At Progressfull we like to say keeping balanced and staying on the front-foot involves being willing to stick your neck out, yet for a lot of us, honestly, we prefer to stay stuck where we are

The thing is, staying stuck where we are, when it comes to the world of work, can often mean stuck like a sitting duck. Stuck with outdated skill-sets, mind-sets and behaviours. This is frankly, not a great idea if we want to be relaxed and fizzing with excitement about opportunities ahead of us in our future work life

Let’s face it, in today’s world, even the walls we have propped our career ladders against are themselves moving

The great news is, even in this evermoving world, skills and insight acquired in a previous caree...

At a party recently in an idyllic setting with children running amongst wild meadows and adults chatting over chilled rosé, as the sun set sleepily over the rolling hills in the distance – there were 2 topics of conversation – which was the best act at Glastonbury and what can we personally do to stop ourselves being replaced by robots – aka AI?

Since last October, artificial intelligence — in particular ChatGPT and its recently revealed successor, GPT-4 — has been the hot topic in conversations about the future of business, work, and creativity.
