So much to chew over here, what a wonderful, well thought out look at the next 100+ years. I hadn’t even considered how we’re straddling two different eras but this is making me think differently about how to skill build and plan for the future. So much of this resonated, when I think of my own college experience, it’s crazy to realize how little I knew about the way technology would continue to shape the world. Great read Karena!

I love the term ‘heirloom skills’ and that they will be the constant, passing on values that matter which will inform how we live and care for each other and the planet.

Karena, excellent read!!

So much to think about. I never realised how I’m living this era of tradition to new normal.

Right before my eyes, paper CVs were replaced with digital CVs and then to online portfolio.

And now, no body (at least in my circle) ask about CVs anymore. People don’t look for jobs, they are approached by employers.

I agree with that focus is shifting towards EQ and the skills like grit, & resilience.

I don’t how world will look like when my three-year-old will turn 20. So much happening so fast.

Thanks for sharing these insights with us.

Lots of work in this Karena and some great takeaways. Embracing dead ends as discovery resonated with me - I've been down a few... Presenting it as an opportunity gifted to us is an inspiring way to conclude - a genuine call to action!

Great work! I am still thinking about this form the first draft I read and I love the finished essay. To think we’re only at the tip of the iceberg is humbling, scary, and exciting.

Very interesting read Karena! This topic fascinates me really, and just like you "my accidental foray into the Future of Work started with wanting to protect and prepare my children for the future." It's all for our children! Thank you for sharing your findings and ideas with us! Great issue!
