As AI reshapes industries worldwide, younger workers are unlocking new superpowers in the workplace – but what skills truly give them an edge? 🤖✨ We spoke to Lauren Chung, CEO of Teneo Asia Pacific, and Jessica Zhang, Senior VP at ADP Asia Pacific, to decode the modern career playbook.
Adapt or Get Left Behind
Chung emphasizes adaptability as the ultimate currency: \"Young professionals who treat learning as a lifestyle, not a checklist, will thrive. AI evolves daily – so must we.\" Think TikTok trends, but for career growth 🚀
Tech-Savvy ≠ Code Monkey
Zhang reveals a surprise: \"Understanding AI ethics matters more than coding skills for most roles. Can you ask the right questions when ChatGPT writes your report? That’s critical thinking in action.\"
The Human Touch Wins
Both experts agree emotional intelligence (EQ) is the secret sauce 🌶️. \"AI can’t replicate curiosity or cultural awareness,\" notes Chung. From virtual meetings to cross-border collabs, soft skills build bridges bots can’t.
Pro tip: Blend digital fluency with old-school networking – your next career break might come from a Discord community or LinkedIn DM!
