"When most people envision the future of work, they often think of millennials on their laptops in coffee shops or taking Zoom calls from home.” [Well think again]  said Jodi Kovitz, CEO of the HRPA - Human Resources Professionals Association, as she kicked off her conversation. On my very first LinkedIn Live, hosted by Jodi, we unpacked a seismic shift underway - a rethink of aging from a decline to a source of value.  The Longevity Revolution is one of the biggest forces shaping the future of work. 8.5 million Canadians are aged 55–74, a vast reservoir of talent, insight, and leadership.  We need all hands on deck to build a stronger, more inclusive, Canada. In a world that stamps a “best before” date on everything - including people - wisdom is the ultimate disruption. Your Third Act isn’t an endgame; it’s your next great play. #WisdomWorkers bring experience; human skills like judgement, empathy, and problem solving and social capital can be harnessed in many ways, such as: 🔹 Advisors: provide expert guidance within a specific area, focusing on long-term relationships and strategic insights, unlike consultants, who typically handle short-term, task-specific projects. 🔹 Business Development: leverage relationships to open doors. 🔹 Be part of Inter-Generational Teams: offer a powerful blend of diverse perspectives, cross-generational knowledge transfer, broader skill sets, and improved collaboration, leading to creative problem-solving, better decision-making, and greater organizational resilience in a rapidly changing world. 🔹 Mentoring and teaching younger generations (and learning from them). Curious about harnessing the power of wisdom in the future of work? Check out the 25 minute conversation: https://lnkd.in/gCamTrbX. I’m delighted to have just become an advisor to the CEO of the HRPA, to share my experience built over four decades.  More about the HRPA: It is Ontario’s HR regulator and association, supporting a community of 24,000 professionals and students. Through learning opportunities, resources, and a strong network, the HRPA empowers HR leaders to navigate the evolving world of work, drive business success, and create safe, inclusive workplaces.   If you're looking to elevate your impact as an HR leader or professional, look into an HRPA membership (link in comments).
