Are we asking the right questions about AI? With Sam Everington and Isabel Parker 42:10

5d ago42:10

42:10

Friend or threat? Help or hindrance? Possibilities or problems? The headlines about artificial intelligence often force us to fit the technology into one of two columns. It’s going to be good or bad. It’s going to be us or the robots. But as with most things in life, it’s not that simple. Is it time to change the conversation about AI to one that’s…

How do we fuel our future? With Alistair Dormer and Susan McDonald 41:07

2M ago41:07

41:07

Getting people to change how they do things can be hard, even if everyone agrees that things need to change. Take energy transition, for example. The case for switching to greener, more renewable sources of energy is well-made. And well-understood. But whether it’s in your own home or the business you work in and lead, the challenge is now how do w…

Do elections change anything? With Caroline Flint and Ian Stewart 40:20

2M ago40:20

40:20

Every five years, we put a cross on a piece of paper – and put it in a ballot box. It’s a democratic right. A civic duty. An opportunity to have a say on what matters to us in our communities. 2024 is a big year for elections. Because more of us than ever before will be going to the polls around the globe. In the US. The UK. India. Taiwan. Mexico. …

How do we stay safe online? With Amanda Storey and Nick Seeber 46:14

2M ago46:14

46:14

Can you imagine your life without the internet? It’s a platform that’s brought about enormous benefits over the years. The internet has opened up opportunities for millions of us worldwide, from being able to find information and expressing ourselves to transforming the way we do business. But for kids, the internet can sometimes be a confusing, up…

What are the new survival skills? With Bear Grylls and Shilpa Shah 40:19

3M ago40:19

40:19

Once we huddled around campfires, now we huddle around phone screens. Once we hunted and gathered, now there’s an app for that. Once we used the stars to navigate the wild, now we’re in a digital jungle. Modern technology has managed to make our lives easier and more complicated all at the same time. And then there’s the emerging technology to keep…

Are leaders born or made? With Jonathan Mildenhall and Tim Clayton-Ball 46:40

3M ago46:40

46:40

When we think of great leaders, influential visionaries come to mind. Pioneers in the corporate world. People who take risks, open doors and inspire others to step into their footsteps. But is the concept of a leader changing? And is it about finding who you are as a leader vs trying to fit into expectations of what a leader should be? In this epis…

What comes first, vision or buy-in? With Sir Clive Woodward and Jess Dooley 39:53

5M ago39:53

39:53

Every one of us has dreams. A desire to make a difference on the things that matter to us. A vision for change, from the project we’re working on to our local community. Without action, a vision will merely be a dream. But a vision that many people believe in? Now that can change the world – ask any great leader. So how do you get this buy-in? Shou…

How do you get to where you want to be? With Aziza Ajak and Ben Newton 43:32

6M ago43:32

43:32

Astronaut. Dancer. Footballer. Pop star. Many of us will remember our childhood ambitions. But then life happens. We get an education. We’re forced to make a choice between one route or another. Wherever we want to get to, or redirect to, it’s about knowing what we want – and feeling capable. It’s about knowing where we could be – and feeling suppo…

How do you make the most of momentum? With Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Bridge 38:25

6M ago38:25

38:25

It’s hard to beat the feeling of momentum building around something you care about. That positive energy and progress towards hitting your goals and climbing to new heights is infectious. It builds confidence and motivation – leading to even more success. But momentum can be gone just as quick as it arrives. So how do you build on it when it matter…

Who's responsible for being responsible? With Mary Portas and Emily Cromwell 42:30

6M ago42:30

42:30

How do you make change happen? And not just any change. We’re talking about a systemic shift towards living, working and doing business more sustainably. Does it start with us? What about the companies supplying the products and services we buy? Should they change their ways in response to demand - or lead the way because it’s the right thing to do…

What makes you feel like you belong? With Justice Williams MBE and Josh Graham 41:51

