Over the past week, I’ve been asked twice what I think the future of work will look like. And while it’s always fun to speculate, here’s the truth. 

There is no way to know with any precision what’s coming in the future. If there’s anything the past few years has taught us, it should be this. We don’t really know what’s going to happen. 

When people ask this question, what they are really asking is something different. 

What can I do so that I can prepare myself (and my organization) for whatever we might face down the road? 

THIS is a good question. And you don’t need clarity about the future to answer it.  

Instead, you need to look for signals that indicate what is most likely to happen in the future. Then, you can use these signals to inform your efforts to become more resilient and adaptable in facing whatever future you might face. 

In today’s video, I highlight four signals that should have your full attention and what two things you should do right now to prepare yourself and your organization to thrive on the journey ahead. 

What other signals are you seeing that might give us some insights into what may lie ahead? Please share in the comments. I’d love to know what you are seeing.
