Summary

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast with Severin Sorensen, where we delve into the art and science of executive coaching. In this episode, we broach a topic of significant import that's already influencing businesses, executives, employees, and the executive coaches who guide them - the AI revolution. This revolution signifies a potential upheaval of the job market through automation, impacting millions of workers. Rather than dwelling on a dystopian future, we maintain a hopeful outlook, urging listeners to engage proactively and prepare for what lies ahead by equipping companies and executives with the necessary wisdom, insights, and understanding.

Our conversation unfolds in two parts. Firstly, we delve into the current happenings and projections regarding the acceleration of automation, its consequences on job markets, and the resultant workforce displacement. We unveil 22 high-demand jobs in the AI era, which will likely offer plentiful opportunities for those adequately trained and flexible enough to rise to the challenge. Now, more than ever, individuals must commit to lifelong learning to stay relevant.

The second segment pays tribute to the late Kevin Rafferty, a former Vistage Chair and a strong advocate for conscious capitalism. A true humanitarian, Kevin's sudden demise due to cancer was a significant loss. We honor his contributions and bid farewell to a dear friend by sharing excerpts from our interview, where he discussed his views on conscious capitalism and his love for humanity.

In essence, we are intertwining two themes: the rapid transformation of the workplace and the importance of conscious capitalism. We'll discuss the potential job losses, identify where new opportunities may arise, and emphasize the value of being 'good' stewards of capital, prioritizing societal benefits over mere profit. As a conclusion, I will apply Clayton Christensen's "jobs to be done" framework to breakdown the tasks ahead.
