Podcasts about reskilling

Forget everything you knew about hiring.  That market died in 2021 and left no forwarding address. What replaced it?  A system where 75% of executive positions fill before posting.  Where referrals convert 900% better than applications.  Where your LinkedIn profile matters more than your résumé. This isn't temporary turbulence—it's permanent infrastructure.  Cost of nostalgia: $80K per quarter of missed compensation. In this solo episode, Loren breaks down the 3 biggest myths executives over 40 are still clinging onto— and the new framework for getting hired before jobs are even posted. What the best candidates are doing differently in a slow market Why “just applying more” is the worst strategy you can use How to stop tweaking your résumé and start showing up where it matters The 3 Rs of career rewiring: Relationships. Relevance. Reskilling. Plus Loren also shares a real client story from a client who had zero digital footprint and hadn't job searched in 14 years..  And how she went from an outdated LinkedIn profile… To a booked speaker on AI in HR… To being asked to be the CEO of an HR AI Startup.  The market moved. Move with it. Loved the episode?

Reskilling und Upskilling der Belegschaft sind heutzutage eine der wichtigsten Baustellen für HR. Wer in Fortbildung investiert, investiert auch in die Zukunft des Unternehmens. Dabei wollen sich Arbeitgeber gerne mit Fortbildungsverträgen absichern, damit die Mitarbeitenden nicht kurz nach der Weiterbildung das Unternehmen verlassen. Was dabei beachtet werden muss, und wieso so viele Fortbildungsverträge vor Gericht nicht standhalten, erklären Susa und Laura.Außerdem blicken die beiden auf eine erschreckende Statistik: In den meisten deutschen Vorständen gibt es keine oder kaum HR-Expertise.

Career growth starts with stepping outside your comfort zone.Building a successful career isn't about following a set path—it's about knowing when to evolve and embracing change. Whitney Johnson believes that success comes from disrupting yourself—challenging routines, stepping into discomfort, and continuously evolving. “People think staying in their comfort zone is the safe choice,” she explains, “but real growth happens when we take intentional risks.”As a bestselling author and leadership expert, Johnson has spent years helping individuals and organizations navigate change. She breaks down the S-curve of learning, a framework that helps professionals recognize when it's time to move on, pivot, or double down on their current path. From identifying signs of stagnation to developing strategies for career reinvention, she shares practical tools for making bold moves with confidence.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Johnson joins host Matt Abrahams to explore why mastery can be a sign that it's time for a change, how to manage the discomfort that comes with growth, and why personal disruption isn't just a challenge—it's the key to long-term success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Whitney JohnsonWhitney's Books: Disrupt Yourself / Smart GrowthEp.147 Disrupt Yourself: How to Innovate Who You Are and Become Who You Can Be  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - What Is Personal Disruption?

In 2019, the OECD warned that 14% of global jobs would be eliminated and another 32% would be dramatically transformed by automation. Fast-forward to today, and that prediction feels like an understatement. Generative AI like ChatGPT has accelerated change at a pace no one saw coming. The shelf life of a skill? Less than five years. In tech, sometimes less than three. In this episode with Dr. Bray, we're digging deep into what this seismic shift means for the future of work and how companies must respond. From CEOs to HR leaders, and from frontline managers to hourly workers, the pressure is on to rethink roles, retrain talent, and rebuild strategy from the ground up. What You'll Learn: Why upskilling alone isn't enough in today's AI-driven workplace The five paradigm shifts that define successful reskilling efforts Real-world examples from Amazon, Vodafone, Ericsson, CVS, and more Why reskilling is more than training—it's strategic, cultural, and collaborative We'll also explore how organizations can: Treat reskilling as a competitive advantage, not just a cost center Empower employees to navigate career shifts with confidence Break down internal silos and avoid ‘talent hoarding' Leverage partnerships with nonprofits, governments, and colleges to scale up fast Whether you're a leader navigating digital disruption, a workforce strategist, or simply curious about how AI is reshaping work, this episode delivers the practical insights and bold thinking you need to stay ahead. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY “You can't change people — but you can teach them how to adapt, how to learn, and how to be curious.” “Middle managers are the most important individuals in the organization.”

On this episode of Back to Work, we are joined by Becca Donovan, director of HR and organizational development at Yoh, for a crash course in upskilling and reskilling. As the competition for talent intensifies, companies are increasingly employing these processes to attract, retain and elevate their workforce. The opportunities for learning and development enabled by upskilling and reskilling are mutually beneficial – employees can enhance their skillsets and advance their careers, while employers can adapt to industry changes and be perceived as forward-looking.Becca breaks down the differences between upskilling and reskilling, turning to Yoh's own benefits as examples. She also provides step-by-step guidance for companies seeking to develop or strengthen their upskilling and reskilling programs, including tips for measuring impact, collaborating with hiring managers and HR partners, and supporting employees as they grow. The best efforts, according to Becca, are driven by leaders who take time to explain the ‘why' and demonstrate to employees how upskilling and reskilling programs can improve their day-to-day work experiences.The episode concludes with a discussion on best practices for using upskilling and reskilling to future-proof operations and encourage employees to embrace new technology, including artificial intelligence and automation. With these tools constantly reshaping the world of work, companies are being asked about their position on upskilling and reskilling more than ever. Organizations that prioritize employee development are best positioned to attract talent, retain talent and, ultimately, grow their business.For more information, listeners are invited to connect with Becca on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/becca-donovan-815b7a11) or via email (Rebecca.Donovan@dayzim.com).