7M ago41:51

41:51

We all want to belong. At school. In our friendship groups. Our gym class. At work. It’s what makes us human. Instead, we often settle for fitting in. We edit who we are. Shapeshift to match the world around us. Or present a version of us that might be more ‘acceptable’ to others. And if you’re black, it's likely that you’ve spent a big part of you…

What if we all live to 100? With Professor Tim Spector OBE and Sara Siegel 38:09

7M ago38:09

38:09

Global life expectancy has risen by over 50% since 1950. And one in three children born in 2016 will live to 100. But what will more of us living for longer actually look like? It could look amazing. More time to achieve everything we want to achieve. See everything we want to see. Spend time with our loved ones. But there’s lots to consider if we’…

Should leaders think more like activists? With Jon Miller and Laura Grootenboer 40:57

8M ago40:57

40:57

Protests. Megaphones. Cardboard messages. Boardrooms. When we think of activism, we imagine protestors on the streets – not C-suite executives. But is that right? From climate change to inequality, today’s challenges have become critical – and so has the role of organisations in them. In this episode, we explore a new kind of leadership by talking …

Does being you get easier with age? With James Barr and Mags Scott 35:25

10M ago35:25

35:25

Growing up is a tough gig. We’re constantly learning about the world around us – and our place in it. What we like. What we don’t like. Who we are. Who we are not. But what if our differences feel too… different? What if who we are deep down isn’t the mainstream we’re seeing in society? And if you identify as LGBTQ+, we know it’s anything but easy.…

What does it take to make an idea a success? With Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez and Sadia Ahmed 35:53

10M ago35:53

35:53

We all have ideas. Even when we say we don’t. They pop up in the shower, on a dog walk or just as we’re nodding off to sleep. It could be an innovation that makes serious headway in the fight against climate change. A new piece of tech that opens up a world of possibilities. Or something completely different, that could make the world better for al…

What’s the truth behind financial crime? With David Fein and Sir Rob Wainright 35:21

11M ago35:21

35:21

We often think financial crime is victimless. Something that affects big banks. And is mainly about losing money. Or is it? What if we told you that everyday fraud adds up to something much bigger and darker? That behind every transaction, there’s a huge societal and human cost? Financial crime is on the rise. And thanks to the internet, the scale …

Can one person change a big business? With Alan Jope and Sharon Thorne 47:16

12M ago47:16

47:16

Steve Jobs. Anita Roddick. Yvon Chouinard. Mary Portas. There are many inspiring examples of business leaders who have changed the world through their work. We admire their successes. Quote them in our presentations. Read about their morning routines. They make us want to make a difference too. But making real change is easier said than done. On th…

What’s the secret to changing behaviours? With Richard Shotton and Stuart West 40:59

12M ago40:59

40:59

We spend our days reacting, responding, pivoting. To the latest trends, headlines and/or that urgent email in your inbox. It’s not you – it’s your brain. It’s how we’re wired. But understanding why we all behave the way we do is incredibly powerful. It allows us to align with the things that matter to us most – from personal change to climate chang…

Can AI help us be more human? With Sandra Wachter and Sulabh Soral 34:30

1y ago34:30

34:30

Autocorrect. Chatbots. Social media feeds. E-payments. Facial recognition. These are just some examples of artificial intelligence we come across daily. 50 years ago, its possibilities seemed like science fiction to us. Now, it’s quickly permeating almost every sphere of our personal and working lives. Some days, we get excited about its tremendous…

Does when we’re born affect how we work? With Bobby Duffy and Shivani Maitra 43:38

1y ago43:38

43:38

Baby boomers. Generation X. Millennials. Gen Z. And make way for Generation Alpha… Labels can help us understand the world, but they often become unhelpful generalisations – especially at work. So where do these stereotypes come from? And just how accurate are they? To help us sort ‘sweeping generalisation’ from ‘trends sweeping generations’, we’ve…

Would more of us thrive in a circular economy? With Hege Sæbjørnsen and James Pennington 35:28

