Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Digital Colonialism, AI & Inclusion: Why Ethical Tech Can't Wait | John Archbold, a professional overthinker for AI ethics, governance and the intersection of technology operations
Q: What misconceptions about transitioning women to digital careers would you like to debunk?
There's a broad spectrum of roles in tech beyond coding, and you don't need to be a traditional computer science graduate to contribute meaningfully in tech; many paths exist in marketing, legal, data analytics, and ethics/compliance.
Mental Wealth: Wellbeing at the Heart of Career Pivots | Kate Thompson, Board Member of the Women Pivoting to Digital Task Force
Q: Kate, it is brilliant to have you here today. Could you open up and tell us about your career and work?
Kate outlines her three-hat perspective: a behavioural scientist focusing on happiness and wellbeing at work, a leader with experience in purpose-driven strategy and transformation, and an entrepreneur who has built and sold a company. She emphasizes how workplace wellbeing sits at the nexus of ethics and business performance, sharing how she translates research into practical leadership and talent development.
The Strategic Game Shaping Future FinTech Talent | Lorin D’Costa, Founder of She Plays To Win UK, and Rashmi Prabhakar, Head of SaaS Transformation at Temenos
Q: Could you tell us a bit about the link between chess, the UK skills gap and future careers?
The discussion connects macro data on digital skills gaps and recruitment challenges to a practical, scalable solution: using chess to cultivate cognitive and transferable skills, build confidence, and create a diverse talent pipeline that feeds into STEM and FinTech careers.
Human-Led Marketing & Inclusive Culture | Jessica Rhodes, Global Marketing Director at Paysecure
Q: What advice would you give to someone aiming to drive inclusion in their workplace?
Focus on small daily habits, actively listen, and take action; leadership should emphasize the importance of inclusion and provide structural support across meetings, recruitment, and culture.
Human-Led Marketing & Inclusive Culture | Jessica Rhodes, Global Marketing Director at Paysecure
