A conversation with Hannah Maude - founder of Fire up Skills - who's on a mission to upskill women from AI-impacted to AI-empowered.
By 2027, AI could displace around 69 million jobs globally — and it’s likely that women will be disproportionately impacted. This is due to women over-indexing in high risk industries (think retail, healthcare, and clerical roles), and because approximately 70% of clerical and administrative jobs globally are held by women.
Hannah Maude is sounding the alarm and offering a lifeline.
In this episode of RemAining Human, I sit down with Hannah Maude -- founder of Fire Up Skills, which empowers women to move from AI-impacted to AI-empowered -- to discuss everything from her work with Fire Up Skills to her own career pivot to the realities of pending technological disruption. Hannah shares her framework for navigating an AI-driven career pivot and advice on how to get started — even when grappling with massive change can feel overwhelming.
Because irregardless of your gender, this conversation may be helpful for any professional feeling uncertain about technological disruption and career changes. I find a certain comfort in knowing we are all feeling the discomfort of this uncertainty.
Listen in to learn:
👉 How to map your existing professional skills to AI roles, with specific examples of transferable competencies across marketing, sales, HR, and governance.
👉 The PLAN B career strategy: Hannahs’s step-by-step framework for identifying your unique strengths, leveraging them in emerging tech fields, and building confidence to make a bold career transition.
👉 The importance of developing your AI values so that you can proactively and intentionally design your use of AI to align with what you value.
👉 Networking strategies, including advice for building a supportive network, via attending tech events, asking meaningful questions, and connecting with mentors in AI-adjacent fields.
More than anything — we stress the importance of supporting each other and of holding AI companies to account to create AI is representative of both male and female perspectives. Because only when a diversity of voices are elevated will we build technology that is representative of all humans.
