As professionals start to return to the office, after a prolonged period of working from home, there is a new curiosity about the meaning we ascribe to our work and how this fits into our revised frame of the world. Some interesting patterns are emerging and we consider what they mean for sustained personal growth.

Through the many psychological challenges of 2020/21, people are wrestling with high contextual uncertainty and eagerly await a time where the world stabilises, and we are able to plan for a better future. What if those stable days are gone and this is merely a conditioning for an agile and flexible approach to work and our lives?

Talking to people about their experiences of the pandemic and working from home has yielded interesting data and polarities. Businesses that will employ remote workers and have offices with workers present daily, represent a hybrid workforce. The vital data will shape hybrid working models, as people reimagine physical ‘offices.’.

Starting 2021 with a positive frame has been a tall order, given the ongoing uncertainty which we continue to navigate. Locating incongruence in our working lives, becomes critical to make better career decisions this year to set us on a more aligned career trajectory.

We live in a world where organisations are increasingly globalised. Thanks to the internet, professional connections can be made, meetings held and information shared between multiple nations on opposite sides of the world in a matter of seconds.

When January comes around, new plans are in place and everyone feels reinvigorated and optimistic for the year to come.

In the complex and heavily digitised world we live in, how we do business has changed considerably over the past few years – and so too has the development and evolution of career ladders. Indeed, the concept of the ‘ladder’ is now outdated, and the way we learn and enrich our skill sets throughout our professional journey are now more of a determiner of success.

What does it mean to develop professionally in 2019? This question brings to mind an article published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) a few years back, listing all the skills required to succeed by 2020 during the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, which is considered to be occurring right now.
