My friends, amigos interested in Leadership & Innovation,
I just survived three freezing, back-to-back days at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2025 in Davos, Switzerland. Coming straight from LATAM, where innovation is fast, gritty, and fearless, the contrast with Europe’s slow, methodical approach hit me hard.
Lesson learned? The world isn’t waiting for you to catch up.
If you’re not pivoting, upgrading, and thinking ahead, someone else is already taking your spot.
Let’s cut to the chase.
5 Brutal Career Shifts You Can’t Ignore
- 22% of today’s jobs will be disrupted by 2030. New ones will emerge, but millions will disappear.
- AI is eating jobs, not just in tech. Adapt or get replaced—period.
- 39% of your current skills will be useless in a few years. (Let that sink in.)
- Resilience, persuasion, and digital smarts are now non-negotiable.
- Sustainability skills are exploding—even if you don’t care about climate change.
7 Moves to Stay in the Game (Or Level Up Fast)
1️ Be the CEO of Your Career—NOW
Your boss isn’t planning your next step. You are. Build your brand, make yourself visible, and own your worth.
2️ Dominate AI (Or Watch Others Pass You By)
AI isn’t just for techies. Learn how to use it, fast. Prompt engineering, automation, smart decision-making—get on it.
3️ Get Skills That Make You Untouchable
Forget “nice to haves.” Master persuasion, influence, data smarts, and adaptability—these will keep you in demand.
4️ Network Like Your Life Depends on It
It does. Cross-border connections = career insurance. Meet people outside your bubble. No más excusas.
5️ Think Like an Entrepreneur, Even in a Job
Job security is a fantasy. Build a side gig, revenue stream, or high-value skill to stay in control.
6️ Stay Uncomfortable—That’s Where Growth Is
Your skills expire fast. Reskilling isn’t optional, it’s your survival plan. No one will do it for you.
7️ Master Emotional Intelligence—AI Can’t Compete
Machines analyze, but they don’t inspire. Influence, negotiate, lead like a boss—that’s your edge.
