How to Steer Your Career in the Emerging "Gig" Economy

Rizers know that the world is changing. Career trends point to a world where one-track careers are gone forever. The latest word is that we are shifting to a "gig" economy and can expect to have three or more careers at once. Freelance and contract positions are becoming much more appealing to employers and far more prevalent among workers. Even if you hold a full-time position in a stable company it is highly unlikely that you will be doing that job 18 months from now.

As the fundamentals of the economy change, and with it the "career-path thinking" we have held to be true, more people are looking for a logical way to navigate the changes. This presentation addresses three simple questions that will help you focus on where you want to go next.

We begin with a simple but powerful framework to assess what your career "sweet spot" is at this point in your life. We discuss what you like to do, what you are good at, and what people will pay you to do. The sweet spot is the constantly moving and evolving intersection of the answers to these three questions. It is an engaging conversation appropriate for those actively seeking to make a job change, a change in career direction, or for anyone considering the value you bring your in your current role and plotting your next move with your current employer.

The length of this presentation is 35 - 50 minutes, with extra time available for Q&A. Contact us about scheduling an event with your organization.
