Welcome to "Get Your Happy Back," where Nina Lockwood brings you stories and insights to inspire new sources of happiness in your life. In this episode, Nina sits down with Karena de Souza, a futurist and future of work specialist, who shares her amazing journey and what she has realized about what's ahead for all of us.
Did you ever get blown away by the sheer knowledge someone shares with you? That's how I felt while listening to Karena discuss the dramatic shifts in the work landscape. Karena focuses primarily on Gen Z but also parents of kindergarteners and those of us currently in the work force. She identifies the essential skills that are required to adapt to the rapidly changing world of work. Karena shares her experiences and insights on how parents can guide their children through these transitions, emphasizing the importance of emotional skills and what she refers to as "heirloom skills".
Karena shares her personal history, which I found utterly fascinating, from her early life in Uganda to her career on Wall Street, giving special emphasis on how those experiences shaped her perspective on resilience and opportunity. She offers valuable advice for those navigating change, highlighting the need to anchor oneself in past strengths while embracing the uncertainty of the future.
Join Nina and Karena as they explore the power of community, the importance of adaptability, and the enduring wisdom of past generations in facing life's challenges. Whether you're a parent, a professional, or someone contemplating the next phase of life, this episode offers thoughtful reflections and practical guidance for finding your way in a rapidly changing world.
