Future Fit

Description

Jobs are changing, technology is accelerating, and we must adapt with new skills. Award-winning author, Andrea Clarke, shares advice for upgrading our skills to suit a competitive workplace. The need for skills that defy disruption has never been so urgent, as traditional workplace models give way to confronting new rules of engagement. If you’re looking for job security, growth and acceleration in a radical, new workforce, then Future Fit is the place to start. Award-winning author Andrea Clarke shares her experience, expertise and tactical advice on how to become truly Future Fit. “The future of work is here and it’s about talent – your talent. It’s about upgrading our human skills because they’re landing differently in a hybrid environment,” says Clarke. “These skills are powerful differentiators in a dynamic and demanding new workplace.”Using her experience from a vibrant and varied career, Clarke explores the eight ‘real skills’ we need for the 2020s: Reputation Capital, Adaptability, Communication, Networking, Creativity, Problem-solving, Leadership and Learning.A former Washington D.C. news reporter, Iraqi humanitarian aid worker and EdTech pioneer, Clarke founded FutureFitCo in 2012 – a business that trains emerging leaders to accelerate these core competencies. The Future Fit Digital Program, adapted from this book, is delivered globally to multi-national organisations. A former television news reporter and Washington D.C. correspondent, Andrea Clarke covered major news events for Al Jazeera English, the Pentagon Channel and the Seven Network before working on humanitarian aid programs to rebuild Iraq, Afghanistan and Georgia. Andrea then led the communication campaign for the Save Darfur advocacy movement. Andrea is the Sydney-based author of the award-winning ‘Future Fit’, now in its second edition. She also delivers keynote speeches about how we can leverage human capability in the future of work and how organisations can rebuild trust with customers in the digital era.
