Agile Learning in the Future of Work 

In the future of work, we know we need to upskill and contribute in ways that robots or logarithms cannot. However, despite the rhetoric on the vital importance of upskilling to stay relevant, the motivation to learn, the capacity to be curious, and the skill in learning remain woeful. Learning is not attending training. Learning is also not consuming content on the phone. Learning is not sustained by monetary incentives. 

Learning takes effort. Learning requires time. Learning calls for strategy. Learning is also life, we grow new capabilities, expand our sense of identity and allow our full potential to unfold. Lifelong learning can only be sustained by the clarity in one’s career direction, drive to succeed despite challenges, and the intrinsic motivation to learn. In this process, following our curiosity is like a breath of fresh air. Our metacognitive ability also guides us in scaffolding a string of activities to learn fast and effectively. So that learning is successful, insightful, and joyful. 

In this keynote, you will learn to:

Go beyond growth mindset to identify the various dimensions of a learning mindset 

Architect your learning process and be more effective as a learner 

Learn the best practices of adult lifelong learners who thrived in their careers 

Sustain your own learning efforts so you gain mastery in your intended skill 

Leverage your learning capacity to be your best self
