The Future of Work Through the Decades

The world of work has changed before.

Economic downturns.
Technology shifts.
Hiring booms and hiring freezes.
New generations entering the workforce.

And now, AI has many professionals wondering where they fit—and what comes next.

Career Transition Coach Pam Heward has spent decades helping people navigate these moments. Her approach has never been one-size-fits-all. She believes every person has unique strengths worth showcasing. She helps people discover possibilities they hadn't seen before, and knows the right words can transform how someone sees themselves—and how the world sees them. 

While Pam has helped many find their next best role, she also recognizes that sometimes, it is about self transformation and improving your current situation.

In this 90-minute PopUpThinkTank, we'll begin with a short interview-style conversation where Pam shares stories and lessons from helping countless people reposition themselves over the decades, rediscover confidence, and build meaningful careers through periods of uncertainty.

We'll also explore how Pam is thinking about the evolution of the workforce as AI reshapes the world of work and integrates with the human need for purpose, connection, and confidence.

Then the conversation expands.

Together, we'll explore questions like:

• What skills and mindsets endure, even as technology transforms the workplace?

• How might careers evolve in an AI-enabled world without losing its humanity?

• What questions help people move from feeling stuck to seeing new possibilities?

• And what do people need most when the future feels uncertain?

This session is designed for job seekers, professionals wanting to advance where they are right now, career changers, people leaders, coaches, recruiters, and anyone wondering how to build a meaningful career in a rapidly changing world.

This isn't a webinar, panel, demo, or sales pitch.

It is a facilitated PopUpThinkTank where 25+ participants come together around one shared challenge. You'll spend most of your time in small-group conversations, so there's no pressure to speak in front of everyone.

You'll leave with fresh perspective, meaningful connections, and practical ideas you can apply to your own career journey. Just as important; your questions, experiences, and perspectives will help Pam explore how career coaching can evolve for a world shaped by AI.

Together, we'll co-create new ideas about supporting people through career transitions—building on Pam's decades of experience with the collective wisdom of the room to create insights that none of us would arrive at alone.
