The World of Work Is Changing. Are We Keeping Up?
We spend our days helping others grow, adapt and perform. Yet when it comes to our own development, we’re often the last in the queue. As AI reshapes how work gets done, the expectations on L&D professionals are shifting fast. Staying still is not an option.
Sharpen the Skills That Make You Indispensable
The good news? AI isn’t replacing you. It’s raising the bar on what makes us uniquely valuable. Discernment, critical thinking, relational intelligence, the ability to read the room and influence in real time; these are now core capabilities. And they’re exactly the kind of skills that grow through practice, reflection, coaching and community.
This one page action plan will help you to:
- choose a human skill to focus on that will make a big difference to your impact
- map out how you’ll practise that skill in your day-to-day work
- identify the right people to guide and accelerate your grow
- define what success looks and feels like so you can track your progress
