  • Why Capable Women Get Passed Over at Work - And the 6-Step Framework to Fix It

    Why Capable Women Get Passed Over at Work - And the 6-Step Framework to Fix It
    May 24 2026
    Most capable women aren't being passed over because they lack experience. They're being passed over because they can't articulate the problems they solve. After 12 years sitting on the other side of the hiring table, I'll tell you the truth: the women who get chosen aren't always the most experienced. They're the ones with the clearest story. In this episode, I break down the 6-step framework I use inside the Bold Move Career Accelerator to help senior women build a positioning story that makes them undeniable. ___________ 👉 Get your free Market Readiness Score - 90 seconds, 4-signal audit.

  • The Pink-Collar AI Crisis: IBM's CTO Warns Women "Use AI Now or Get Leapfrogged"

    The Pink-Collar AI Crisis: IBM's CTO Warns Women "Use AI Now or Get Leapfrogged"
    May 17 2026
    Pink-collar jobs, admin, customer service, reception, teaching, and nursing are overwhelmingly held by women. They're also the roles most exposed to AI disruption right now. And the data shows women are using AI less than men. That's the leapfrog risk. And IBM's Chief Technology Officer for Australia and New Zealand wants every woman listening to understand it before the gap gets bigger. In this episode of AI Ready Women, Georgie Hubbard and Lou Compagnoni sit down with Angelica Veness, the CTO who openly says she can't code, and built her career through human-centred design instead. Angelica breaks down what's actually happening in the AI economy, where women are getting locked out, and the exact steps to move from AI-cautious to AI-curious to AI-queen… starting this week. ____________ ✨60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator✨ Learn More here 👉 https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves ____________ 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com ____________ Connect with Lou Compagnone: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/ ____________ Connect with Angelica Vaness: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelica-veness-9866519/ 🟣 Free AI Learning: https://skillsbuild.org ____________ In Today's Episode: → Why "I'm a CTO who can't code" is a strategic position, not a confession → The pink-collar exposure: which roles are most at risk and why women hold most of them → The leapfrog problem — graduates are entering the workforce already AI-fluent.

  • The Career Secrets Women Learn Too Late: with 7-Eleven's CEO, UniSuper's CPO & EY's AI Enablement Lead

    The Career Secrets Women Learn Too Late: with 7-Eleven's CEO, UniSuper's CPO & EY's AI Enablement Lead
    May 10 2026
    There are career lessons that change everything. And most women don't learn them until it's too late. You've worked hard. You've stayed loyal. You've done everything right. But somewhere along the way, the rules changed. And nobody told you. This episode is the live recording from Fearless & Future Ready, our Sisterhood Social event featuring three of Australia's most influential women in business and AI. One of them has never had a set career plan. One spent 26 years at Telstra before becoming a CEO. One is driving AI adoption across 10,000 people. And all three sat in a room and told the truth. This is the conversation most women don't get access to until it's too late. ___________ 🟣 Want to Work With Me? The 60 Day Bold Move Career Accelerator: https://www.georgiehubbard.com/bold-moves ___________ ✨ Grab the Book 📚 The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ___________ Connect with Georgie: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ 🟪 Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ♦️ Website: https://www.georgiehubbard.com ___________ Connect with Pam Caldwell: 🔵 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loucompagnone/ ___________ Connect with our Panelists: 🔵 Fiona Hayes — CEO, 7-Eleven Australia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fiona-hayes-a80718b/ 🔵 Julie Watkins — CPO, UniSuper: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-watkins/ 🔵 Erin Ashton — AI Enablement Leader, EY: https://www.linkedin.com/in/efogg/ ___________ What You'll Discover: 🟣 None of them felt ready when they got the role. They said yes anyway, and what made the difference wasn't confidence. It was the support network around them. 🟣 The real answer to the question every ambitious woman is afraid to ask, do you have to sacrifice everything to reach the top? Three C-suite women answered it honestly in the room. 🟣 How women stand out during uncertainty, and why the professionals who get noticed aren't always the hardest working, they're the most visible and the most willing to own a problem. 🟣 How these women created roles that didn't exist by making themselves known, speaking up, solving problems nobody asked them to solve, and taking ownership before they were given permission. 🟣 Julie Watkins has never had a set career plan. What she has instead — and why it's worked better than any plan ever could. 🟣 Fiona Hayes spent 26 years at Telstra, including 12 on the executive team, before becoming CEO of 7-Eleven in 2024. What she learned about making yourself impossible to overlook. 🟣 Erin Ashton is driving AI adoption across 10,000 people at EY. What she's seeing inside Australia's biggest organisations right now — and what it means for your career. 🟣 How Australia's biggest companies are thinking about AI — and what it actually means for the women inside those organisations. 🟣 Why your support network is not a nice to have. It is the career decision that changes everything. ___________ Meet the Panellists: Fiona Hayes — CEO & Managing Director, 7-Eleven Australia 26 years at Telstra including 12 on the executive team. Appointed CEO of 7-Eleven in 2024. A leader who built her career by showing up, solving problems and making herself impossible to overlook. Julie Watkins — Chief People Officer, UniSuper Senior executive across sectors, geographies and boards. Has never had a set career plan. Passionate about the role executive women play in shaping the future of work. Erin Ashton — AI Enablement Leader, EY Oceania Driving AI adoption across 10,000 people at EY. Helping organisations move from talking about AI to actually using it with confidence and impact. ___________ If this episode resonated, share it with one woman in your life who needs to hear it right now. The future belongs to the women who are ready for it. Let's make sure that's you. Georgie 💜
