What if the thing you think disqualifies you… is actually the start of your greatest strength?

In this episode of Shine a Light, Christine Miles sits down with Dr. Keith Keating, Chief Learning Officer at BDO, workforce futurist, and author of The Trusted Learning Advisor and Hidden Value. Keith shares his powerful journey from being a high school dropout navigating homelessness and self-doubt to earning a doctorate and becoming a global leader in learning and development.

Together, Christine and Keith unpack why traditional ideas about success, education, and job security are rapidly changing—and why learning may be the most powerful skill you can build for the future.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "job security" is a myth—and what actually protects your career • How learning can unlock confidence, purpose, and opportunity • The difference between the old knowledge economy and today's value economy

Keith's story is proof that success isn't defined by where you start—it's defined by your willingness to keep learning and keep going.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to pivot, grow, or reinvent yourself, this conversation will change how you see your path.
