6 Meta-Skills for Career Success
Discover how to level up your career in 2024
Skills allow us to execute. Meta-skills like empathy, resilience, creativity and self-awareness allow us to evolve. As organizations and industries face increasing disruption and upheaval at the hands of AI, digitization and rapidly changing global markets, up-skilling and re-skilling are essential to meet the challenges of the future.
Meta-skills are the connective tissue that allow individuals to let go of the skills that have anchored their past success and reach out to learn new skills for the future. In an era of rapid change, they are quickly becoming the currency of talent.
Watch this free 60-minute webinar to learn how to “future-proof” your career by building your capacity for up-skilling and re-skilling.

- Workplace trends driving the need for re-skilling and up-skilling
- Why meta-skills matter at work
- The role that re-skilling and up-skilling play in successful careers
