Ep. 89 - Fluidity & The Future of Work: Trends, Stories and Examples from Strategic Momentum
The notion that “change is constant” is practically our new motto here at Strategic Momentum, as we study the workforce trends shaping the future of work in the coming years. Due to COVID-19 and the numerous crises over the last year, we’re all coming to terms with the fact that we’re living in an increasingly dynamic world.
We’re shifting from singularity to multiplicity, from linearity to intersectionality, and from rigidity to flexibility. It’s no doubt the pandemic is changing things, and we have to be more fluid now than ever to get through it.
Fluidity, of course, is a significant theme in Connie’s book, Building the Business of You. But it wasn’t a new idea that just came about during the pandemic — it's a trend that Connie has observed over the last few years, especially with interviews on this very show. We’ve had guests who have demonstrated how they’ve earned their success not by sticking to one clear path but by moving through various roles and companies, even pivoting as many as 11 times, to learn and develop the skills and perspectives that lead them to where they are today.
In this episode, Connie revisits some of these interviews, dating back as far as 2018, to uncover some of the stories that supported the development of the fluidity concept in Building the Business of You.
These stories cover situational fluidity, mindset fluidity, and location fluidity, to name a few. And all of this points to one main idea: the way forward in this ever-changing world is embracing change and going where the “cheese” is. That’s how you create your career mashup and reach your true growth potential.
