EP 80: The Skills AI Can’t Replace (And Why They Matter More Than Ever) with Sonia Clarke
<p>As AI takes over more of what we do at work, the question isn't whether your job will change. It's whether you're developing the skills that machines simply can't replicate.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I sit down with Sonia Clarke, collaboration designer, facilitator and founder of Clever Manka, to explore what it really means to work well with other humans and why that skill has never mattered more. With over two decades of experience helping organisations communicate, think and work better together, Sonia brings a perspective that is equal parts rigorous and deeply human.</p><p><br></p><p>We get into why good collaboration never just happens, what the MIT research on high performing teams actually tells us, and why the way we work today was designed for factories — not knowledge workers. We also explore Sonia's upcoming book The Collective Code, which makes the case that there is another way to work, and it might be closer to how people worked hundreds of years ago than we think.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Topics</strong></p><ul><li>Why good collaboration has to be intentionally designed and what most organisations get wrong</li><li>The three things MIT research found in every high performing team</li><li>Why the modern work day was built for factories and is fundamentally broken for knowledge work</li><li>The human skills that will matter most as AI reshapes the workforce</li><li>How to build trust and deeper relationships in hybrid and remote environments</li><li>What collectives are, why they're growing, and what they mean for the future of work</li><li>Why women are leaving the workforce — and why that should concern all of us</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>About Sonia</strong></p><p>Sonia Clarke is a collaboration designer, facilitator, writer, yoga and meditation teacher, and the founder of Clever Manka. With more than two decades of experience helping organisations communicate, think and work better together, Sonia brings a unique blend of corporate expertise and human-centred leadership. Her career spans senior leadership roles including Director at PwC's Future of Work Practice and leader of its creative communications business. She is the author of The Collective Code newsletter and is currently writing a book of the same name — exploring the human skills that will matter most as technology continues to reshape how we live and work.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Sonia</strong></p><ul><li>LinkedIn: <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/sonia-clarke">linkedin.com/in/sonia-clarke</a> </li></ul><ul><li>Substack: <a href="https://soniaclarke.substack.com/">substack.soniaclarke.com</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p><ul><li>Humankind by Rutger Bregman</li></ul><ul><li>John Demartini Values Process </li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>collaboration, future of work, human skills, AI, collective intelligence, remote work, hybrid work, trust, wellbeing, leadership</p>

EP 79: Burnout Isn't the Price of Success, It's a Sign You're Doing It Wrong with Alex Davids- Neuroscience Expert
<p>What if burnout isn't the price of success — but actually a sign you're doing it wrong?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode I sit down with Alex Davids, founder of Next Evolution Performance and high performance coach to CEOs and executives across the globe, to challenge one of the most persistent myths in leadership culture. That working yourself into the ground is what it takes to get to the top.</p><p><br></p><p>Alex brings over 20 years of experience combining psychology, applied neuroscience and business strategy — and her message is clear. True high performers don't burn out. They learn to understand how their brain works, build recovery into their day, and operate in a way that is sustainable for the long haul. We get into the neuroscience of decision making under pressure, why your values and your behaviours are probably telling two very different stories, and the surprisingly simple tools that can completely change the way you perform and lead. This one is practical, science-backed and full of things you can do today.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>KEY TOPICS</strong></p><ul><li>Why burnout is not a badge of honour — it's a sign your performance isn't actually sustainable</li><li>How AI is creating a brand new kind of burnout that nobody is talking about</li><li>The neuroscience of what happens to your brain under pressure — and the fastest way back</li><li>A simple values exercise using nothing but sticky notes and your bank account</li><li>Why the brain can only truly do deep work for four to five hours a day — and what to do about it</li><li>Three non-negotiables Alex gives every leader: breath, phone-free focus time, and real recovery breaks</li><li> The difference between control and choice — and why it changes everything</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>CONNECT WITH ALEX </strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://nextevolutionperformance.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">nextevolutionperformance.com </a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/high-performance-coach-alexandra-davids-neperform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Alexandra Davids</a> </p><p>Free monthly webinars: 20 minutes of neuroscience and leadership content + 20 minutes live Q&A — recordings available.

EP 78: Why So Many Successful People Still Feel Unhappy with ex pro sufer Cooper Chapman
<p>What if the success you've been chasing is sitting on the wrong mountain entirely?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode I sit down with Cooper Chapman, former professional surfer, founder of The Good Human Factory and author of The One Percent Good Club, to talk about one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves — why do so many successful people still feel unhappy?</p><p><br></p><p>Cooper spent years ranked in the top hundred surfers in the world, doing what he loved, living what looked like a dream life from the outside. But internally, he was riding a rollercoaster that tied his entire sense of self-worth to his results. It wasn't until he shifted from chasing external achievement to living by his values that everything changed.</p><p><br></p><p>Since then he has delivered wellbeing programs to over 75,000 students, spoken at the United Nations, and built a free global gratitude community with over 5,000 members. His message is simple, practical and backed by science — and this episode is full of it</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Topics</strong></p><ul><li>Why basing your identity and self-worth on achievement is a trap — and what to anchor to instead</li><li>The five values Cooper identifies as fundamental for good mental health</li><li>The treadmill of life — why mental health requires daily action, not just awareness</li><li>Why high performers are especially vulnerable to a dysregulated nervous system</li><li>The one habit Cooper says has had the biggest impact on his mental health</li><li>How to build deeper connection in a world that's wider but lonelier than ever</li><li>The simple, free foundations that will move the needle on your wellbeing before any gadget or hack will</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>About Cooper</strong></p><p>Cooper Chapman is the founder of The Good Human Factory, a movement dedicated to improving mental health through simple, practical habits. A former professional surfer ranked in the top hundred in the world, Cooper's own mental health journey sparked a passion for making wellbeing accessible and actionable. He is the author of The One Percent Good Club, and has delivered wellbeing programs to over 75,000 students and more than 100 organisations including Apple, Telstra, Red Bull, Amazon and Westpac. He has spoken at the United Nations Climate Change Conference and hosts the Good Humans Podcast.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Cooper</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">thegoodhumanfactory.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegoodhumanfactory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@thegoodhumanfactory</a></p><p>Book: T<a href="https://www.thegoodhumanfactory.com/products/1-good-club-book" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">he One Percent Good Club</a> — available on Amazon or signed copies at thegoodhumanfactory.com. </p>
