Five Skills to Future-proof Your Career

The five often-ignored skills that every professional must sharpen to succeed in the Gig Economy and to create value through Intellectual Property.

Show Notes

The biggest mindset shift that we all need to make is to take personal responsibility for our careers.

 

We discuss the five skills that are timeless and universally applicable to all professionals.

 

1. Build Your Identity: What are you good at, and how do you let the world know that you are good at it?

 

2. Learn to Sell: The ability to sell, whether it is a product, service or an idea, is the most important capability for any professional, whether you are a young manager, a CEO or an entrepreneur.

 

3. Learn to Code: Every business today is a technology business. If you don’t understand how to leverage technology to create uniqueness in your business, you are losing out. Coding is a way of capturing your intelligence or capability, and giving it reach, power, and repeatability. 

 

4. Understand Money and Wealth: Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep.Money is a mechanism for the exchange of time, goods or other valuable things.

 

I would recommend listening to podcasts by Naval Ravikant who has inspired some of the learnings that I have shared in this episode. https://nav.al

What is VALYOU: Create Personal Competitive Advantage in Your Career?

Srinivasa Addepalli and all the other gurus at GlobalGyan Academy of Management Education share their secrets of how to build a successful career. Speaking from their years of experience across sectors, geographies and functions, they offer practical insights on how you can create competitive advantage for yourself. In the future of work, you will face competition from not only others like you but also talented people across the world, and even machines! Most young people believe that graduating from a well-known college with a coveted degree will set them up for life, but that is no longer a guarantor of success. Firstly, a majority of smart young people do not get admission into such colleges. And even if they do, what they learn during those few years is often meaningless compared to what they would need to do over the next 30 to 40 years. Creating competitive advantage requires us to learn new, relevant skills but that is not all; just like businesses need to think of the 4Ps (and more), individuals need to work on multiple dimensions to create their own strategy to win in the marketplace for talent. Discover how you can uniquely design and build your career, from those who have succeeded and failed at doing so.
