BSP 128: Workplace Wisdom for 9 to Thrive by Nina Sunday

Nina Sunday, author of Workplace Wisdom for 9 to Thrive: Proven
Tactics and Hacks To Get Ahead in Today’s Workplace talks about
future-proofing one’s employability by improving our human skills.
A “tsunami of automation” is already upon us and that brings
opportunities, dangers, and pitfalls. Sunday says that in order to
prevent AI and automation to fully take over, we need to up our
human skills, which include collaboration, creating interpersonal
relationships, and demonstrating empathy. She says, “If you can up
your human skills, you’ll be the last one to lose your job.”
Sunday’s book is aimed at young professionals entering the
workforce as it is often unwritten ground rules and assumptions
that create confusion and miscommunication among team members.
Therefore, it is imperative that younger employees understand the
niceties of professionalism, giving them all of the necessary tools
to be poised and confident. One other “workplace wisdom” Sunday
offers is making sure employees become interdisciplinary, not
specialists. The more skills they acquire, the better opportunities
they have for career advancement. Learn more about your ad choices.
