You'll learn:

• How to take harsh feedback without swallowing the cruelty that came with it
• Two questions to ask before you say yes to a stage, a client or a room
• How to think straight for someone whose brain has gone offline
• Why AI sounds so human, and why that should make you trust it less
• What the 10 December Privacy Act change means if your business uses AI to make decisions about customers
• Why poor sleep can be a menopause symptom, and what to do if your GP doesn’t take you seriously
• A ridiculous trick for turning down the voice in your head

By the end, you'll know what it takes to be honest at work, with other people and with yourself, and still be the person they booked.
