The world has forever changed. How will you respond to increase your chances of remaining employable? What new skills will help you to pivot in your career?
In August 2018, I published the article The Skills You Need To Succeed In 2020. The article has had close to 200,000 views to date, and this tells me that it is a topic that is important.
