These “People” Don’t Exist, But They May Take Your Job!
In These People Do Not Exist, But They May Get Your Job, I will take you through the awareness stage of what is real today, has adoption, and answer the most important question, “Now what? How do I level up and skill up to create multiple paths to income in the Future of Work?”
Awareness Stage:

Ok, Now What?
Over the next few weeks, I will answer the question “Now what? How do I level up and skill up to create multiple paths to income in the Future of Work?” and make these “people” who don’t really exist part of my workforce or get hired to create them.
Why iMPOWERED? My company’s tagline and my personal tagline is “Ahead of the Curve.” Old wisdom is that those “Ahead of the Curve” only get paid after they are dead. Welcome to the Future of Work, where career survival, sustainability, and success depend on being ahead of the curve in adopting new mindsets, processes, and technology! It is an exciting time to be iMPOWERED!
