The Common Experience Podcast: Season 2, Episode 1

The Common Experience Season 2 Kicks Off: Brett Reid on AI’s Impact in the Not-for-Profit Sector

We’re excited to launch Season 2 of The Common Experience—and we’re starting strong. In our first episode, Brett Reid joins us to unpack one of the most pressing topics facing organisations today: the real impact of AI in the Not-for-Profit sector.

Brett is an internationally experienced HR Director with a career spanning Australia, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. He has led large-scale organisational change and digital transformation for some of Australia’s most recognised businesses and has been awarded nationally for his talent development programs in both the UK and Australia. With deep expertise in change, culture and talent management, Brett brings a grounded and practical perspective to how AI is reshaping work—especially in purpose-driven organisations.

In this episode, Brett explores how AI can unlock capacity, improve service delivery and support better employee and volunteer experiences—while also sharing the ethical, cultural and organisational challenges leaders need to consider as the technology evolves.

It’s a conversation that cuts through the hype and focuses on what’s genuinely possible.
