Part 1: Beyond Resilience – Roshini’s Take-Aways from Dan Pink’s Keynote ATD24
The Association for Talent Development convention in New Orleans kicked off with an exhilarating morning on May 21, featuring keynote speaker Dan Pink. S
he have been a fan of Dan Pink’s for some time now. More so from a “speakers “point-of-view. As in when she grow up – she want to be a speaker with the same level of engagement he has with his audience – every time! With 8,000 learning professionals gathered, she knew they were in for a treat. And she was not disappointed.
Dan kicked off his talk with a powerful reminder of how quickly time flies by. “We’re already on day 142 of 2024 – almost 40% through the year!” He laid out the current landscape, reflecting on where we stand in the economy, the workplace, and the broader changes shaping our world.
Economic Rollercoaster: The stock market is hitting record highs, yet consumer confidence is at its lowest since 2022.
Unemployment remains low, but recent figures show fewer job gains. Workplace Transformation:
The four-day work week is gaining traction, boosted by AI advancements. Forced returns to the office are driving top talent away.
Emerging Trends: “Quiet quitting” has evolved into new phenomena like “rage applying” and “resenteeism.” – yup! Made me laugh too.
The next big thing? “Bare minimum Monday” and employees managing clandestine second jobs. Yes – louder still!
Dan’s insights painted a picture of a world that’s tumultuous, messy, and often self-contradictory. But amidst this chaos, he introduced a compelling concept: THE GREAT SORTING.
They were at a pivotal moment where fundamental questions about work, collaboration, AI, and the purpose of offices and companies are being reevaluated. Instead of seeking definitive answers before taking action, Dan suggested a paradigm shift: ACT TO UNDERSTAND VS. understand to act.
Stay tuned for Roshini’s post, where she’ll share Dan Pink’s 5 practical ways to navigate this unpredictable landscape and strengthen your organizational culture. #Leadership#TalentDevelopment#WorkplaceTrends#DanPink#ATD2024 #LearningAndDevelopment #TheGreatSorting #ActToUnderstand#FutureOfWork
