Career Confidence

The job market is resetting... fast. AI, hybrid work and global competition are rewriting roles that once felt safe. Most organisations now use AI somewhere in the business; skills in AI-exposed jobs are changing far faster than in other roles, and millions of jobs will be reshaped by 2027. This episode shows you how to stay ahead, not just keep up.

I’m Georgie Hubbard, author of The Bold Move: Build Confidence and Reinvent Your Career in the Age of AI. After a decade in recruitment and 8 years running my agency, I’m breaking down the 3 shifts you need to future-proof your career:

- Reinvent strategically using your transferable skills (stop thinking job titles, start thinking capabilities).

- Double down on human skills: confidence, communication, EQ, leadership.

- Build an opportunity ecosystem: brand, network, visibility, so roles come to you.

If you want to be the 1% who pivot faster, stay relevant, and earn trust in the AI era, this is your roadmap.

She shares stories from her book featuring 30 diverse female founders worldwide, including one who was told being pregnant would be a 'liability' for fundraising. But this isn't just about the struggles. Lisa breaks down practical strategies for:

• Using AI as your personal career coach

• Building resilience through strategic rejection

• Creating visibility without becoming an 'influencer'

• Developing the sales skills that actually move the needle

• How to reframe rejection as your secret weapon

These aren’t fluffy affirmations or quick fixes, they’re evidence-based strategies that will help you:

✅ Reframe fear so it becomes fuel, not a barrier.

✅ Build your “evidence vault” to remind yourself you already belong.

✅ Upskill with purpose so you stay relevant, confident, and in control.

✅ And finally, use visualisation to train your mind for success before it even happens.

Because imposter syndrome doesn’t show up when you’re playing small. It shows up when you’re growing, stretching, and doing something bold. So if you’ve been doubting yourself lately, this video will help you rebuild confidence, silence self-doubt, and take your next bold move.
