A Career Transition Revolution
Guiding mid-career professionals to future-proof their careers and thrive in the age of AI.
We are standing at the dawn of an unprecedented era. Artificial Intelligence is not just transforming the way we work, it is rewriting the very rules of how we, as humans, participate in the world of work. The emergence of artificial intelligence, especially Generative AI and the rapid rise of Large Language Models, is reshaping every aspect of the global economy as seismic waves of revolution course through our global worlds of work.
Already, leading global firms are helping us wrap our minds around the extraordinary impact of the changes we are expected to be going through as roles get automated or eliminated:
- McKinsey estimates that 400 to 800 million people may need to change occupations by 2030.
- Deloitte research report shares that smart, data-driven machines may replace up to 90 percent of known jobs by 2030.
- Goldman Sachs projects that 300 million jobs in the US and Europe could be automated.
- Forbes Magazine: “… non-linear careers will become increasingly common and necessary in the coming decades [in the] world of rapid change and extended working lives …[with] the ability to adapt, pivot, and reinvent your professional identity [being] essential ...”
We are entering a new era of work, an era where traditional career planning and career pathing are dangerously obsolete. Job titles are vanishing. Roles are morphing, aggregating and collapsing. Entry level work experience opportunities are drying up. Retrenchment programs are in full swing and the recruitment world is regularly and systematically paused as firms work to try to digest and respond to these critical changes.
And while all that takes place, conventional career transition services are languishing and preaching about job and role stability, progression linearity, and functionally static working identities. Our deeply entrenched linear career paths with their narrow specializations, the very things that once ensured and secured career stability, are now the millstones hanging around our necks, impeding our agility and limiting our productive engagement with a new world of work demanding our constant reinvention.
In this complex age of AI, it is adaptability, agility, and intentional reinvention that will determine who thrives and who is left behind. Leaders that will gain a disproportionate foothold in this new world of work will be those highly-skilled career architects who can pivot, connect, upskill, and create their own work opportunities. Ongoing volatility in this new age will see us repeating this process continually as the new world invents and reinvents itself over and over again.
The transformation from outdated career pathing to agile career architecting does not happen by itself.
This is why we’ve launched the original and pioneering PowerPivot program:
- to equip course participants with the powerful techniques and mastery practices required to become agile architects of their own purpose-fueled careers;
- to craft empowered and authentic lives brimming with inspired choices and powerful connections; and
- to do what inspires them most, and feeds their passions, their well-being and their wallets.
What we are about, is not just helping people land their next job. This is about transforming the very DNA of how we career ourselves, acquiring the agility, creativity and resilience skills we all should have learned years ago, but didn’t.
Together with our partners and investors we are building a global movement to help millions of people worldwide dynamically own their productive participation in the age of AI and beyond to ensure that even in a machine-driven world, the human spirit leads.
