12 Mar TILT E0: The career roller coaster – The trailer

Trailer:  ‘Peeks’ and Valleys

Welcome to this new podcast – TILT the Future in your Favour

In this trailer, we discuss the framework for the various episodes that will follow.

Today’s career path looks more like a roller coaster ride than the traditional ladder. With the gig economy, new technologies, just in time methodologies, our work time shows periods of intense heights and highs; followed by the dips and low of either being between gigs or under employment.

Called ‘Peeks’ and valleys, this trailer gives us a peek into the Future of Work, and the strategies that can shift the roller coaster experience from scary to enjoyable.

Aiming for an optimal length of 20 minutes per episode, we will see a blend of verbal blogs that cover key areas of interest:

• New technologies – why were they created, what possible impact could they have and how fast
• Transition skills – because in times of dramatic change, we need to draw a much more basic and persistent set of skills
• Signs & Signals – develop the sleuthing skills that teach us to read for possible changes ahead
• FUTUREcasting – bringing in an element of play and uncertainty while exploring our uncertain futures

Full Transcript

Hey!

Really glad you’ve made your way to TILT Your Future – the podcast full of possibilities.

I am your host, Karena de Souza, and it’s a pleasure to welcome you to a great discussion on the jobs, careers and missions of the future.

If you are in high school or college; if you have just started working; you know exactly what I am talking about!

The old rules no longer apply

We are all heading into unfamiliar territory, murky uncharted waters. Its clear that the old rules, the road maps, the things that that worked for our parents, these no longer apply.

We used to have clearly defined career ladders with rungs.

Roller coaster rides

They’ve now been replaced with something that looks more like an adventure, or a roller coaster ride. But like the best amusement park rides, they’re fast, they’re scary and they’re exhilarating! And best enjoyed in the company of a good friend.

So get seated, headsets on, buckle up, and get ready for a thrilling ride.

From Position to Purpose – the new career

We are going to discuss the impact of new technologies that keep popping up on the horizon, transition skills and strategies on ‘adulting’. Our guests will share their experiences on managing change. We will debate how this new generation will redefine their term ‘career’ from position to purpose – like ‘re-imagining food packaging to reduce it’s effect on the environment’.

Positional advantage

But most importantly, we will discuss how we each acquire a situational advantage. How we get prepared, pay attention to signals, and have the ability to make minute 1 degree course corrections in the direction we are headed and so that we can tilt the future in your favour.

In the end, the joy of this life is that we can never be certain of where we are going. But so long as we know the direction we are headed in, have some great company and a good head for decisions, we can learn to enjoy the journey.

Welcome to the podcast where we figure out the Future of Work – together.

TILT the Future.
