Futureproofing Your Career: become irreplaceable in the age of AI
Are you fascinated by how swiftly the world of work and research is changing in the face of AI and automation? Do you want to ensure you build a futureproof skillset in the face of emerging technologies? Then join us for our in-person GroWISE workshop with speaker Nikita Khandwala, and equip yourself with the durable mindset and skills you need to thrive in a rapidly changing future of work.
By the end of this workshop, you will feel empowered to become the CEO of your career. Nikita’s cutting-edge Futureproof Formula focuses on equipping you with the durable mindset and skills you need to thrive in a rapidly changing future of work.

The Futureproof Formula is an 8-part framework that breaks down the process of designing your career as if it were a company. We’ll start with how to identify your values to craft a personal theory of change and move on to how to build a futureproof skillset in the face of AI, while supplementing your skills with a strong personal brand and personal board of advisors.

This will be a highly interactive workshop that will get you to think intentionally about how you design your career for maximum impact.
