/ Susan Hendrich / Leave a comment

What skills will you need to succeed five years from now? The future of work is rapidly evolving, and the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 highlights the crucial skills we need to thrive in 2030. According to the report, analytical thinking is the most sought-after skill, with 7 out of 10 companies considering it essential in 2025. But it doesn’t stop there. Resilience, flexibility, agility, leadership, and social influence are also crucial. What about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data? Yup, it’s no surprise that these elements of technological literacy will be in high demand. But among my favorites are creative thinking, curiosity, and lifelong learning, along with motivation and self-awareness. These are skills we can build today!

Let’s explore some of the top skills you’ll need to succeed:

  • Analytical Thinking: Sharpen your ability to evaluate information, solve complex problems, and make data-driven decisions.
  • Resilience, Flexibility, and Agility: Embrace change, adapt quickly to new situations, and bounce back from setbacks.
  • Leadership and Social Influence: Inspire and motivate others, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships.

These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the keys to unlocking future opportunities. Invest in developing these skills today, and you’ll be well-prepared to navigate the changing landscape of work and achieve your career goals. Where can you go to learn? Try LinkedIn Learning.

Are You Resilient?

/ Susan Hendrich / 5 Comments

Cast light every day…

Everything can be taken from a man or woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.  – Victor E. Frankl

re·sil·ience

noun \ri-ˈzil-yən(t)s\

  1. the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress
  2. an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change

Throughout my adult life, for various reasons, I have been told that I am resilient. But my story isn’t relevant today. Oh, believe me, I’d like for you to know all the joys and challenges, triumphs and struggles I’ve experienced. But when I’m practicing resilience, sometimes that means casting aside wounds, wonders, worries and woes in order to allow the simplicity of a message to shine through. So in the spirit of simplicity, all I will say right now about my discovery of the power of resilience is that I believe it is important to cast light, every day.

Cast your light

By shining our inner light outward toward the world, we brighten all that we see. So if you are reading this, it is because you were willing to let this light be cast upon you for a moment.

Your turn…

How will you cast your light? Post a comment here to share how you will demonstrate your resilience today.
