The Disrupted Workforce

DETAILS | If you have ever felt misunderstood as a professional, this episode is for you! "So what do you do?" This tired question has haunted people for decades. However, today countless professionals are in career transition or "flight," as Dr. Sarabeth Berk calls it. In fact, the traditional definition, model, and success metrics around careers are quickly becoming obsolete.

So what's next? Reimagining your professional identity for the Future of Work. In this mind-altering episode, Sarabeth shares why we urgently need new language about how we talk about our career identities while fostering belonging by helping people feel seen, known, and valued. She believes developing a "hybrid identity," or hybridity, is a revelation for careers, organizations, and the workforce. A hybrid professional is someone who has multiple professional identities and works at the intersection of them–where their adaptability and unique value lie. Further, career transitions are "a feature, not a bug." Join us for this fascinating conversation on the evolution of how we think and talk about careers and who we are now in this wild and dynamic Future of Work.
