"Look at your individual industry and role and see where you are in danger of being automated, and how you can upscale or rescale so that you are adding unique human value to that position." - Alexandra Levit

You've undoubtedly noticed that technological change and advancements in the workforce are happening faster than ever before. Are you concerned about how to lead and thrive in the organization of the future?

Today's expert guest on Finding Brave answers this question brilliantly, and shows us why the future world won't be doomsday, but instead, will be exciting, rewarding and full of opportunity for so many.

Alexandra Levit's goal is to prepare organizations and their employees to be competitive and marketable in the future business world. A former nationally syndicated columnist for the Wall Street Journal and writer for the New York Times, Fast Company, and Forbes, Alexandra has authored several books, including the international bestseller They Don't Teach Corporate in College and Humanity Works: Merging People and Technologies for the Workforce of the Future.

Alexandra recently became a partner with organizational development firm PeopleResults. She consults and writes on leadership development, human resources, technology adoption, entrepreneurship, innovation, career and workplace trends on behalf of numerous Fortune 500 companies including American Express, Canon, Deloitte, DeVry University, Intuit, SilkRoad, and Staples, and has spoken on these topics at hundreds of organizations around the world.

In the last several years, Alexandra has conducted proprietary research on the future of work, technology adoption, the millennial generation, gender differences and bias, and the skills gap. She also served as a member of Business Roundtable's Springboard Project, which advised the Obama administration, the U.S. Department of Labor, and the U.S. Department of Defense on current employment issues.

After listening to Alexandra on the future of work and where humanity fits in, you'll know why it's now a time to take brave action, and not sit back and let things happen to us. Change is here -- let's embrace it.
