AI and the Future of Work with James Akrigg

Hi, rebels.

Let’s discuss something that’s got everyone talking - AI and the future of work.

We’re not here for the sci-fi scare stories; instead, we’re focusing on how AI can actually make our work lives better and more meaningful.

My guest today is James Akrigg, one of the sharpest minds I know when it comes to tech.

He’s here to help us cut through the noise, share how AI can be a force for good, and maybe even settle a few fears along the way.

I’m intrigued, and I know you will be too.

(23:39) AI in Enhancing Learning and Well-being

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion

Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
