Future Proof Your Career

The future of work is here.
Roles are shifting, skills are expiring faster than ever, and technology is redefining how value is created. Career success depends less on titles and tenure and more on adaptability and personal agency.
In this session, Rishad Tobaccowala—a globally respected strategist, author, and advisor—distills decades of experience into clear, practical guidance for navigating continuous change. Drawing from his latest thinking on careers, leadership, and the modern workplace, Rishad offers a candid look at what it really takes to stay valuable in a world shaped by AI, automation, and constant disruption.
Participants will learn how to:
- Take ownership of their careers by adopting a “Company of One” mindset — managing their own learning, growth, and relevance
- Build durable skills and a professional reputation that travel across roles, companies, and industries
- Stay indispensable by strengthening uniquely human skills (judgment, creativity, curiosity, and emotional agility) that technology can’t replace
- Turn change into an advantage by developing habits that support lifelong learning and continuous reinvention
