Over the past two centuries, innovation has been in a constant cycle of transforming work, from the arrival of the internal combustion engine, electricity, telecommunications, and on.
Each time, painful labour market adjustments — for example, the loss of specific skill sets like weaving or typesetting or whole occupations such as blacksmiths and switchboard operators — were offset by gains in productivity and earnings, alongside safer working conditions, reduced work hours, and opportunities for more creative employment.
As we enter 2020, this is going to accelerate and one of the best way for anyone to remain relevant is to ‘stop reacting to change and instead be the change in your life’.
This mean focusing on your skills & talents, rather than technical skills. Understand that Career development is about live in the moment understanding that your passion will change at different stage of your life.
This is a perfect time to ask yourself:
Why do you get up every morning?
What impact do you want to make?
And does this potential career fit that?
About me:
From a very young age, I had a deal with change, as a sugar cane boy, I grew up in Mauritius and so far I have successfully engaged and transitioned across, government, military, business & the 3rd sector to become an author, entrepreneur and beyond.
I believe environment dictates performance, and you gain more experience by exposing yourself to new environments, which I describe in our career accelerator programme as the 'Proximity principles'. I would love to hear your thoughts and even how you have best dealt with change in your personnal & professional life. If your personal & professional development is important to you, I will invite you to take the leavers to leaders scorecard where you have 14 questions and a 4 pages report on your influence, its completely free. You can connect with me on most social media @ SamuelTReddy.
Very best regards,
