Are you indisruptable?

With the recent release of World Economic Forum 's Future of Jobs 2025 Report, I'm sure there's one question on all our minds.

How will we be competitive in a world of AI?

Disruption happens to industries and organizations.

Disruption is now happening to the future of work and our careers.

None of us are immune to this.

The question I want to ask you, is this: what are you doing to future-proof yourself?

Here's what the WEC says are the top 10 fastest growing skills by 2030:

Look at skills #4-7, 9: Creative thinking, resilience, flexibility and agility, curiosity and lifelong learning, leadership and social influence and analytical thinking.

50% of the top 10 skills are innovation mindsets and skills.

Now, reflect on your skills. Do you possess these qualities?

Or do you need upskilling and/or reskilling in these areas?

The Future of Jobs Report also says this:

39% of workers' core skills will change by 2030. In other words, 39% of the core skills today will become obsolete.        

That's why the report also shows the top core skills in 2025 toady:

Notice the top four core skills in 2025 are the innovation skills and minsets needed in 2030. It's why they are needed now.        

You become future-proof by preparing today. You become indisruptable by having the needed skillsets that nothing and no one can disrupt.

Do you know the story of Dorothy Vaughan?

She was an American mathematician and human computer who worked for NACA/NASA.

In the 1960s, IBM won a contract with NASA for the space program. NASA decided to move away from human computers to electronic computers. Dorothy knew her and her staff's job were in jeopardy.

She knew her current skills were going to become irrelevant, so she taught herself FORTRAN, a computer programming language so she could stay relevant. Humans would still be needed to program the computers. She upskilled herself.

Dorothy became a Fortran specialist, on the frontier of electronic computing. She also became NASA’s first African-American supervisor and was regarded as one of the most brilliant minds in NASA.

Incredible, isn’t it? ??

“What humans do best, is creative, innovative thinking. Bringing new possibilities to light. Creating a new future by transforming ideas into business value. Innovation is in all of our DNA. It’s what makes us human.”- Leo Chan

Consider this: How are you upskilling or reskilling yourself today, to be ready for 2030? Do you have the skills needed for 2030?

My superpower is upskilling people on innovation. I make innovation accessible, approachable and tangible. ?? If you want to be indisruptable, become an innovator. Learn to innovate. It’ll future-proof your skills for decades to come. ?? It would be my absolute joy to show you how. ????
