The list

The community-recommended good stuff. Never sponsored.

Member recs: These super soft bath towels that don’t break the bank, this online service for book or booklet printing, this 14k gold necklace with your family’s initials, this clean ingredient self tanner for a summer tan without the damage, this device that turns your phone into a dumb phone to help you focus, this app that requires you to get your steps in before you access your doomscrolling apps, these gorg markers for self-care coloring (tons of great coloring book options on Etsy!), this small water bottle for on the go hydration, this non-drowsy non-pharma anti-anxiety supplement, this denim shorts that are actually sweatpants (trust me), this tool for visualizing org charts and workflows, this notetaker for all your meetings.

Some resources: this article on how to launch and grow a product, this death doula’s account for coping with and understanding death and these end of life checklists, these free resources for those hosting sites on squarespace, this newsletter of chief of staff, bizops and vc roles, this podcast about the agency world, this OGCsession recording on how to develop a podcast concept and this one on AI 101 and agent building, this article on fiduciary advice from financial planners, this podcast episode on making hard decisions, this 2025 women’s sports calendar, this list of questions to ask each other before you get married, this survey for fractional/consulting rates that shows you the data once you complete it.

A good read: ‘100 Jobs of the Future’ from Ford Australia, Deakin University and Griffith University

Regarding skills, the experts had much to say. Transdisciplinarity was a major theme, referring to the need for a strong disciplinary base but combined with breadth of knowledge of other areas, with technology skills, and with creativity. Another theme was the importance of human skills, increasingly relevant in a world where machines do the routine work, and relevant also for cross-disciplinary team work. A third theme was the need for flexibility and adaptability in the face of change, and the importance of the capacity to continue to learn, and be strategic about learning, over a lifetime.

The sample of 100 jobs of the future portrays a world of work that continues to offer a breadth of career opportunities across all sectors. Whilst we set out to identify new jobs and explore the impact of the major drivers of change on the future workplace, our research kept reminding us that the world of work has always been evolving and technology has already disrupted many domains. At the same time, some jobs will change very little, for example those that involve skilled manual work that machines cannot duplicate or jobs that make economic sense to continue as they are.
