    Stop Fearing AI: How to Future-Proof Your Career in the Next 5 Years I Women Lead AI ft. Zoe Walters

    What if the reason your organisation isn't adopting AI has nothing to do with the technology? In this episode, I sit down with Zoe Walters. She is the co-founder of Empower AI, PhD researcher, and former Chief People Officer at Condé Nast - to unpack why AI adoption is really a human psychology problem, and what leaders can do about it. Zoe's benchmark survey of HR professionals found that only 16% were actively using AI in 2025. One year later, that figure jumped to over 80%. So what changed and what's still holding people back? We cover everything from the fear and resistance that stops people engaging with AI, to why HR needs to radically simplify its role, to the inner work that separates great leaders from everyone else in a fast-moving world. If you work in HR, lead a team, or are trying to figure out your place in the age of AI, this conversation is for you.

    How do we navigate the biggest technological shift of our generation without losing our humanity? In this episode of Women Lead AI, we sit down with Kelly Hartman a psychologist, executive coach, and HR powerhouse who has scaled five companies from the ground up, helped raise over $200 million in funding, and taken a company to the NASDAQ. Kelly shares her refreshing, deeply human perspective on artificial intelligence. From overcoming the psychological fear of the unknown to using tools like Claude to manage ADHD and dyslexia, Kelly explains why you need to act as the "CEO of your career". We discuss why women are adopting AI at a lower rate, how companies can successfully implement AI without breaking their culture, and why technology will never replace empathy, compassion, and human connection.
