Reimagining Careers for the Age of Accelerations

The rules of the game have changed! Studies indicate that by the year 2030, half of jobs will be ones that do no exist today and half the jobs of today will no longer exist. The volatility, uncertainty, and ambiguity ushered in by this age of accelerations extends not just to our environment, politics, and communities, but our organizations as well. In response, organizations are undergoing a massive transformation in technology, structure, culture, and values - fundamentally changing not only what we work on, but how we work, and who we work with.

Where does this leave our careers? If answering the question ‘Where do you see yourself five years from now?’ leaves you stuck, uncertain, confused and/or anxious, you are not alone.

In this session, shaped by her own career journey, Anjali shares how you can develop the awareness, insights, and questions to reimagine your own career to confidently navigate the future of work. You will look back at your own career for clues, and look ahead at organizational and cultural trends for insights on the skills and capacities needed for new and emerging roles. Guided by your Ikigai (reason for being), you will learn to ask much better questions to reimagine your career for this age of accelerations.
