Show Notes
Welcome to Season 13 of Cut Through The Noise with Aisling O’Rourke, your go-to podcast for mastering the art of communication in your business!
In this episode, Aisling pulls back the curtain on her own AI workflow. Rather than talking theory, she walks through exactly which tools she uses and why, from transcribing client coaching calls, to planning podcast seasons, scripting episodes, prepping presentations, and rehearsing for tricky audience questions. It's a practical, honest look at where AI saves her real time each week, and where she always insists on staying firmly in the editor's seat.
In this episode, you'll discover: A simple way to capture coaching or client call notes automatically, so action items land straight on your to-do list instead of getting lost in your memory Why your everyday accent or speech pattern matters when choosing a transcription tool, and how to test whether one will actually work for you A practical method for planning months of content in advance, so you stop staring at a blank page every time you sit down to create How to turn a half-formed idea, captured on the go, into a structured first draft you can actually work with Where to draw the line between letting AI speed up your process and losing your own voice in the final product How to turn one piece of recorded content into multiple formats — show notes, blog posts, social posts — without starting from scratch each time A pre-presentation trick for catching typos and formatting errors before they end up on a screen in front of a room

More from Cut Through the Noise with Aisling O' Rourke
After the largest public sector strike in Ireland since 2009, with 300,000 workers on picket lines, Aisling reflects on how much leaders' words matter when people are anxious. Between the cost of living, global conflict, rising rents and bills, and the climate and nature crisis, many teams and clients carry a low hum of dread into every meeting and email.
This week, Aisling talks to Kate Doyle, founder of EcoKinly, a Wexford-based brand breaking new ground in women’s health and hygiene products.
Aisling O'Rourke is joined by Professor John Nolan, whose 25 years of research into the eye, the brain and nutrition are the subject of the new documentary A Vision for Vision. They talk about why the science matters for people of all ages, and about the gap between scientific discovery and public understanding. For anyone nervous about putting themselves in front of a camera, he shares his tips on storytelling and sticking to what you know.
In this week’s episode, Aisling is joined by global sustainability expert Sandhya Sabapathy to talk about how the conversation around sustainable business has shifted from a "nice to have" side project to a genuine business case backed by regulation, profitability, and consumer trust. They cover why the "fail fast, break things" era is giving way to more considered, foundational growth, why authenticity beats greenwashing, and what role women in leadership can play in building a more climate-resilient future.
A crisis doesn't always start with a product failure, a cyberattack or an accident. Sometimes it starts with one sentence.
