Amidst the serene backdrop of our retreat, our inaugural cohort found a moment of respite from the stress of their early career endeavors. Recent data shows that a staggering number of early career professionals feel disengaged due to job-related stress. That’s why our retreat aimed to provide not only skill-building opportunities but also a tranquil environment for rejuvenation. We believe we’ve achieved our goal of equipping them to navigate their professional journeys with resilience and purpose. 🌿💼 #ConnectivityUncapped #ProfessionalDevelopment #StressRelief

Will #AI replace YOUR job? 🤔 I've been hearing this question a lot lately. Folks are seeing the power of #artificialintelligence, #machinelearning, and emerging trends with #generativeAI. And, it's a valid question, after all, GenAI has some pretty mind-blowing capabilities. 🤯 Yet the power of the human being and the human mind goes beyond simple processing and generating outputs. 🧠 It's about innovation, creativity, empathy, grit, and sometimes the illogical (which if you talk with any #entrepreneur, they'll tell you a LOT of entrepreneurship is illogical!) The single best way to SECURE your career is to invest in YOUR education! Up-leveling your skills, your creativity and your problem-solving are the path forward today...and tomorrow. Because while machines will always be with us, humans will be needed to decide how to best operate, navigate, deploy and utilize them, and the data they produce. THAT is why education is so powerful and important. ESPECIALLY NOW! We ARE in a "separation season" as one of my favorite #highperformance coaches, Ed Mylett is known for saying. And in this season of separation, high-achievers will do more, earn more and be more. And those who sit on the sidelines and wait to see what will happen, they will be left behind. If YOU are reading this, my bet is that you're a #highachiever and that you WILL not only survive but THRIVE in the future! Walsh College is here for you every step of the way. 🏃♀️ This is YOUR time to finish your degree, start your master's, earn your doctorate, and LOCK in the BEST future for family and create the BEST life for yourself. Don't delay, enroll with us for our April 1st start today: ➡ https://lnkd.in/gaTVP3ei

Catch up on the latest Lunchtime Byte: Career EQ—Career Planet with Kaye Avery CareerEQ understands that many people, particularly young people, are now uncertain about their prospects for a successful future. Our accustomed ways of thinking about our place in the world are being challenged by the lifestyles we have grown accustomed to. The advent of artificial intelligence and climate change will bring about a significant change in the world of work, rendering many jobs and career paths obsolete, while at the same time creating many new opportunities that we are yet to discover.

Had the privilege of mentoring three recent graduates this week as they embark on their early careers. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversations: 1) Gen Z is incredibly intelligent, hardworking, and entrepreneurial. Their ability to seek out work they believe in and feel connected to is truly inspiring! 💡 2) There's no single "right" answer in your career path. Having diverse skills and interests might make it harder to pinpoint the perfect starting role, but it's excellent preparation for our unpredictable, ever-changing world. 🔍 3) If planning the next five steps feels overwhelming, slow down and focus on one step at a time. Taking that first step doesn't mean you'll fall off a cliff; it means gaining valuable experience that will serve you well. 🚶♂️ Good luck to everyone hustling to figure it all out! 🚀 #earlytalent #careerjourney #onestepatatime