Harvard Business School professor Raffaella Sadun's research has historically focused on digital reskilling. Now, rapid technological changes — like AI — are reshaping the nature of work. Raffaella's research has explored how AI might empower those with intermediate expertise, such as store managers and blue-collar workers, to become more efficient and satisfied in their roles. She shares a bit about her research on today's episode of Me, Myself, and AI and highlights the potential for AI to improve teamwork and innovation by bridging the gaps between different functional teams. Her experiments show that AI can enhance productivity and output quality, sometimes even substituting for team collaboration, while also improving speed and efficiency in problem-solving tasks. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Raffaella Sadun is the Charles E. Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, where she cochairs the Project on Managing the Future of Work and is coprincipal investigator of the Digital Reskilling Lab.

AI's Role in Business Transformation (00:59)Bill McDermott notes a shift in CEOs from mere fascination with AI to AI-led business strategies. He sees ServiceNow's role in AI transformation as being that of a "control tower." AI has impacted several business areas including customer service, supply chains, employee onboarding, and risk mitigation. It's also a great tool for labor arbitrage. That's not to mention that AI agents can operate 24/7 without breaks, complementing human efforts.Agentic AI, A Holistic Solution (04:01)Agentic AI is on the rise and will serve customers, employees, and operations, taking over tasks computers handle more efficiently than humans. While current AI agents are often siloed within departments, ServiceNow's platform integrates these agents across the enterprise, offering a holistic solution. "So now you have the agents working together to accomplish something," McDermott says, "as opposed to just doing something for one function." The foundation for this integration lies in a unified data model and architecture.Customer Trust and Innovation (06:53)Trust is the ultimate human currency. Without it, McDermott says, there's no progress. Customers know they can trust ServiceNow and its technology. He mentions its investments in customer success programs, innovation accelerators, and strategic partnerships to drive business impact. Net new innovation must be delivered to customers, employees, and shareholders through both traditional and new consumption models.Partnerships and Integration (10:29)McDermott discusses ServiceNow's partnerships and the potential for a multi-cloud approach similar to the infrastructure side. He's confident in the market's ability to accommodate multiple players and points to expanded collaborations with Cognizant, NVIDIA, and others. He talks about ServiceNow's integration with hyper-scalers including Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud, showcasing the benefits of a comprehensive platform for business processes. "We're open, and we integrate with everybody."Balancing Trust and Innovation (14:29)Balancing trust and innovation in the AI era is a challenge as ServiceNow becomes increasingly embedded in customers' operations. McDermott emphasizes the value of trusted partnerships and selective collaboration to sustain customer trust. He highlights ServiceNow's partnership with NVIDIA and its recognition in the American Opportunity Index, which measures employee prosperity post-employment.The Future of Work and AI (16:34)In the future, AI will revolutionize work by reducing monotonous tasks and freeing up time for innovation. ServiceNow is part of creating that future, already using AI to simplify complex workflows, saving employees significant time and allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks. "This is a renaissance moment for the workers. They get to get rid of the soul-crushing work that they've never wanted to do anyway." Reskilling the workforce will be necessary for this revolution and is being done through initiatives like ServiceNow University and the AI Institute.

In a world where skills gaps are widening and job demands are evolving at unprecedented rates, understanding how to gain a "skills advantage" is critical for organizations to stay competitive. In this episode, Anish Lalchandani, author of The Skills Advantage, delves into his insights on bridging skills gaps, building resilient teams, and preparing organizations for the future. Anish walks us through his approach, discussing how the right skills strategy can shift a team from good to exceptional and position L&D as a driver of business transformation. Whether you're a leader looking to upskill your team or an L&D professional aiming to create a sustainable skills strategy, this conversation is packed with actionable insights. KEY TAKEAWAYS The established approach to L&D is no longer enough. L&D needs to go beyond business alignment and take the lead in equipping our businesses to thrive in the future. You don´t have the wrong people, they have the wrong skills. Employees need to be convinced that upskilling benefits them and the business. A huge proportion of executive transitions fail, and we need to address this. What is going on in the market and industry helps you identify future skill needs. Use technology to help with your data analysis and become more agile. When you demonstrate impact, you get permission to do more. BEST MOMENTS “The established approach to L&D is no longer enough.” “Reskilling is a long-term game, start now.” “We need to hold ourselves accountable to actual upskilling and not just providing learning.” “You don´t have the wrong people, they have the wrong skills.” “The risk of relying on firing and hiring is extraordinary.” Anish Lalchandani Bio Anish Lalchandani is the author of the book ‘The Skills Advantage: A Human-Centered, Sustainable and Scalable Approach to Reskilling’. Having held leadership roles at leading firms like A.P. Moller Maersk (current), General Electric, Standard Chartered Bank and other organizations, he has developed extensive expertise in Talent, OD, Leadership and HR Strategy. In addition to being a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, he is also a certified professional coach and mentor to start-up founders. Several publications, including Economic Times, Thinkers360, LeadersHum and HRD, rate him as one of the top influencers in HR and the Future of Work.
