The Future Of Work Will Not Be Scripted
Kelly Leonard is the Vice President of Creative Strategy, Innovation and Business Development at The Second City. There is only one thing we can be certain of in the future, and that's the fact that we don't know what's going to happen. We can surmise probabilities and make educated guesses, but the future is unscripted. Given my life's work in the field of improvisation, it makes sense that I would want to find the connective tissue between a skill in ongoing, improvised co-creation and what experts highlight as the most important qualities for navigating the unknown at work and in life. As Deborah Perry Piscione and Josh Drean forewarn us in their 2023 article in the Harvard Business Review, 'Buckle up, because the world of work is on the verge of seismic transformation. The 20th-century norms that still govern our professional lives are about to be shaken to their core. Those who harness these forces will unlock new realms of productivity and creativity, while those who resist will risk becoming relics of a bygone era.' There might be no way to fully future-proof yourself and your organization, but you can double down on the skills needed to become more change-ready. Here are three specific skill sets and exercises that can help you harness the ability to be more agile in the face of what's next. When speaking to groups, I often ask for a show of hands if they think the world would change for the better if we improved our listening by just two percent. All of those hands go right up. Although it's something we do every day, very few of us practice listening. That's not true of improvisers. When we are creating a scene out of nothing, all we have at our disposal is the information others are giving us. It becomes vital, then, to listen not only to the end of sentences but to what might lie underneath what's being said. But isn't what's true for our stage performers just as true for ourselves? The improv exercise 'Last Word' is a terrific way to practice deep listening. In a conversation, require yourself to start your sentence with the last word the other person said. You will find yourself more fully present, considerate and engaged with the person across from you. The ability to successfully work in groups is essential in times of uncertainty. As futurist Gary Bolles writes in his 'The Next Rules of Work' book, 'A team is a band of problem solvers.' Harnessing a diversity of strengths, skills and knowledge lies at the heart of effective change management. We have a phrase in our work: 'All of us are better than one of us.' The improv principle of 'Yes, And' is the starting point for successful collaboration within a team. When your group is brainstorming something new, it's vital that you say, 'Yes, And' to every idea at the beginning. There will be plenty of time to weed out the bad ideas from the good ideas later. 'Yes, And' creates a space in which all ideas are vetted and played with, ensuring that early-stage novelty is protected. The modern workplace is drowning in communication: emails, texts, phone calls, Zoom calls, chats and DMs. The ability to create sticky messages in such a noisy environment is wholly dependent on one's skills in storytelling. 'As social creatures who regularly affiliate with strangers, stories are an effective way to transmit important information and values from one individual or community to the next. Stories that are personal and emotionally compelling engage more of the brain, and thus are better remembered than simply stating a set of facts,' writes neuroscientist Paul Zak. Here's a storytelling practice you can try on. Pick an accomplishment of yours and tell it to someone in 60 seconds. Have the listener repeat that accomplishment back to you in 30 seconds; now, offer that accomplishment in 10 seconds. What information were you left with in the final round? The skill to scale up or scale down our communication is incredibly useful if we are to meet the moment we're presently in. In an unscripted future, our best strategy is to lean into our most human-centered skills: generous listening, collaborative teaming and communication grounded in rich storytelling. But these skills don't just show up. It's essential that we find ways to practice them in order to co-create the scripts we want to see in the world. Forbes Business Development Council is an invitation-only community for sales and biz dev executives. Do I qualify?

How To Future-Proof Your Career At Age 45 And Stay Competitive
Mid-career professionals are embracing upskilling and digital tools to stay relevant in today's ... More digital workforce. Your forties arrive faster than expected. One moment, you're the rising voice in the room; the next, you're planning for retirement while navigating a workplace that increasingly amplifies the perspectives of recent graduates. If you're 45 and questioning how to keep up in a job market that seems to shift by the minute, you're not the only one. What worked in your 30s may now feel outdated. On the positive side, your career isn't winding down; it's evolving. The employment rate for the 45-54 age group is consistently high, reflecting a large and stable segment of the workforce, according to Statista. However, unemployed individuals 45 and older face ageism. You must be intentional about staying visible and maintaining their value. Staying relevant requires an ongoing strategy that evolves with your industry, not against it. By age 45, many professionals face growing pressure to adapt to digital transformation and generational shifts in the workplace. According to the Harvard Business Review, age-diverse teams lead to stronger innovation and performance. But experience alone won't keep you competitive. Platforms like Coursera, LinkedIn Learning and edX offer short, accessible certifications specifically designed for mid-career professionals. A career pivot doesn't require starting from scratch; it requires a strategic rebrand. Update your LinkedIn profile with a clear headline that aligns with your future goals, not just past roles. Share posts or insights that position you as a thought leader. Use AI tools like Resume Worded or Teal HQ to audit your LinkedIn for keyword strength and tone. Staying competitive at 45 means combining experience with adaptability, balancing what you've ... More mastered with a willingness to grow. Instead of just aiming higher on the corporate ladder, seek roles that flex your expertise while helping you grow. These include: If you've considered launching a business, your mid-40s are the best time to do it. MIT Sloan found that entrepreneurs aged 40-60 statistically build more sustainable companies than younger founders. Offer mentorship while remaining open to new approaches. Reverse mentoring is a powerful way to stay agile and informed across generations. Future-proofing your career is a continuous process. The mindset shift involves replacing 'I've done this before' with 'What can I learn next?' Chasing every trend is exhausting; you'll burn yourself out. Staying aligned with what the future of work in your sector demands focus. Stay adaptable, not anchored. The job market may be changing, but your ability to adapt gives you a distinct edge. Make your move before it passes you by; step into it with intention. The professionals who thrive at 45 and beyond are boldly building what's next.

