Episode 52 - Ben Williams, CEO at Loopin

Why we need to think 'people-first' in the age of AI

We speak to Ben Williams, CEO and co-founder of AI start-up Loopin

 

We’re back from our summer break and excited to dive into discussing two of our favourite topics, workplace culture, and AI, with Ben Williams, CEO and co-founder of Loopin. 

Ben is a best-selling author and leadership coach, who has worked with the likes of Gareth Southgate’s England football team, Facebook, and Gymshark. With Loopin, Ben is using his commando mindset experience as a former Royal Marine and partnering with real-time AI to help combat burnout and empower managers to promote wellbeing in the workplace.

We talked about empathy in the workplace, how leaders are recalibrating their leadership styles post lockdown, burnout, and how to motivate employees during a challenging year (and the answer isn’t what you think it might be). We also discuss the role that AI can play in improving employees’ well-being and supporting managers. This is a fascinating conversation that will be food for thought for anyone interested in improving organisational culture.

Paul and Zoe also discuss tech news including where Google is at with AI.
