6 Meta-Skills for Career Success

When:

1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Where:
online
Room:
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Skills allow us to execute. Meta-skills like empathy, resilience, creativity and self-awareness allow us to evolve. As organizations and industries face increasing disruption and upheaval at the hands of AI, digitization and rapidly changing global markets, up-skilling and re-skilling are essential to meet the challenges of the future. 

Meta-skills are the connective tissue that allow individuals to let go of the skills that have anchored their past success and reach out to learn new skills for the future. In an era of rapid change, they are quickly becoming the currency of talent. 

On Thursday, January 18 at 1 p.m. (ET) join Smith Business Insight and Queen’s Excutive Education for this free 60-minute webinar to learn how to “future-proof” your career by building your capacity for up-skilling and re-skilling. 

You will learn: 

  • Workplace trends driving the need for re-skilling and up-skilling
  • Why meta-skills matter at work
  • The role that re-skilling and up-skilling play in successful careers
  • The three stages that anchor successful re-skilling journeys
  • How to build the six meta-skills that employers are looking for 

This session will be of interest to everyone who is looking to build their career and keep pace with the evolving world of work.

Incapacity Planning and End-of-Life Decision-Making: A Primer
 
Join Leanne Kaufman, Law’96, President and CEO of RBC Royal Trust, and Alexandra Manthorpe, Law’10, a lawyer with the Wills & Estates Group at Cunningham Swan for this primer moderated by Professor David Freedman. While much of the Canadian population is now expected to live to very advanced ages, statistics tell us that dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment increase substantially after age 85. Our panellists will address how Ontario law deals with Powers of Attorney (POAs) and “substitute decision-makers” and will talk about who gets to make decisions for a person when that person lacks the requisite mental capacity to make his or her own personal care or property decisions. They will also discuss some matters affecting POAs and “substitute decision-makers” that are commonly litigated.
