If you suspect or detect job candidates using AI in your recruitment process, do you see that as a red flag or a green light? If you reject them, you're pushing away exactly the kind of forward-thinking, problem-solving people you actually want on your team. More and more job seekers are using AI to explore careers, find opportunities, tailor their CVs, and even prepare for interviews. These are the people who will drive innovation from the inside.https://swiy.co/go-ai-savvy-employeesI recently delivered the closing keynote presentation at the AHRI (Australian Human Resources Institute) conference in Perth, talking about leading through disruption and the future of work. One of the biggest topics throughout the day was (surprise!) AI. I was pleased to see so many HR professionals seeing AI in a positive and optimistic way, as a powerful tool they can use in their professional roles.In contrast, there are many negative stories about recruiters and employers using AI, especially when they suspect or detect candidates using AI to help them in the recruitment process. Things like using AI to draft their cover letters, adjust their CVs to match the position, and even using it as a "coach" during online interviews.Some employers and recruiters take a dim view of these candidates. But that's a mistake. You WANT people who are open to AI, excited and enthusiastic about it, and using it to solve real problems. They are exactly the sort of employee you want in your organisation.In fact, if you see somebody using, say, an AI coach in an online interview, that might be not their first use of AI in the process. It might be the first time YOU see them using AI, but smart and savvy employees are now using AI at many stages of their career development.For example, they might have already used:* LinkedIn Career Explorer or JobGether Career Coach to plan their future careers* Lightcast AI to analyse and review the current labour market* Jobscan and Adzuna to do AI searches for their preferred jobs* Work180 to check whether future employers match their personal values* Rezi Resume Builder to build and adapt their CV* CoverDoc AI to draft their job application response* Yoodli AI to coach them before an interviewThese – and other – AI-based tools can help candidates on their journey, even before they engage with you.Aren't those the sort of people you want in your organisation?If you want to be a talent magnet and attract the best people, you want people with AI skills. If you reject them, you're shooting yourself in the foot.And this is not just about AI. It's about finding, attracting, and building an employee value proposition that reflects what you offer.For more, join my free public online presentation about being a talent magnet.

Today's episode is all about AI — the fears, the facts, and most importantly, the mindset shift you need to thrive.We've compiled some of my strongest takes on the future of work and how AI fits into it. You'll hear from people who are genuinely scared they're about to be replaced… and I'll give you the exact advice I'd give my own team. This tech is moving fast — but it's not about being perfect. It's about being adaptable.The people who succeed will stop acting like task doers and start thinking like architects. AI won't destroy opportunity — it'll redefine who earns it.We talk about:

Ever feel like your book will never be finished? I get it. I believe every author hits that point when they doubt, question, and even want to give up.

In this inspiring episode of the Retreat Leaders Podcast, host Shannon Jamail sits down with journalist-turned-content-marketer and storytelling coach, Renee Frojo, to explore how powerful storytelling can transform your retreat business from “meh” to sold out. Renee shares her journey from the newsroom to coaching B2B and B2C entrepreneurs on connecting with their audience in the most human way possible—through story. After selling out her very first international retreat in Costa Rica using just stories and intention (not a massive follower count), she's now hosting her second retreat in Mexico City, and trust us—you'll want in on what she's teaching.

