Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the FIRe Up Tomorrow: Preparing the Filipino Worker for the Fourth Industrial Revolution conference. It was hosted by the Asian Institute of Management and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. The venue, The Makati Diamond Residences, was a beautiful location with delicious food and warm interiors.
I learned that freelancing is a vulnerable position in the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR), but it also allows me to innovate at a rapid pace as I can train myself to adapt. By upskilling and focusing on critical thinking, I can easily ride the wave of the FIR and still be relevant in these changing times.
Here’s to more learning opportunities to come!
