Issue 99: An end of week edition with 60 roles, and must-read/watch/listen content picks.

Well, I'm almost to my 100th edition... and I'm back with another packed issue.

Part 1: Get Inspired?

On the growing trend of fractional work?

In my last post I shared MBO’s latest “State of Independence” which shared some compelling stats on greater sense of agency and fullfillment?among full-time independent workers.?

The growing trend of fractional work falls in this lane and was mentioned in two posts that captured my attention this week:?

• Marni Gordon offered her tips for finding fractional marketing opportunities in her latest Marni’s Midlife Marketer newsletter with tips like building your personal brand, leaning into your existing networks and seeking advisory roles.?

• Rishad Tobaccowala also tackles this topic in his latest podcast episode “A Fraction of the Workplace ”??

A Deep Dive into Accenture’s Life Trends 2025 – 1 trend at a time?

One of my favorite pieces of Accenture’s thought leadership is our annual Life Trends repor t. This year’s report which came out last week didn’t disappoint. As I sat down to read through the findings about how people are seeking a “healthier, more balanced relationship with technology (both for themselves and the next generation), I saw so much of myself and my concerns in this year’s trends.?

So, in this edition and the four that follow, I am going to take each trend one by one... and hopefully it will resonate with you as much as it did with me.?

Note: if you want to quick intro to all 5 trends check out this recent post from Accenture Song featuring a video from the very eloquent Mark Curtis (one of the authors of the report).

Trend 1: Cost of Hesitation?

“This trend details how it’s now incredibly easy to create all kinds of digital content, and a flood of scams is blurring the lines between the authentic and the deceptive. Even on once-trustworthy platforms, it’s harder for people to tell what’s real, seeding hesitation into their digital interactions.”?

Getting more well versed in spotting the misuse of AI:?

• Visit First AI-ID Kit – This website was developed by Accenture to raise awareness and educate all of us on deepfakes and misused AI.?

• Watch “Get to know deepfakes before they know you ”?

• Read some recent press on the topic of deep fakes and misinformation?

• Welcome to the Era of Deep Doubt (Ars Technica/Wired)?

• Can you spot celebrity deepfakes in a new ad warning against election disinfo? (NBC News)?

• How misinformation spreads online (CBS News)?

• For those in US tips for staying sane and calm on election day (and those days immediately following): A just stay calm strategy – from Mike Allen at Axios?

Part 2: Finding your next role?

This section is filled with roles that I've seen shared within my network or on LinkedIn by either the hiring manager or an employee of the company (a sign to me that it's a role being actively recruited for).

As a reminder, I am not affiliated with the recruiting or hiring for any of the highlighted roles, so please use your typical due diligence when researching these further.
