Skills For The Future Of Work
Key Takeaways
Our CEO and Founder, Jessica Chen, recently hosted a Soulcast Media | LIVE event on LinkedIn, where she interviewed the Senior Director of Global Content Strategy at LinkedIn Learning, Dan Brodnitz. They shared tips and personal stories about the most critical skills for the future of work. Here are the takeaways for VIP Comm Pass members:
- The skills we need to focus on are collaboration, resilience or a growth mindset, and learning.
- One aspect of collaboration is our ability to communicate and work well with others.
- One aspect of resilience or a growth mindset is our ability to overcome setbacks and come out stronger.
- We also need to keep investing in who we want to be tomorrow.
- Communications is a skill we can learn, but it requires us to receive feedback from others.
- We must continuously retool ourselves because the skills we had before will not be sufficient in the future.
- Regarding AI, we can learn into it. We can embrace this moment of disruption and empower ourselves.
- Leadership and management are critical skills for the future of work.
- AI is a tool, just like technology is a tool. We can harness the tool's functionality to help us improve our knowledge.
- Our skills help us establish our value so we can unlock opportunities.
- Skills first mindset - we can get this job if we can do this job, rather than the old mindset of we can get this job if we have done this job because we may be able to do the job even though we haven't had the job title before.
- When thinking about how we can contribute, we can lean into some intentional, select, scarce skills that separate and set us apart.
- There is no time like now to learn something new, whether it is a new skill or AI; it's never too late to learn.
- We're not late; we are right on time.
