What Microsoft's CEO and 7-Eleven's CEO Just Told Us About AI

AI is changing every career, and the CEO of Microsoft just told us something that should change how you think about yours. Plus what the CEO of 7-Eleven, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and the Head of AI at EY are really saying about the future of work, AI for women, and staying relevant in the age of AIIn this episode, Georgie and Lou debrief two major events: Lou's experience at the Microsoft AI Tour, where Satya Nadella delivered a keynote on the future of agentic AI, and Georgie's 10th Sisterhood Social featuring Fiona Hayes (CEO of 7-Eleven Australia), Julie Watkins (Chief People Officer at UniSuper), and Erin Ashton (Head of AI Enablement at EY).What they discovered was fascinating. And a little bit unsettling. Because while some women are confidently experimenting with AI and feeling ahead of the curve, others are quietly falling behind, confused about what tools to learn, overwhelmed by the pace of change, and wondering if they're about to become irrelevant.This episode is about understanding that gap. It's about knowing what's actually happening inside organisations right now. It's about where to focus your energy. And it's about making sure you don't burn out while trying to keep up.____________Timestamps00:00 The CEOs you need to hear from right now00:45 Inside Georgie's Sisterhood Social: Fiona Hayes, Julie Watkins & EY03:37 The two types of women in every AI conversation04:47 Adopting AI vs adapting because of it (Lou's framework)07:13 Why most organisations are still scratching the surface11:10 The cognitive load crisis: why AI is leaving women exhausted15:59 What Georgie's wearable revealed about AI and sleep18:21 Satya Nadella: AI is the new fax-to-email shift19:57 The New Zealand Telehealth story: AI holding people while they wait23:45 Why human skills now matter more than technical skills25:59 The question that made the whole room go silent31:15 Microsoft, neural implants, and resisting becoming machines32:51 Why your zigzag career is your greatest asset35:05 Why sticking with one AI tool is the smartest move____________📚 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/____________Your Next Step:If this episode resonated with you, reach out to Lou and me on LinkedIn.
