| Is AI making us lazy? With Tibisay Vera | 13 Apr 2026 | 00:32:54 | |
Is AI changing the way our brains work? And if so, at what cost? As artificial intelligence becomes a permanent fixture in our daily work and personal lives, big questions are emerging. Is AI helping us think better, or making us mentally lazy? Could it be reshaping our intelligence, attention and judgment in ways we don’t yet fully understand?

Drawing on her work with global leaders and organisations, Tibisay shares practical, science‑backed insights into how our brains adapt to technology, and how we can use AI without sacrificing critical thinking or human judgment.
Together, Louise and Tibisay explore:
If you’re curious about how to harness AI without losing your mental edge, this conversation offers clarity, nuance, and practical guidance for leaders, professionals, and anyone navigating life in an AI-powered world.

| Human creativity in the era of AI with Josh Robinson | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:21:07 | |
How is human creativity evolving in the age of AI? That’s the key question host Louise Everett and executive creative director Josh Robinson explore in this episode of ClarityMatters. As founder of 17Days, Josh operates at the intersection of creative strategy and design. He argues that although AI is seductive, quick, confident and impressive, leaders need to keep real, human expertise at the heart of the creative process.
As AI accelerates creation, a honed human eye remains key in shaping meaning, refining output, and making strategic judgments.

| Cutting through digital complexity with Azhar Kholwadia | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:19:33 | |
In this episode of ClarityMatters, host Louise Everett is joined by digital growth expert Azhar Kholwadia for a deep dive into the realities of communicating in today’s increasingly crowded and automated digital landscape.
Digital communication is noisy. With more platforms, more automation, and more pressure for constant visibility, organisations often find themselves adding tools faster than they can meaningfully use them. The result? Fragmentation, duplication, and a growing risk that key messages are lost in the noise.
Drawing on his experience at Aston Martin, Azhar explores the tension between scale and simplicity — and how organisations can adopt powerful digital tools, including AI, without compromising clarity, authenticity, or brand equity.
This conversation shines a light on the real question communicators must now confront: not “AI or humans?” — but “How do we combine automation with human insight to build trust at scale?”

| AI, image and professional credibility with Ben Verinder | 18 Feb 2026 | 00:29:16 | |
In this thought‑provoking episode of ClarityMatters, host Louise Everett is joined by strategic communications expert Ben Verinder to explore one of the most pressing questions facing communicators today: is AI reshaping not just our work, but how we’re perceived?
AI promises speed, efficiency, and innovation. Yet for many communicators, its rise brings something more complicated: uncertainty. Externally, audiences are increasingly cautious of machine‑generated messages. Internally, professionals face a new kind of dual pressure: adopt AI to stay relevant, but avoid appearing overly dependent on it. For a field built on judgment, creativity, credibility, and trust, that tension is real.
This episodes examines the shifting expectations placed on communicators, the emotional and professional implications of AI adoption, and what organisations must do to introduce these tools responsibly.

| Why clear communication is an essential life skill with Richard Stokes | 17 Feb 2026 | 00:28:10 | |
In this first episode of ClarityMatters, host Louise Everett opens the series in conversation with leadership coach Richard Stokes to explore the role communication plays in leadership, relationships, and human connection.
Poor communication is estimated to cost US businesses over a trillion dollars a year through misunderstandings, delays and wasted effort.
And the cost isn’t just financial. When we’re not clear, careers can stall, relationships strain and decisions drift. In leadership, a lack of clarity doesn’t just create confusion - it quietly shapes culture and outcomes — often in ways we only recognise when it’s too late.
In this episode, we’ll unpack where communication most often breaks down — even among highly capable, experienced leaders — and the practical habits that help us communicate with greater clarity, intention and impact.

| Internal comms at a crossroads with Jennifer Sproul | 08 May 2026 | 00:37:22 | |
Internal communication is at a crossroads. Organisations increasingly expect IC to drive strategy, shape behaviour and manage risk - yet many teams remain stuck in reactive, delivery-led roles.
In this episode of ClarityMatters, host Louise Everett is joined by Jennifer Sproul, Chief Executive of the Institute of Internal Communication and co-host of The Future of Internal Communication podcast.
Jennifer argues that the biggest opportunity for teams lies in reshaping the role of IC from the organisation’s postman to its “internal intelligence unit”: a function that informs decisions, manages risk and drives alignment.
Louise and Jennifer discuss:
Listen to this episode if you want to shift your IC team from tactical to strategic and make a stronger case for your function.

| Finding clarity through doubt with Jenny Williams | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:34:52 | |
Is doubt holding you back - or taking you forward?
Most of us experience doubt on a regular basis. We question decisions, feel uncertain about the best way forward, and wonder whether we’re getting it right. Yet in leadership and professional life, doubt is often something we feel we should hide - a sign of weakness rather than wisdom.
But what if we’ve been looking at doubt all wrong?
In this episode of ClarityMatters, host Louise Everett is joined by executive coach and author Jenny Williams to explore why the idea that strong leaders must always appear certain is not only unhelpful, but limiting - and how embracing doubt can become a powerful driver of growth, clarity, and better decision‑making.
Drawing on her extensive coaching work with senior leaders and insights from her book Brilliant Doubt, Jenny challenges common misconceptions about doubt and shares a more constructive way of working with it.
Together, Louise and Jenny explore:
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in uncertainty - or trying to push doubt aside in order to keep going - this episode offers a refreshing and practical perspective on how doubt can become a positive force rather than a barrier.
Listen now to discover how working with doubt can lead to greater clarity and impact.