What happens when a philosopher, a pyrotechnics entrepreneur, and a tech ethicist walk into a boardroom? You get Reid Blackman—author of "Ethical Machines", host of a podcast by the same name, and founder of Virtue, a consultancy helping Fortune 500 companies navigate the ethical risks of AI. In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, we explore the collision of ethics, emerging tech, and organizational complexity. Reid shares his unorthodox journey from selling fireworks out of a Honda to advising top executives on responsible AI. He discusses how AI creeps into organizations like a Trojan horse—through HR, marketing, and internal development—bringing serious ethical challenges with it. Reid explains why frameworks are often oversimplified tools, why every client engagement must be bespoke, and why most companies still don't know who should own AI risk. We dive into the business realities of AI risk management, the importance of moving fast in low-risk sectors like CPG, and the surprising reluctance of high-risk industries like healthcare to embrace AI. Reid also outlines how startups and tech-native firms often underestimate the need for ethical oversight, and why that's a gamble few can afford. If you want to understand how to future-proof your brand's reputation in an AI-driven world—or just love a good story about risk-taking, philosophy, and Led Zeppelin-fueled entrepreneurship—this is the episode for you. Three Key Takeaways: • AI Risk Is Organizational, Not Just Technical Ethical AI risk isn't the sole responsibility of the CIO or tech team—it's a company-wide issue. AI often enters through non-technical departments like HR or marketing, creating reputational and legal risks that leadership must manage proactively. • Frameworks Are Overrated—Bespoke Solutions Win Reid challenges the reliance on generic frameworks in thought leadership. Instead, he emphasizes the need for bespoke, agile solutions that are deeply informed by organizational structure, goals, and readiness. • Reputation Drives Readiness for Ethical AI Large brands in low-risk sectors (like CPG) are often quicker to adopt ethical AI practices because the reputational stakes are high. In contrast, high-risk sectors (like healthcare) are slower due to the complexity and fear surrounding AI implementation. If the episode with Reid Blackman sparked your interest in the ethical implications of thought leadership in rapidly evolving fields like AI, then you'll find a compelling parallel in our conversation with Linda Fisher Thornton. Linda dives into the broader responsibilities of thought leaders to ensure their content is not just smart, but also ethical, inclusive, and meaningful. While Reid examines AI as a fast-moving ethical challenge that demands bespoke, responsible oversight, Linda zooms out to highlight how thought leadership, in any domain, must be built on a foundation of trust, transparency, and long-term value creation. Both episodes challenge leaders to do more than inform—they must lead with conscience and intention. Listen to Linda's episode to explore how ethics can—and must—be the throughline of every thought leadership strategy.

CHROs, your role has never been more vital or more complex. AI, shifting politics, hybrid work, and evolving employee expectations, have taken the front seat in today's world of work. The future says you're no longer just managing HR, you're redefining the workplace itself. That's exactly why I launched Future of Work Leaders, a supportive global community built specifically for CHROs who are ready to move beyond traditional HR and are committed to building future-ready organizations.  In this episode, I share highlights from our very first 2025 gathering, where CHROs from some of the world's most respected brands came together to discuss the real challenges and opportunities shaping the future of work. I'm taking you behind the scenes of our inaugural Future of Work Leaders CHRO event, hosted at the Neiman Marcus Innovation Hub in Dallas. We brought together 40 CHROs from organizations like Johnson & Johnson, Northrop Grumman, Tractor Supply, Amway, and others to have deep, honest conversations about what's really driving change today. Topics like the evolving role of DEI, AI integration, hybrid work models, culture transformation, and even the political climate's impact on work. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Drawing on their professional and academic experience, Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau argue the current work “operating system” is increasingly unable to meet the needs of employees and employers. They join the Talent Angle to discuss their new book, Work Without Jobs: How to Reboot Your Organization's Work Operating System, and the opportunities for HR to shape a new vision for the future of work. Jesuthasan and Boudreau propose a new work “operating system” based on deconstructed work and deconstructed talent that would ultimately lead to a more human-centric approach to work.

If work is a product, and employees are customers of that product, then every company is a multi-sided business, one that must serve both consumers and workers.

He has spent his career studying the world's most influential platforms, from Uber and Airbnb to Apple and Amazon.

Artificial Intelligence isn't just changing our work—it's reshaping who we are. In this compelling Not All Hood conversation, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley dive into the unseen influence of AI on our creativity, our thinking, and our emotional lives. As AI tools make it easier for anyone to sound brilliant, the question becomes: what makes us truly original? They discuss how tech like auto-tune and AI-generated writing have blurred the lines between human and machine-made, and why the real power lies with those who know how to use AI without losing themselves. From students fiercely defending their AI-aided essays to professors requiring handwritten work just to ensure authenticity—this episode questions what ownership, authorship, and creativity really mean in a digital world. We also tackle the shifting landscape of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and how language and branding around it are being reimagined in real-time.

