**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. 

Have a question you want me to answer in the next AMA episode? Reach out via email (amantha@inventium.com.au) or socials – I’d love to hear from you! 

 

For more on this, check out my AI slop episode - where I unpack why flooding the world with AI-generated content isn’t the same as creating something meaningful. (Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts) 

And if the critical thinking bit struck a chord, my chat with futurist Bob Johansen is a great follow-up. He shares how to see AI as augmented intelligence - you plus AI, not you versus AI. Tune in here.
