​The Future of Work Is Human - A Lunch and Learn on Career Reinvention in the Age of AI

​Hosted by IngramSpark to celebrate the publication of Pivot-Quest: Find Your Way Forward When the Career You Built No Longer Fits, by Luis R. Baptista and Juliana N. Pereira (out August 25).

​The headlines say AI is coming for junior workers first. The data also shows another relevant finding: in management and leadership roles, more than 1 in 5 departures in 2025 were at the VP or C-suite level, versus under 1 in 30 in engineering (Data Partner and Workforce Analysis: Alex Hamilton. Dataset powered by Live Data Technologies, livedatatechnologies.com). The experienced people are leaving in the largest numbers, and almost no one is writing for them.

​So the question that matters more than ever: what can you do to thrive in the era of AI?

​Join Pivot-Quest co-authors Luis R. Baptista and Juliana N. Pereira, alongside leaders in coaching, media, and workforce development, for an honest conversation about staying adaptable without losing sight of who you are. The book is built on a 95-million-profile data analysis, 100+ real reinvention stories, and 30+ named experts, plus the authors' own experience: each has pivoted seven times across three continents.

​Together we will explore:

• ​How AI is reshaping careers and how to remain adaptable without losing sight of who you are.

• ​Why your story may become one of your greatest career assets in a rapidly changing world.

• ​Why should organizations and communities create more opportunities for people to explore career transitions.

​Because the future of work is not just a technology story. For the people living through it, it is a human one.