Globalization and deindustrialization have brought with them a sense among American workers that the good jobs they could once count on have disappeared. As family-supporting careers evaporate, service jobs with lower pay and unpredictable hours take their place in many communities across the country.Zeynep Ton, professor of practice at MIT's Sloan School of Management, joins Oren to discuss what a better future of work could look like. The two talk through what a “good job” means today, in a world where frontline service-sector work dominates U.S. employment. Plus, they unpack why stability, career growth, and supportive pay for the jobs that already exist—rather than a focus on training for the “jobs of the future”—is vital to supporting America's workers.Further reading:“Building a Strong U.S. Middle Class Requires High-Productivity, High-Dignity Service Jobs,” by Zeynep Ton

In recent years, organizations have started to experiment with skills-based hiring by dropping degree requirements and other credentials in job postings to unlock new talent populations. However, a fully-realized skills-based hiring approach demands deep change in talent processes and hiring manager practices. To this point, most organizations have been unable to weave this method into the fabric of their talent strategy. Joseph Fuller, professor at Harvard Business School, rejoins the Talent Angle to discuss his latest research: “Skills-Based Hiring: The Long Road from Pronouncements to Practice.” Joseph shares data to show the extent to which skills-based hiring commitments have translated to meaningful action, and offers practical guidance to help organizations broaden the aperture of their talent pools. Joseph Fuller is a professor of management practice in general management at Harvard Business School and co-leads the school's initiative, Managing the Future of Work. He founded the consulting firm Monitor Group, now Monitor Deloitte, and has worked with senior executives and policymakers on a wide variety of issues related to corporate strategy and national competitiveness.   Dion Love is a vice president of research and advisory services at Gartner. Dion is a labor market expert, focusing on global labor market trends and what they mean for organizations' talent and business strategies, as well as broader social and economic issues. In his work at Gartner, Dion advises clients on key aspects of talent acquisition, including talent acquisition function planning and management, talent needs definition and internal recruiting, employment branding and recruitment marketing, and talent sourcing and selection. He has co-authored more than 12 strategic research studies at Gartner. His work has been featured in the Harvard Business Review and industry publications, as well as Gartner HR Leaders Monthly and Smarter With Gartner.

Unlocking Spiritual Intelligence, Calm Leadership, and AI Resilience in the Workplace In this compelling episode, I sit down with Amy to explore three powerful themes that are reshaping today's workplaces: spiritual intelligence, leading through chaos, and navigating the rise of AI with confidence and compassion. Part 1: Spiritual Intelligence in the Workplace Amy shares her transformational journey—from corporate executive to purpose-driven leader—sparked by a personal spiritual awakening. We dive into how spiritual intelligence can create workplaces that foster well-being, alignment, and sustainable productivity. This isn't about religion—it's about intentional awareness, empathy, and a values-driven culture that fuels human performance. Part 2: Navigating Chaos With Calm and Innovation Together, we examine how calm leadership can be a competitive advantage in uncertain times. Amy introduces the concept of “Edgewalkers”—individuals who thrive on the edge of chaos and help others find clarity amid the noise. I reflect on my own leadership experiences, including how postmortem meetings helped my teams learn from failure and bounce back stronger. Innovation, we agree, often emerges in the messiest moments—if leaders are equipped to lead with presence and poise. Part 3: Addressing AI and Automation Fears With automation accelerating, fear is rising among employees. Amy and I tackle the emotional side of digital transformation, emphasizing the need for leaders to recognize change archetypes within their teams. We discuss how trust, transparency, and emotional intelligence can ease transitions and unlock the creative potential of AI. The future of work isn't just about tech—it's about trust, connection, and leading from within.
