Description
This course develops the human capabilities employees need to thrive as AI becomes woven into everyday work. Instead of offering technical instruction, the programme focuses on the psychological foundations of performance, how people think, feel, and make decisions under rapidly changing conditions.
Across a blend of guided reflection, practical micro-skills, and real-world scenarios, participants explore how AI increases cognitive load, accelerates task switching, and heightens emotional pressure. They learn why the brain defaults to rigid patterns during uncertainty and how to build cognitive flexibility, regulate threat responses, and maintain motivation when roles or expectations shift.
The session also introduces the behavioural side of human–AI collaboration: questioning outputs, avoiding automation bias, setting boundaries with tools, and using judgement in ambiguous situations. By the end, participants leave with a personalised action plan and a set of evidence-based psychological strategies they can apply immediately to stay grounded, effective, and adaptable in an AI-driven world.
Outcomes
Understand how AI changes cognitive demands in the workplace (e.g., speed, complexity, ambiguity).
Recognise common psychological blocks such as threat responses, overwhelm, and over-reliance on tools.
Strengthen cognitive flexibility to avoid “rigid thinking” that slows adaptation.
Use evidence-based techniques to regulate uncertainty-driven stress.
Apply practical frameworks (e.g., ACT, CBT micro-skills, SDT) to maintain agency and motivation.
Collaborate more effectively with AI systems while retaining judgement and ethical decision-making.
