Ep 112: Human conversations in the age of AI - with guest Suzanne Hayes-Jones

In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Emery and Tom Mason are joined by Suzanne Hayes-Jones, Director of The Laid Bare Company, to explore why leaders need to keep having better, more meaningful conversations, especially as more people turn to AI. Suzanne explains why genuine, curious conversation drives creativity, accountability and connection, and why relying on AI for the thinking can widen the gap between a leader and their team. She shares what she’s learned from coaching-skills work, from the gap between a leader’s intent and their impact to why time pressure is always the biggest barrier. The conversation also covers the mindset work behind better conversations, why swapping judgement for curiosity is a good place to start, and small changes leaders can make, like inviting their team to shape the “how” in a meeting. Suzanne also shares that she’s writing a book on conversations that matter.
