- What jobs might you be applying for 20 years from now?- What will give you the edge in a fiercely competitive market for talented people?- How can you be relevant and fit in where the robots don’t?- How can mentorship help you make good choices and how to find the right mentor?
Social Media Managers didn’t exist 10 years ago. Robots will replace couriers and book-keepers in less than 10 years. We are in the fastest transition of how we work in human history because of:
- Digitisation- Compliance- Competition- Changing expectations of employees and the community
Agility is the ability to move easily and quickly. People with high AQ (agility quotient) will be more successful in navigating through the opportunities and challenges of seismic disruption. Fear of the future looms large. New personal qualities, skills and support structures (internal flexibility, intestinal fortitude and the adaptability to change and cope) will be essential.Bruce will share his personal stories about a 30-year portfolio career and the candid advice he’d share with his 25-year-old self over a coffee (or two).You will leave this session with practical inspirations on career choices, mentorship and mindsets that will give you the edge to “punch above your weight” and find fulfilling ways to spend the rest of your (working) life. YOLO.