Historic $40 Million Gift to CU Anschutz Dept. of Ophthalmology will Fuel Research and New Therapies
The anonymous gift to Colorado's only academic eye center will boost research into treating and curing the most serious eye diseases while investing in new technology and recruiting top talent AURORA, Colo., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus announced today that its Department of Ophthalmology received a historic $40 million gift to treat and potentially cure eye diseases like macular degeneration and glaucoma, increase focus on basic science and harness artificial intelligence to revolutionize vision care in the years ahead. "This transformational gift was made possible by one of our longstanding philanthropic partners, whose family holds a deep passion for improving health and healthcare in Colorado and beyond," said CU Anschutz Chancellor Donald M. Elliman. "Their generous investment has established the Department of Ophthalmology Research Endowment, which will provide resources to speed innovation and research with the potential to save and restore sight." Part of the gift is available for immediate use, including funding for critical basic science research in vision preservation and restoration, while the rest will provide ongoing support well into the future. The donor, a patient at the Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center, has chosen to remain anonymous, yet their gift will accelerate the ophthalmology program that is already an innovative, national leader in the quest to treat and cure eye disease. "We have a tremendous opportunity to fuel our research enterprise which is fundamental to clinical care," said Naresh Mandava, MD, chair of the CU Department of Ophthalmology and the Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Endowed Chair in Retinal Diseases. "This gift will allow us to translate technology from the lab to the patient faster than before." The timing couldn't be better. Some 10,000 Americans turn 65 each day and that comes with an increase in diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. "We have the chance to change the fate of those with these diseases with funding like this," Mandava said. The Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center is the sole academic eye center in Colorado and serves about 115,000 patients a year. It has already launched a range of initiatives aimed at eradicating persistent eye diseases. They include: The CellSight program involves teams of investigators from across disciplines working to develop novel stem cell-based therapies to save and restore eyesight in blinding diseases. The University of Colorado Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) registry allows researchers to investigate AMD, which is projected to affect almost 300 million people worldwide by 2040. Nearly 2,000 patients from the Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center are enrolled. Artificial intelligence is being used to build algorithms to help diagnose macular degeneration and glaucoma and screen for blinding diseases in infants. "We are taking big datasets and seeing if we can identify the mechanisms that cause disease," Mandava said. "We can also identify which patients will benefit from new drug therapies. So that opens the door for pharmaceutical companies to study their drugs on new patient populations earlier in the course of disease." The CU Anschutz Department of Ophthalmology is a national leader in innovation. It has won 60 patents since 2020. At least 13 technologies have been invented here and licensed to industry like the world renowned Kahook Dual Blade, designed for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. It was invented by Malik Kahook, MD, Slater Family Endowed Chair in Ophthalmology and professor at the CU School of Medicine. These innovations have spurred millions in investments, with several companies spun out of the department. "The donor and their family have been longtime patients of the Eye Center. This generous gift reflects their deep appreciation for the exceptional care they've received and their desire for others to benefit from the same high-quality eye care at CU for generations to come," said John H. Sampson, MD, PhD, MBA, Dean of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Mandava said he and his colleagues are honored that someone had enough confidence in the eye center to bestow such a large gift. It confirms just how precious sight is to people and the importance of vision science research programs. "There is a tremendous responsibility that comes with this," he said. "We have to deliver on every level to meet the full potential of this gift. And more importantly, we have to honor the intent of this investment which is to bring sight to patients." About the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical CampusThe University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is a world-class medical destination at the forefront of transformative science, medicine, education and patient care. The campus encompasses the University of Colorado health professional schools, more than 60 centers and institutes and two nationally ranked independent hospitals - UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado – which see more than two million adult and pediatric patient visits yearly.
