You’re facing a major professional challenge. How can you maintain resilience and come out on top?
Current research indicates that 85% of the jobs that people will be doing in the next decade haven't been invented yet. That we will be using technology that makes smartphones look like abacuses. And that we will be solving problems we don't yet know are problems. Based on this - we all have to be ready to change - to learn, unlearn and relearn. Be prepared to leverage your existing skills while also learning new ones. This is key to success in evolving future career models.

You’re facing a major professional challenge. How can you maintain resilience and come out on top?
I remember years ago at an event at our son’s school. A psychologist was talking to a group of parents about how to support our kid's individual talents. She said, “OK, everyone who does everything well, raise your hand!” Her point was that we each have certain talents, gifts, and proclivities. To progress on a career journey, you need to first understand who you are. What is it that makes you stand out as unique? Do a self-reflection on the unique gifts that make you you and exploit those characteristics!

You’re facing a major professional challenge. How can you maintain resilience and come out on top?
When considering how to react to a major professional challenge, I encourage you to take a step back and keep in mind the big picture. Innovative technologies continue to drive the 21st century's global borderless workplace. Today there is a robust, constantly morphing job economy with many exciting opportunities. Don't be afraid to investigate your next role!

Activities and Societies: Keynotes, panel discussions, focus groups
Bennington was the perfect college experience for me. I was able to design my own education and learn across multiple disciplines. I continue to be active in promoting these ideas - key to how today's learners will succeed in the global borderless job economy.
