Rachel Sumner is an Executive Coach, Mentor & Education Specialist and the owner of www.futureofworkready.com which supports young people and their families as they make important decisions about life after High School. As a Mum of three, she is acutely aware of the need for better education about the Future of Work so that our children not only survive but thrive in the decades ahead. If you’re a working woman, and/or you’ve got children, you won’t want to miss this fascinating discussion!
Many of the “soft” skills that women typically possess more than men, such as empathy, caring, creativity and collaboration, cannot be replicated by robots. These skills will therefore be in higher demand as automated workplaces become the norm. Wendy and Rachel also discuss the connection between burnout and these skills, which women will be increasingly called upon to use on the job as well as at home in the future. They also discuss how we need to prepare our kids for the future of work. Things are very different than they were when we graduated high school, and we need to do a better job of preparing our teens for that. Tune in to find out how!
