Is Your Career Future-Proof

Preview:

You did everything right. You studied hard, built a successful career, earned the title, the credibility, and the rewards. But in a world where people live longer, careers last decades longer, and AI is reshaping work, a new question emerges: Is the career you built still enough for the life ahead? In this episode, we explore why the traditional career ladder may no longer be sufficient, and how leaders can redesign their careers as portfolios of relevance, contribution, learning, and renewal for the next 20 to 30 years.
