New Partnership: Al Ethics and Human-Centered Design
We're excited to announce our partnership with Neil Chester of Elvorta. Together, we're exploring how organisations can implement Al in ways that are ethical, human-centred, and psychologically sustainable. Our focus includes human judgment and decision ownership in Al-supported environments, trust and resistance to Al adoption, automation bias, and the impact of Al on identity and expertise.

That Friday feeling when you realise something you shared actually landed with people.
I recieved really positive feedback from a recent workshop I ran for a client on fatigue in high-pressure enviroments.
The conversations afterwards reminded me how important these topics are, especially in fast-moving workplaces to support concerns related to staff turnover.

Looking forward to attending the 2026 Workforce Experience Conference next month with The Association for Business Psychology.
The programme looks incredibly strong this year, last time I went was 2024 and I loved it! It will be so lovely to see Claire Lish again!
I am especially looking forward to the conversations around psychological safety, sustainable leadership, workplace wellbeing, organisational systems, AI-disrupted work, and enabling human capability at scale.
A few sessions I’m especially looking forward to include:
Rachel Lewis on the Professional Framework for Workplace Wellbeing
Dannielle Haig on sustainable leadership
Danny Wareham on leadership, particularly following our recent LinkedIn Live conversation exploring veterans and leadership
John Amaechi OBE speaking on the future of work and the “100 year life”

I’m also looking forward to connecting with practitioners, consultants, researchers, and organisational leaders working within AI, Burnout or Fatigue.
The themes this year align closely with the research I’m increasingly focused on which is how AI and organisational systems shape human performance and risk.
Huge credit to the team behind the conference programme including Claire Lish, Mark McCarthy FABP, FRSA, and Dr Dawn H. Nicholson. It will be so lovely to meet Dr Dawn H. Nicholson again after meeting her at the conference we hosted at City St George’s, University of London and the wonderful students that I know will much such an impact in this sector!
If you’re attending too, drop me a message!

Today Karen Mills FMBPsS, CertBP and I had the opportunity to speak at City St George’s, University of London on the transition from academia into practice, exploring visibility, credibility, and opportunity through the lens of psychology, entrepreneurship, and professional identity.
What stood out most to me was how honest the conversations became. We spoke about building credibility beyond titles, translating academic knowledge into real-world value, creating opportunities through relationships, and the reality that careers are rarely linear.
A huge thank you to everyone who was in the room, it was wonderful to meet you all, tagging a few who have connected already: Arianna Chiarello, Zeynep Ercos Laiba Zahra Zaidi, Charlotte Wong.
There’s something genuinely energising about being in a room with people who are questioning, exploring, and trying to work out where they fit professionally.
We also had the pleasure of finally meeting Dr Dawn H. Nicholson and Louis Taylor CPsychol in person, which made the day even more special. Some people feel familiar before you’ve even met them properly, and today definitely felt like one of those moments.
Really grateful to have been part of it alongside Karen Mills FMBPsS, CertBP.

We know mental health matters… but what should you actually be doing as leaders?
Yesterday started with a long drive down to Herefordshire to meet a client over breakfast at The Cosy Club.
We didn’t have a formal agenda. Just a proper conversation about where things are heading and how we move things forward.
On the way down, I also had a catch-up call with Ellice Whyte, I do love a phone call while on the road. Those mid-journey conversations where ideas start to connect… although this one was cut short as the countryside did no favours for my signal.
It’s interesting how often the most valuable progress happens in moments like these, between meetings, on the road, or during a simple breakfast.
Plenty in motion at the moment…

I am really pleased to me spending a few hours a week as Associate Producer of Truth, Lies & Work Podcast.
Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott C.Psychol and Business Owner Al Elliott co-host this number 1 management podcast.
Now… this isn’t a pivot or a “side hustle". It’s a small, intentional space each month where I work behind the scenes on LinkedIn Live panels, support with tech, content, and flow, help bring great conversations (and people) into the room and learn more about podcasting and audience engagement.
This is while staying fully grounded in my core work with Georgia's PsyWork Ltd. around human factors, fatigue, and organisational psychology.
If anything, it complements it, because so much of what we talk about in psychology comes to life in conversations and this is just another way of creating space for those conversations to happen.

