Choose a path. Work hard. Move up. Stay there. But for the next generation of leaders, my special guest today thinks that careers may look less like climbing a ladder and more like rock climbing... moving sideways, changing direction, and finding a new route when the old one no longer works. AI is changing jobs. Career paths are becoming less predictable. And the skills that helped someone land their first role may not be the same skills they\u2019ll need five years from now. So, how do we prepare emerging leaders for a future that none of us can fully predict? My special guest today is educational futurist Dr. Kevin Fleming, and he\u2019s simplifying how to develop future-ready leaders. We\u2019ll talk about why identity clarity, transferable skills, and real-world experience matter more than ever. We\u2019ll also explore which human skills will remain valuable as AI reshapes work, and how organizations can use work-based learning and two-way mentorship to help emerging talent grow.
