Episode Description

**Record a question for Amantha’s next Ask Me Anything here: https://www.speakpipe.com/howiwork ** 

It’s harder than ever to cut through in the workplace – whether you’re job hunting, leading a team, or simply trying to keep up with AI. In this AMA episode, I answer your questions on how to thrive in today’s world of work. 

In this episode, I share: 

  • How to differentiate yourself in a crowded job market where AI is levelling CVs and cover letters. 
  • What really makes a high performing team today – from psychological safety to energy management. 
  • How to define and develop critical thinking skills in the age of AI. 
  • My best tips for stepping into leadership for the first time – from running one-on-ones to avoiding the trap of giving too much advice. 

Amantha Recommends 

  • Loom: My favourite quick video tool for making job applications stand out and for capturing thinking in real time. 
  • Tella: A polished way to create video proposals or audition tasks 
  • The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier: A simple, practical guide to shifting from advice-giving to coaching with better questions. Grab a copy here
  • Glad We Met by Steven Rogelberg: Hands down the best book I’ve read on running effective one-on-ones. Get it here
