Season 3 - we're back with a muddle of James's!To kick the season off, hosts James Lawther and Jimmy Barber explore how we can all use artificial intelligence at work with special guest James Crawford. Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be aware of the promise of AI revolutionising the workplace. This tends to focus on how organisations, governments, or public services will utilise AI and automate various jobs. Today, we explore how we as individuals can use AI to help us get ahead and revolutionise how we work. AI expert James Crawford shares his 5P's model and also explains which AI systems work best for specific jobs. He then discusses some of the uses and best practices he has experienced during his travels. Plus, you'll hear 'what we did last summer', but somewhat less dramatic than the films or songs! So if you're worried about getting left behind in the AI revolution, check this episode out!Got a question - get in touch.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change,  where we explore the invisible forces that shape the way we lead, live, and learn, because real change, as you and I know, always starts on the inside.My guest today is Dr Amy Silver; a clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and a masterful thinker when it comes to fear, patterns, and performance.In this episode, Amy and I explore the idea of fear as the loudest guest in the room—an ever-present voice that can either protect or paralyse us. We talk about what happens when fear becomes the default setting in our teams, our leadership, and our own heads.We also examine how our post-COVID workplaces are stuck in a tension between efficiency and connection, and what it takes to break out of that loop. And, of course, we talk about artificial intelligence: the discomfort it brings, the curiosity it demands, and what it means to use it as a thinking partner rather than a threat.This conversation was wide-ranging, deeply practical, and at times, personal. We talk about journaling, performance reviews, power dynamics, and what it means to build a muscle of courage—one small moment at a time.If you've ever felt that fear has too much say in the way you lead, speak, or even show up at work, this one is for you.And in a special addition to this episode…For the first time, I have asked my thinking partner, ChatGPT, to listen in and share its own reflection at the end. Its take on the episode surprised me—warm, clear, and strangely not complelety inhuman. About AmyLeadership development programs grounded in clinical psychology.

Welcome to The Inner Game of Change, the podcast where we explore the unseen forces that shape how we lead, adapt, and thrive in the face of change and transformation. Each episode is a chance to learn from thinkers, doers, and everyday leaders about what really makes change work — and what keeps it human.My guest is Rebecca Bultsma — an AI ethics researcher, power user, and someone who lives in that space between awe and dread of what AI can do. Rebecca has built her career helping leaders cut through the hype, face the risks, and still find practical, human-centred ways to use this technology without losing their soul or their job.In this episode, we explore the hype and the harm, the messy middle of adoption, and the accountability gaps that every business and every leader needs to face. And at the heart of it all, we talk about what it means to stay radically human in a world that is increasingly shaped by algorithms.I am grateful to have Rebecca chatting with me today. About Rebecca (In her words)The honest truth?I'm an AI Ethics researcher who uses AI all day. Yes, I see the irony. Yes, I'm navigating this contradiction in public. Daily.I help leaders who are somewhere between "AI will save us" and "AI will end us" find their actual footing. No BS, no fear-mongering, just practical strategies for using AI without losing your soul (or your job).What I actually do:Translate tech panic into action plans. I take 20 years of making complex things human-friendly (comms/PR veteran) and mix it with an MSc in AI Ethics from Edinburgh. The result? I can explain why AI is incredible AND terrifying in the same breath - and help you navigate both.The work:Keynotes that don't put you to sleep (50+ delivered, people actually stay awake)Workshops where we actually DO things (not just talk about them)Executive sessions for when you need to admit you don't get it (safe space, I promise)Currently obsessing over: AI governance that doesn't kill innovation, helping teachers not fear GenAI, and explaining to boards why "AI strategy" isn't optional anymore.ContactsRebecca's Profilelinkedin.com/in/rebecca-bultsmaWebsiterebeccabultsma.com/ (Company)Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

How can conversation become a real driver of circular transformation? In this episode, George Marshall explains why conversations are central to circular change and how to design them to build trust, reach across difference, and motivate action. Circular economy strategies often focus on systems and structures but lasting change only happens when people connect new behaviors to their own identity and values. Without shared understanding and engagement, technical solutions risk staying at the surface. Recorded live at the LOOP Forum 2025, his keynote explores how businesses can move beyond top-down messaging to create real dialogue that activates people at every level of an organisation. This episode is part of our series on the LOOP Forum 2025 highlights, bringing you the key ideas and insights from this year's leading Nordic event on circularity.

