The uncertain economic situation along with a changing work landscape has transformed the conditions for success in our personal and professional lives. It’s no longer a question of staying comfortably in the same job until we retire, while the boundaries between work and home have also blurred. We must become proactive and take ownership of our own careers, and our lives. We must open our minds to different options, challenging our assumptions and taking calculated risks; we must make sure that we’re constantly developing our skills via lifelong learning that will ensure that we’re competitive against our peers, not just locally but globally; we must take responsibility for the direction of our own careers, making meaningful connections and building our personal brands; and we must do all this with passion and conviction, as we craft our own versions of our most fulfilled lives.