I’ve just been featured on a ZED Talks Podcast hosted by Zoë Walters talking about how decisions actually happen under pressure, especially in a world increasingly shaped by AI.Because here’s the reality…We like to think decisions are rational, logical, and controlled.But under pressure they’re shaped by cognitive load, fatigue, heuristics (hello, anchoring 👀), emotional regulation and now… AI suggestions that arrive instantly, confidently, and often unquestioned.
I’d love you to give it a listen and let me know what you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg8ZevRL6IA

My first ever podcast went live on Spotify.
I’ll be honest… I nearly cried listening back.
After some gentle but very wise advice from Dr. Jill McGarry - Sleep specialist “aim for one podcast a month” I finally did the thing I’d been putting off.
I reached out to a long-term friend, said yes to the nerves, and recorded my predictions for 2026.
Huge thank you to Leanne Elliott for believing in me before I fully believed in myself, and to both Leanne Elliott and Al Elliott from Truth, Lies & Work Podcast for the most thoughtful editing and presentation. You made it feel safe, professional, and genuinely me.

Mental Health Awareness Week often encourages us to “start the conversation” but this year’s theme of action feels especially important.
Over the past few months, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside a wellbeing organisation to co-design a Mental Health programme for Mental Health First Aiders.One thing became abundantly clear, many people are being asked to support others emotionally at work without always having the guidance, boundaries or psychological skills to do so safely and sustainably.
Awareness matters but awareness alone is not enough. Action means creating psychologically safe workplaces, helping people recognise the limits of their role, supporting healthy boundaries and ensuring those who support others are also protected themselves.
Some of the most important conversations during this project were about listening safely, responding appropriately, signposting effectively and recognising when support needs to escalate beyond our competence.
A real takeaway for me has been that supporting wellbeing at work should never rely solely on good intentions. It requires structure, training, reflection and ongoing support.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, I’m reflecting on how organisations move from awareness into meaningful action, creating environments where people can support each other safely, ethically and sustainably.

I had the privilege of returning to Nottingham Trent University to deliver a guest lecture to the MSc Occupational Psychology cohort, the very course I once sat in myself.
Years ago I was the one in the audience trying to work out what occupational psychology actually looks like in practice, how people move from the classroom into real work, whether chartership is achievable and how anyone figures out their path in this field.
Standing at the front of that room felt slightly surreal and if I’m honest, it also made me ask myself, am I where I thought I would be when I was sitting in those seats?
The truth is… not exactly. Back then I probably imagined a much neater journey, a clearer path and fewer detours.
I tried to be honest about the journey. Not just the highlights but the lumps and bumps in between. Things like the uncertainty, sideways moves and projects that didn’t quite go to plan. The moments of imposter syndrome and the slow process of building confidence, experience, and a professional identity.
I’ll admit it felt slightly strange talking so much about my own journey…But Bruce Hall, Carlene Andrade, Nadia Gabriel and Zeba A all put me much more at ease with their curiosity!
We spoke about the reality of working in organisational psychology today, from consulting and research, to building a business, navigating the The British Psychological Society Chartership, the Psychology Business Incubator and figuring out where you want to make an impact.
If there’s one thing I hope the students took away, it’s that there isn’t one “correct” path in this profession. There is huge value in staying curious, staying connected, and continuing to learn.
Thank you to the NTU team Jessica S. Dunn, Ph.D., Jasmeet and John Hudson for being so supportive and for the invitation, it was a real privilege to return as an alumni and share part of my journey and thanks to the students: I’m excited to see where your own paths take you.
