Wellington Hot Tub event

Social Function

Overview

How vulnerable is your career to disruption in the gig economy?
Hear and talk to Silvia Zuur

In this “Hot Tub” Silvia Zuur of the Enspiral Network (www.enspiral.com) will introduce the concept and some of the implications. Ask questions, share ideas and be part of this discussion, which will include:

  • Generic skills required to thrive in a gig economy
  • How to learn totally new skills quickly and often
  • Sharing tips and tricks from current gig workers
  • The types of personalities most likely to succeed in a gig economy
  • The social and cultural issues likely to result from the gig economy.

Disruptive trends are driving “gig” work - a fundamentally different type of career.

Instead of working for an organisation from 9 to 5 with direction and security, people are increasingly driven by disruption to change skills, employers and even careers. Statistics show that 30% of people in the USA work for themselves, and this is expected to double by 2025.

Whether you keep a salary or work for yourself, in this uncertain environment you need to be true to your own sense of direction. The most successful have a clear purpose, the self-awareness to know how they add value in their work and to the world, and the business acumen to see possibilities where others see only risks. They develop relationships and support through the value they add. They know their reputation is a fundamental part of their success.

The Hot Tub is sponsored by Virtual Group Business Consultants. It brings together managers and professionals to explore and debate 21st century directions and ideas in business, in a safe informal environment. The idea is to bring together great people and let magic happen.