Show Notes Prof. Manfred Kets de Vries, is a global thought leader, who is best known for applying psychoanalytic thinking to the challenges of leaders and organisations.   He discusses his journey from psychoanalysis to leadership development, the societal forces that shape leaders, and the critical role of emotional awareness in navigating today's volatile landscapes.  Kets de Vries exposes the hidden psychological currents that drive leadership—how unconscious patterns, unresolved trauma, and deep-seated insecurities manifest in boardrooms and political arenas alike. He explores the destructive nature of narcissistic leadership, the rising stress and impatience among CEOs, and the ways in which cultural expectations mold our leaders for better or worse.  Manfred and Simon discuss toxic leadership today, and then focus on what can be done. Manfred shares his experience that ultimately leadership is about relationships—about the capacity for self-awareness, reflection, and genuine connection. In a world where political fault lines deepen, Manfred challenges us not just to analyze leadership from a distance but to engage with it personally—to recognize our own role in shaping the leadership cultures around us. Because leadership isn't just about those at the top; it's about how we choose to show up in our own lives, our communities, and our organizations. Key Reflections Toxic leadership can have devastating effects on organizations and society. Psychoanalysis provides valuable insights into leadership dynamics. Leaders are shaped by societal expectations and cultural contexts. Narcissism in leadership can lead to destructive outcomes. The current political climate reflects deeper societal issues. Stress and impatience are prevalent among CEOs today. Leadership is relational  Creating a good life involves cultivating and appreciating happy moments. Everyone has the potential to make a difference in society.

Everyone loves a good story.

 In this episode, Mon-Chaio and Andy delve into the essential role of storytelling in implementing change and leading an organization. They share examples of effective storytelling and reference theories ranging from Aristotle to environmental sciences. While facts are important, emotional connection, or pathos, is key to persuasive storytelling. They also discuss the dimensions of logos (the logical argument) and ethos (personal character) in storytelling, and reflect on the balance between truth and fiction in narrative creation. The well-crafted story not only motivates change but can improve mental health and support a positive work culture.

These so-called human-centered organizations create superior results and are key for building a better, more conscious and sustainable world.For over 20 years, CRR Global has accompanied leaders, teams, and practitioners on their journey to build stronger relationships by focusing on the relationship itself, not only the individuals occupying it.

In this episode, I speak with Catherine Llewellyn on the ego, inherited belief systems and how you find your true calling.★ Catherine's' Bio: ★ I'm Catherine.  My lifelong passion for human evolving and transformation began at age 6, encouraged by my wildly bohemian upbringing and a variety of catalytic encounters with radical thought leaders.  This path delivered extraordinary experiences, challenges and learnings in my work and personal life. Following a rebellious and somewhat mad adolescence, I fell upon Robert D'Aubigny's extraordinary and ground-breaking Exegesis Programme.  For the first time I was in a group situation, emphasising consciousness, self-awareness and personal transformation.  Wow.  Life-changing.  I stuck around with the people I met there for a good 20 years, exploring how those values could be applied in work situations as well as in personal lives.  Across those 20 years I evolved from a voice trainer, through HR Director, Marketing Director and Team-building Trainer - to  Organisational Change consultant and facilitator, and finally Board level facilitator and executive coach.  A meaty transition to be sure.  Much growth was involved, tears and laughter - it was all very real.I still love my work and don't anticipate stopping until they cart me off.  Mentoring, group work, energy and movement practices ~ these all work together beautifully.  For my clients, and for me personally.I live in rural Wales with three cats and a ridiculous population of birds and sheep, all singing their hearts out on a regular basis.  Delightful.  Sometimes there are yellow roses in the hedges.Connect with Catherine:https://truthandtranscendence.buzzsprout.com/https://beingspace.worldhttps://www.facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld
