Working life has drastically changed in the past two years, alongside this there has been a shift in the core skills that we need to thrive in a flexible and hybrid working world.
According to The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2021 the top skills and skill groups which employers see as rising in prominence in the lead up to 2025 include creative thinking, critical thinking, and analysis, as well as problem-solving and skills in self-management, such as active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility. Research by LinkedIn has found that the top skill that companies are looking for overall is creativity. We know that within a hybrid and flexible working world core skills are connection, creativity and collaboration.
Every successful working environment and good opportunity starts with a connection. Connection is two-way. Through offering your thoughts and perspectives you help and create opportunities for others.
Being able to think creatively to solve problems is becoming a more important skill than ever before. The lone genius having a lightbulb moment is a myth. Connection is important for creativity. When people talk and connect, ideas flow.
Ideas are hard to get off the ground, and change can be difficult to implement on your own and that’s where the skill of collaboration comes in. Together we achieve more.
But what do connection, creativity and collaboration mean? How do you create working environments where collaboration creativity and connection are the norm and part of our working culture?
Join Helen Denny, founder at Not9to5, and Lucy Gower, founder at Lucidity, on Thursday 9 June and learn:
- An easy way to quickly connect with others
- Practical tips to develop your creative thinking skills
- An approach to enable more meaningful collaborations
- How these skills will enable you to thrive in a flexible and hybrid world.
Join us for this engaging networking event on Thursday 9 June, 6pm-8pm (UK time).
