As automation increases and our world becomes more feeling-oriented, the need for "uniquely human" skills is rapidly rising. We're entering the fourth industrial revolution—the Augmented Age—and there's going to be a lot of reshuffling happening. There will be twice the number of jobs, new industries, new skills, but also a lot of jobs will become obsolete. This session aims to strengthen the human capabilities that matter the most right now, such as self-awareness, curiosity, originality, empathy, resilience, collaboration, intuition, and adaptability. As a participant, you can expect to walk away with an entrepreneurial mindset, think more like an innovator, and become a better problem-solver.
