Event Details

The world is changing at the fastest pace in history. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), technological advancements, economic uncertainty, demographic shifts, and the green transition will dramatically reshape the global labour market by 2030. In this dynamic environment, resilience and gritโ€”the ability to persevere through challenges and adapt in uncertaintyโ€”have become essential. But what exactly are resilience and grit? How do we measure them? And most importantly, how do we build them?


Join us for this insightful webinar, where we will explore the science behind resilience and grit, practical ways to assess them, and actionable strategies to strengthen them in both personal and professional life. The WEF 2025 Future of Jobs Report highlights that resilience, flexibility, agility (#2) and motivation & self-awareness (#5) are among the top 5 most valued skills by employers today, making this an unmissable session for anyone looking to future-proof their career and thrive in an uncertain world.
