Episode notes

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest questions in the future of work:

💡 What are the skills that will truly future-proof your career?

By 2030, 85% of the jobs that will exist haven’t even been invented yet. AI is already automating tasks we thought required human intelligence—so what skills will actually set us apart?

The answer isn’t just technical skills like coding or design. Those can be learned, updated, or even replaced by AI. Instead, the most valuable skills of the future are the human skills—the ones machines can’t replicate:

✔️ Critical Thinking – Navigating complexity and misinformation
✔️ Emotional Intelligence (EQ) – Thriving in a world of automation
✔️ Communication – Translating complexity into clarity
✔️ Cultural Intelligence (CQ) – Working across global teams

📌 Key Takeaway: The future of UX and work in general won’t be about what tools you know—it will be about how you think, connect, and adapt.
