The Real Cost of Politeness in the Age of AI
In a world increasingly shaped by AI, a simple question, should we still say โpleaseโ and โthank youโ to machines? Inspired by a post from Julian Mather, this reflection explores why small acts of civility arenโt just about etiquette, theyโre daily decisions that protect our emotional wellbeing, preserve our shared humanity, and remind us of the power of conscious kindness.

Closing a Chapter: Reflections from the PSA Boardroom
How to get people to do what they promised...without shaming them
Picture this. You have your weekly one on one. Your team member promises to complete the inventory report for the project by next week. Next week arrives and itโs not done. What do you say? Is it, โWhy didnโt you complete the report?โ If youโre like most leaders, thatโs exactly what youโd say. Or at least, itโs what you want to say.
Why diverse teams have the worst time
We know that diverse teams deliver the goods. Science knows it. Academia knows it. And anyone whoโs worked on a diverse team knows it. But what we don'tโ talk enough about, is how it feels to be a part of this diversity. If we are doing our job, showing up with ideas, challenging other team members, and generally pushing ourselves and each other to be brilliant, then diversity feels difficult. There is push back. There is scepticism. There is discomfort. BUT...if we can just hang in there long enough, trust our colleagues enough, and have faith that we all want to make a positive difference, then we can reap the rewards that diversity offers.
What does gender bias 'in the system' really look like?
When it comes to gender equity, the most elusive part of the problem is the invisibility of the real problem โ the second-generation bias that pushes implicit bias underground. This kind of bias is the policy and procedure and the โway we do things around hereโ that gets woven into the fabric of the organisational culture.
Implicit bias however remains in the shadows. Hard to spot until someone deliberately shines a torch on it. Itโs time to get our torches out and shine a spotlight on the hidden obstacles for women. Those that are stuck in the systems, ingrained in our cultures and waiting to create confusion about whatโs really going on for women at work.
