In the 21st century, there are discussions over what are the necessary skills for the future. To be future-ready, we need to think holistically and deeply in terms of what determines the future and ways in mastering the future soft and hard skills. As pioneering Psychologist Carol Dweck suggested, a “growth mindset” is essential for learning and self-improvement. Therefore, personal mastery and acceleration help equipping us for the fast-changing world that requires different skills. Co-Founder of Brandstorm Communication - Marina Watt’s latest book, Six Future Skills You Should Learn Now, provides insights into the 6 skills we need to master for the future. Join us for an insightful dialogue between Marina and Miranda Wong, Director of The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Leadership Institute, for learning more about future skills and gearing up for the future!
