About this listen

In our professional lives, we spend far too much time doing things that negatively impact our ability to function well at work. Why do we do that? Because despite learning the technical side of work, rarely are we taught the other stuff you need - so called soft skills, interpersonal skills, etc. Do you want to improve your leadership skills, be a better manager, or simply cope with the everyday demands of work? This professional development podcast will do that. Join me, an Organisational Psychologist, as I use evidence-based recommendations to help you be well while you work well!Nancy Elizabeth Careers Economics Personal Success

  • S4 E9 - Fitting AI to the Task
    Apr 2 2025


    In this episode, I attempt to cut through the AI hype and focus instead on practical workplace applications. I explore how professionals can actively incorporate AI into their workflow to reduce hindrance stressors rather than create new ones.

    Neither 'doomerist' nor overly optimistic, this episode examines the concept of "Human-AI Task Fit" through an Organisational & Occupational Psychology lens. Learn a three-step approach for evaluating where AI can enhance your work:

    Tools Assessment

    Task Assessment

    Collaborative Effort


    I'll discuss the research behind successful AI implementation, common pitfalls including bias, errors, and allure - and how to ensure these technologies serve as resources rather than demands in your work.

    Join me to discover how mindful AI integration can free you up for what makes work meaningful: autonomy, collaboration, and demonstrating your uniquely human competence.

    Good luck, Professionals!
