocal, not hierarchicalHow role modelling and reflection shape meaningful mentoring relationshipsWhy mentoring is critical for bridging generational differences in leadershipHow to intentionally build your own personal board of mentorsWhether you are a mentor, a mentee, or a leader responsible for developing others, this episode offers grounded insight into how mentoring can truly support leadership growth and clarity. ✨ A question to reflect on: What kind of mentoring relationship would truly support your growth this year, and who could you invite into that space? 📘 Mentioned in this episode: Becoming the Mentor: Two Lives, One Journey, A Million Gifts A book that brings mentoring to life through a real mentor-mentee relationship and lived experience. https://becomingthementor.com/ Connect with Rosella Pin Business: https://mentorlabgroup.com/ Book: Becoming The Mentor: Two Lives, One Journey, A Million Gifts https://becomingthementor.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rossellapin About Ruth Ruth Saw is a leadership and communication coach, Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, Accredited Soundwave Practitioner, and author of five bestselling books on clarity, purpose, and faith.

    Ep17 Radical Wisdom: Leading with Clarity in an AI-Driven, Noisy World with Rossella Pin

    How do you lead with clarity when you are overloaded with information, AI insights, and constant noise? More data does not always bring more clarity, and many leaders are quietly feeling overwhelmed rather than grounded. As we kickstart 2026, this episode invites you to pause and reflect on what it really means to lead wisely in uncertain times. Ruth Saw is joined by Rosella Pin, an award-winning mentor, globally accredited leadership coach, and founder of Mentor Lab Group, for a thoughtful conversation on radical wisdom. This is the kind of clarity that comes not from knowing more, but from discerning what truly matters. Rosella shares why wisdom is different from knowledge, how clarity is formed when information moves from the head to the heart, and why intuition, values, and courage matter more than certainty in leadership. She also reflects on her own journey of leaving the corporate world to build a mentoring and coaching practice, and what that season taught her about listening, alignment, and intentional decision-making. This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that in an AI-driven, noisy world, clarity in leadership is not found in speed. It is found in reflection, discernment, and wisdom. 💡 In this episode, you will learn: Why more information does not always lead to better decisionsThe difference between knowledge, information, and wisdomHow connecting the head and heart leads to clarityWhy intuition and values are essential for modern leadershipPractical ways to reduce noise and create space for reflection as you begin the yearIf you are seeking clarity, courage, and a grounded way to lead into the year ahead, this conversation is for you. ✨ A question to reflect on: Where in your life or leadership do you need to slow down and lead with greater clarity and wisdom?

In this heartfelt conversation with Ruth Saw, Louise shares how shifting her focus from weaknesses to strengths accelerated her career, rebuilt her confidence, and brought new harmony into her home. She also opens up about how this shift transformed the way she parents her children, including her son with vision impairment who went on to thrive beyond expectations.

    Ep14 From Panic to Purpose: He Kept the People and Profit Came After with Peng Sum Choe

    What would you do if your entire business shut down overnight and 6,000 people were counting on you? Most leaders would panic. Peng Sum Choe chose purpose. As CEO of Pan Pacific Hotels Group, Mr. Choe led through one of the toughest global crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, without retrenching a single employee. When fear shouted cut costs, he chose to protect people. When others focused on survival, he leaned on clarity, faith, and trust. In this heartfelt conversation with Ruth Saw, Peng Sum Choe reveals how leading with heart became his greatest strategy. It didn’t start during the crisis, it started years earlier, when he made tough calls, however painful, to rebuild a culture of trust. That trust became his company’s saving grace. He protected his people, and they protected the business. Together, they emerged stronger, more united, and more profitable than before. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: • How to lead with purpose when fear and uncertainty surround you • Why trust and clarity are stronger than any business strategy • The “war room” decisions that built loyalty instead of layoffs • How faith and values can guide leaders through impossible choices • How to shift toxic cultures into teams built on trust Because when leadership feels like a storm, the greatest strategy isn’t cutting back — it’s showing up. ✨ Listen now and ask yourself: What kind of culture are you creating before the next crisis hits?
