YOUR RELEVANCE EDGE – FUTURE-PROOF YOUR CAREER FOR THE AI ERA

Who owns your career development plan? Who should be the one deciding which skills you need to develop to stay relevant in the labor market in the long term? And who should fund your professional development – your company or yourself? 

If your automatic answer to my last question was: “My company,” we need to talk about your mindset 😊.

If your cautious, sober answer to my last question was: “Myself,” we need to talk about your company 😊.

In an ideal world, the burden of your adult growth should be shared by you and your company.

Here is something you need to understand.

Your company is a stand-alone system, an independent organism with an instinct for self-preservation.

That’s why, when companies go through deep restructuring and transformation, the last thing they can afford to care about is the long-term well-being and professional growth of their employees (whom they may need to lay off in a few months or years anyway, mind you).

That’s why you can’t afford to put all your eggs in one basket and expect your company – or the state budget, EU funds, or someone else – to craft the perfect plan that will keep you skilled, relevant, well paid, and happy in the future.

The sobering realization is that you are on your own.

Your company may own your role.

But you own your career – and your future.

Therefore, designing the strategy that will keep your skills relevant and your financial future secure in the AI era is your job.

And that’s precisely what we will discuss together in this workshop.

WHAT IS YOUR RELEVANCE EDGE?

Your relevance edge is your conscious, consistent effort to acquire, develop, and deploy fresh skills that will put food on your table in the future, AI or no AI.

You acquire a relevance edge when you:

1. Make it a habit to reflect on your future
2. Assess how vulnerable to AI your current role is – and what you can do to mitigate AI-related risks to your future career and income.
3. Activate your growth mindset and reignite your curiosity and appetite for learning.
4. Are vocal about your desire to learn new things at work.
5. Make it clear that you’re willing and ready to co-finance your education – through your time, energy, and personal budget.
6. Are truly intentional about your ROT, ROE, and ROI – return on time, return on energy, and return on investment in your education.
7. Choose the best-in-class coaching, mentoring, and training options – not because they are available and cheap, but because they make sense for your long-term growth.

In other words, you acquire a relevance edge when you’re truly intentional and ready to act strategically about your future.

WHAT TOPICS WILL WE COVER TOGETHER DURING THIS WORKSHOP?

During this workshop, we will look at:

1. How AI is biting deeply into the relevance of thinking – and coding – professions – and which roles are most vulnerable to full AI replacement.
2. How you can assess the vulnerability of your skills and role to AI – and what risk mitigation strategies you may apply to reduce your vulnerability.
3. How you can activate your curiosity and restart your growth mindset and learning appetite.
4. How to run pragmatic conversations about your skill development for long-term professional relevance – with your colleagues, boss, HR business partners, and external service vendors.
5. How to design and update an AI-bulletproof professional development plan that will refresh your skills and secure your future career growth.
6. How to finance your relevance acquisition in a way that’s compatible with your personal needs and current lifestyle, and also sustainable in the long term.
7. The concrete, actionable steps you can take right away to design your skills development and professional relevance plan moving forward.

During this workshop, we will engage in robust self-reflection. Come prepared to be fully present AND to take copious notes.

After all, this is your ME-TIME – protect it with all your might.

WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE WITH AT THE END OF THIS WORKSHOP?

At the end of this workshop, you will leave with:

1. A clear understanding of the concept of personal and professional relevance in the age of AI and what you should do to start strengthening the scaffolding of your career so you reduce future vulnerabilities and risks.
2. Inspiration and a wider perspective on how to design your own skill development and career growth plan.
3. Motivation to talk more about your development needs with your key internal and external stakeholders.
4. A clear sense of what to do next to turn AI into an enabler and accelerator of your career growth, rather than its gravedigger.
5. A downloadable textbook that you can use anytime after the workshop to deepen your self-reflection.
6. A sense of community and support – you’re not alone on this journey.
