Phones, tablets, robots… Every skill you have today and that you believe is marketable won't be in a few short years. These will be some skills though that will remain in extreme demand for a decade or so. AI engineers. Why? Because somebody needs to deploy the wonderful alien technology we've discovered - to increase automation of every company and organization. Some will become millionaires, and billionaires. Most will be employees. I saw the trend 25 years ago with communications. Great jobs, great opportunities to create your companies… Now, telecom engineers are pure commodity. This cycle happens all the time. This is why getting just a new diploma, a new degree, a new certificate, won’t save you. It’s not a waste of time or money, no. I’m not saying that. It’s always good to learn new things. It is just that despite those new learnings and trends, there is one, and one only that keeps you going on. Not for the next decade, but many more year. Your personal growth. Control on your career, on your business, on your money. It took me a long, long time to realize that it’s not knowledge, but communication. It’s not studying, but action. It’s not perfectionism, but learning from mistakes. It’s not a pay check, but a stream of revenues that will keep you in the right track when retirement time arrives. Last day at this price.

When I was a junior project manager trying to discuss with a senior construction manager where to put some fiber optics for a toll system, he told me a story… In a large tunnel project, they had spent weeks arguing about where to put a temporary installation. Not fiber optics… but almost. Design said one thing. Construction said another. The client wanted the classic miracle: “No impact on cost. No impact on programme. No impact on risk.” Of course. And I want to eat croissants every morning...
Many people live in fear. And that’s a terrible place to be. They don’t raise their hand. They don’t do a stand. They don’t publish in social media… Because of fear. And please, let me know that if you’re one of those… your worries are not justified. It is physically and neurologically impossible for you to control what someone else thinks. I guess that you knew that, right? Well.. The average human being has about 70,000 thoughts a day. 70k… yes. Most of which are random and cannot be...
Work is the #1 cause of life stress for most people. Probably, this is not a surprise to you. What that research shows though is that your manager has as much impact on your mental health as your spouse. Burnout is real. Working hard and not being recognized, promoted or getting a pat on the back from time to time have consequences. There are ways to work around this, of course. You can change jobs.