1+ y ago35:28

35:28

We often say we’re going round in circles like it’s a bad thing. But it might just be the key to a better future for our planet – and the people on it. That’s the idea behind switching to a circular economy. But what would that new economy look like? And what can we do to make it happen? Tune in to find out: What a circular economy really looks lik…

Could my money move the world? With Anneka Deva and Louise Brett 39:58

1+ y ago39:58

39:58

Money shapes the world – from our savings accounts to big investment decisions. But many of us don’t feel confident when it comes to money. And that’s a shame. Because our decisions about money are one of the most powerful ways to ignite change. So where do we start? Tune in to find out: What Anneka wishes she’d known about investing sooner The cha…

How can we be better at amplifying underrepresented voices? With Antonia Forster and Tolu Osinubi 50:34

1+ y ago50:34

50:34

Our stories matter. Sharing them is one way in which we can change the world for the better. The trouble is, some stories are represented more than others. So, how do we change that? What can we do to be better allies, to create space and to ensure that all voices are heard? Tune in to find out: What ‘intersectionality’ means and why it’s important…

What makes a great place to live and work? With Andy Burnham and Jo Ahmed 40:04

1+ y ago40:04

40:04

Beautiful green spaces. Vibrant high street. Good schools. Easy commutes. We all look for different things when weighing up where to live and work. Some parts of the UK have always been seen as more attractive than others. How can we change that? How could the plan to ‘level up’ get us there?

Where do you start when everything matters? With Hannah Jones and Kat Lampen 49:03

2y ago49:03

49:03

Who doesn’t love ticking things off the to do list? But when it gets a bit too long, overwhelm can take over. It’s the same when we think of the planet too. We all want to make a difference, but it’s hard to know where to start. So how do we make meaningful progress – and fast? Tune in to find out… • What Hannah learned about tough decisions over h…

Could technology make us more active? With Judy Murray and Mark Lillie 41:37

2y ago41:37

41:37

Lots of us spend (too) many hours sitting behind a computer for our jobs. And then spend our free time scrolling on our smartphones. Dropping concentration levels. Rising obesity rates. Mental health issues. It’s clear that we’d all benefit from less time on our devices and more time being active. Technology isn’t all bad though. There are some fan…

Will the metaverse make work better? With Aigerim Shorman and Ed Greig 34:36

2y ago34:36

34:36

For some, the arrival of the metaverse seems like the plot of a sci-fi blockbuster. It’s exciting but it can be hard to grasp. Is it just the natural evolution of hybrid working? Or is it something more revolutionary? If used in the right way, does the metaverse have the potential to make work better? Tune in to find out… What George and Ethan deci…

How is the conversation about disability at work changing? With Mark Hodgkinson and Zeinab Chaudhary 48:33

2+ y ago48:33

48:33

Talking about disability at work isn’t something new. But how has the conversation changed over the years? And is it changing fast enough? There are 14.1 million disabled people in the UK. That’s one in five. And it’s something that can affect us all - whether personally, or through friends, family, and colleagues. The world of work is changing rap…

Many of us are trying to change something. No matter who we are or where we live, we want to make our corner of the world a little bit better for those around us.

How do we create work that’s good for our wellbeing? With Jolawn Victor and Jackie Henry 45:18

2+ y ago45:18

45:18

Hybrid working. It sounds like the shiny solution to what the future of work is going to look like. But we wouldn’t blame you if you felt part excited, part wondering how it’s all going to work. The past 18 months or so have been challenging. But hey, we’ve learnt some valuable lessons about what we really want from work. Next stop: taking those p…

What’s the secret to performing at your best? With Laura Kenny CBE and Joanna Lockard 45:28

3y ago45:28

45:28

Many of us can relate to taking pride in performing to the highest level we’re capable of. Writing the best essay we can at school. Running that 5k in the park against the clock every Saturday. Nailing our first 100 days in the new job, even if we’re still learning. Doing the best we can – every single day. But what does it take to be the best you …

What does it mean to be responsible? There’s no right answer. In fact, it’s easy to get it wrong. Every day we make decisions. Driven by what we believe in. What we stand for.
