The human edge, explored.
A podcast for leaders navigating the human side of work.

About the show

We are living through the greatest test of human leadership in a generation.

AI is doing more. Automation is accelerating. Change is moving faster. And leaders are being asked to deliver results while helping people navigate uncertainty, complexity and constant change.

Underneath all of that, leadership is still about people.

And we are being forced to ask a deeper question:

What does it really mean to lead human?

Lead Human with Abi is a podcast for leaders who want to explore what it really means to lead human. Each episode explores the real work of leading — understanding ourselves, building meaningful relationships, creating environments where people can thrive, navigating complexity and change, and having the conversations that matter. Along the way, we explore what helps leaders grow, how they influence the people around them, and what it takes to lead with greater awareness, courage and intention.

Every episode comes back to one question:

Are you leading human — or just leading?

Who is this for?

Lead Human with Abi is for three kinds of people.

It is for CHROs and people leaders who are thinking about what leadership needs to become as work, technology and organisations change.

It is for leaders and managers who are doing the work, delivering results and leading people through change while also asking themselves how they can lead with greater awareness, intention and impact.

And it is for coaches and practitioners who support leaders and teams and are curious about the human dynamics that shape how people work, grow and lead together.

If you are interested in how we lead ourselves, how we relate to others, and what we create around us through our leadership, Lead Human with Abi is for you.

“Lead Human. Two words that mean something different depending on where you are right now and that’s exactly the point.”
