What does it really mean to lead with AI?

In this episode of the Work Differently Imagined podcast, we’re delighted to welcome special guest Kevonne Holloway, Managing Director of Elsevier’s Global Content Partners.

Kevonne and her team are at the forefront of integrating AI into their work, developing content for Elsevier’s books, eBooks, and digital solutions.

She joins us to share her insights on how we can leverage AI as leaders today to drive innovation and change.

This episode is packed with valuable insights on leading through technological transformation and the future of AI in the workplace.

In this episode, we explore how shifts in technology, team structure, and global collaboration are reshaping how we think about teams - and how we lead them.

We are exploring topics such as:

⚡ The impact of agentic AI as a team member

⚡ Leading teams that shift and evolve over time

⚡ Creating clarity and performance through coaching and feedback

⚡ What leadership really requires now - and what's coming for 2030 and beyond

We also welcomed Ross Hunter to join us for the show. Ross is Founder of @LIVIS, a human behaviour analytics company transforming how organisations understand and improve performance. At WDI Consulting, we’re partnering with Ross to enhance an evidence based approach to Executive team coaching and one-to-one performance coaching.

This is a conversation for anyone rethinking how to lead effectively in a fast-changing environment.

In this episode, we're exploring one of the most powerful drivers of engagement, wellbeing, and high performance: a sense of meaning in the work we do. As we look ahead to 2030 and beyond, the ability to lead with purpose and create meaningful work environments is becoming not just a nice-to-have, but essential.

Hosted by WDI Consulting, Clare Russell and @Steph Robin this episode features a rich conversation with special guest @Angela Rixon, author of Meaning Over Purpose: The CEO’s Strategic Blueprint for Growth and Lasting Engagement.

Together, we’ll be asking:

• What’s the difference between meaning and purpose - and why does that distinction matter?
• How can you help your team feel their contribution truly counts?
• Why will leading with meaning matter even more in the future of work?

Welcome to the Work Differently Imagined podcast, where we explore how thriving at work helps us perform at our best together. 

In series two we are focusing on what we need to know now to lead successfully in 2030 and beyond. 

In this episode, Clare is joined by special guest @Elie Rashbass, CEO and Co-founder of ScultureAI, an innovative AI coaching platform designed to embed culture directly into the flow of work. At @WDI Consulting, we’re partnering with Elie and his team to scale culture transformation and drive real, lasting impact.

We dive into:

🔹 Why creating strong, values-led workplace cultures is harder than ever

🔹 How AI is becoming an unexpected ally in making culture change stick

🔹 What leaders need to do now to stay ahead in an AI-driven world of work

In this episode we are talking about the leadership experience of feeling we need to forever adapt, lead and work faster, leading to individual and arguably a culturally chronic experience of overwhelm for many. 

Are you over the overwhelm?  How do you interpret this symptom of our workplace? And if you dig underneath it, what can you learn to create sustainable thriving?

Welcome to the Work Differently Imagined podcast, where we explore how thriving at work helps us perform at our best together. 

Clare Russell and co-host Steph Robin and guests explorekey topics from the world of work that matter. In series two we are focusing on what we need to know now to lead successfully in 2030 and beyond.

What are the skills of a change ready leader that we all need to craft and develop, what might we need to unlearn? How can you make change leadership something that is no longer a burden to carry, but something that becomes a beacon for hope, possibility and a thriving future? 

In our final episode in our series on change, we bring together the different threads of the podcast series and look at how you can build your change leadership skill and mind set.

Are you grappling with a change that goes beyond your team? A change that impacts entire functions, cultures, or ways of working.

In this episode of the Work Differently Imagined podcast we’re exploring what it really takes to lead change that reshapes an organisation and how to make sure people aren't left behind in the process.

We're joined by special guest Elaine Bartlett, HR Operations Director at Maximus UK. With 20+ years’ experience leading people strategy through major change across global organisations, Elaine brings hard-won insights into how to make change stick - not just on paper, but in practice.

Tune in to discover how can you build resilience, clarity, and connection in times of upheaval.

Are you leading your team through a change, or maybe yet another change in a long line of transitions?

➡️ Are you noticing signs of change fatigue?

➡️ Friction between team members that’s starting to impact performance?

➡️ Wondering how to reset and re-energise the team around new goals?

In this episode of the Work Differently Imagined podcast we explore what it takes to lead well during times of transition when the old ways no longer fit, and the new ways haven’t yet taken hold.

Have you ever faced a career change that wasn’t part of your plan?

➡️ A restructure that reshaped your role?

➡️ A redundancy that left you reeling?

➡️ Life changes - health, caring, or even a surprise move - that pulled you in a different direction?

In this episode of the Work Differently Imagined podcast, we’re exploring the often uncomfortable world of unchosen career change and how to navigate it with resilience and purpose.

When was the last time you went for a promotion, took the risk to take a lateral move or perhaps a full careerpivot? What was it like?  Was it planned or did an opportunity come to you that was too good to say no to?  What did you learn from the experience?

Our careers are increasingly places where we need to be agile, and expect more change rather than less. Today we dive into how to do chosen career changes well.
