What Makes a Relationship Good? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes a relationship good? I started thinking about this after watching an interview with a TV hostess.Back in the nineties, she was known as a party girl, famous for her scandals and questionable hairstyles. So I was genuinely surprised to find a refined woman, exquisitely dressed, with a fabulous hairstyle, sitting in front of the camera.During the interview, she spoke openly about her traumatic childhood, her problematic family, her struggles with mental health, and her marriage.About tw
Why You Need an AI Strategy More Than You Need an AI Policy. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is something I’ve been thinking about when it comes to the way we talk about responsible use of AI.We seem to move very quickly from “AI is changing how we work” to “we need a policy.”Should we disclose that we use AI? Should we write an AI statement? Should we have a policy about what we use AI for? Should we prohibit certain tools? Should we create a list of things that AI is allowed to do and things that it is not allowed to do?These are all legitimate questions. But I think there is a

Read excerpt
When the TV series Sex and the City first aired, I thought it was amazing to be the same age as the protagonists.

How to Make Better Decisions When the Rules No Longer Work. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve noticed a particular kind of uncertainty that seems to be showing up more often in conversations with experienced women.You have plenty of experience. You’ve made difficult decisions before. You know how organisations work, you understand your profession and you’ve learned to recognise patterns. And yet you can find yourself facing a situation where none of that gives you a clear answer.What worked before doesn’t necessarily work now. The career path that once seemed obvious may no longer m
What Is a Thought Partner? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the years, I have noticed that some of the most useful conversations I have with experienced women are not about giving advice.They are about helping someone see something they cannot quite see for themselves.A woman will come to me with a situation she has been thinking about for weeks, sometimes months. She has usually done a lot of thinking already. She knows the facts. She knows the history. She has talked to people she trusts. She may even have a good idea of what she should do.And yet
