In what ways are today’s workplace expectations shifting, and what does it mean for the future of professional growth? 


In this episode of the Culture First podcast, Damon Klotz sits down with Isabel Berwick, the Working Careers Editor at the Financial Times and author of the bestseller 'The Future Proofed Career,' to tackle these very questions. 


Isabel and Damon discuss key themes around adapting to uncertainty, the role of AI in the workplace, the significance of curiosity, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. They also touch on the importance of career development, building relationships and networks, practical advice for self-advocacy, and specific tips for engaging with senior leadership.

Key Takeaways: 


  1. Embracing change and uncertainty: It’s important to be comfortable with uncertainty, particularly around career development. Today’s rapidly changing landscape requires us to not only accept change but actively engage with it to better understand and navigate new norms.
  2. The value of human skills: As AI and automation become more prevalent, human elements like creativity, empathy, and interpersonal skills become crucial. These skills are what differentiate us from machines and add unique value to our work.
  3. Importance of visibility and self-advocacy: Practicing self-advocacy and visibility can help you stay top-of-mind in your organization. Ways to do so include being present in meetings (both physically and virtually), promoting others' work alongside your own, and using clear communication during meaningful interactions, like speaking with a CEO.
