Are we building a future for all or just for the privileged few?
The now-viral Core Skills for 2030 chart from the World Economic Forum finally centers on skills like empathy, curiosity, and self-awareness.
That’s progress. That’s the hope.
But without reflecting on who gets left behind in this blue print of the future, and how we can ensure they don't, we are at risk of widening the power and equity gap.
Our CEO, Afsheen Ismail-Wey, unpacks this tension in our latest episode of the Future Ready Leader Podcast. This is a call to every leader who wants to shape the future in an inclusive and equitable way.
Because building a human-centered future isn’t about identifying the skills of the future. It’s about ensuring access to them.
🎧 Tune in now to hear: – Why this chart stirred both inspiration and discomfort – The silent ways privilege gets embedded into “future-ready” narratives – What can we do to ensure no one gets left behind
