Linda Nazareth

In this provocative keynote based on her upcoming book of the same title, Linda Nazareth examines a profound shift in the labour market: the decline of traditional entry-level roles.

Drawing on her expertise in economics, demographics, and the future of work she outlines the ways that a challenging economy and a focus on the short term are causing organizations to embrace generative AI in ways that will ultimately not serve them, or the broader economy, well.

Aimed at corporate and public sector leaders engaged in workforce and strategic planning, this presentation offers a clear framework for rethinking talent pathways in an AI-driven economy. It highlights the risks of relying on outdated workforce models while providing practical strategies to redesign pathways into work, invest in skills development, and build more resilient, future-ready organizations

In this thought-provoking session, economist Linda Nazareth explores the challenges facing Canadian Business as the trade landscape changes amidst geopolitical turmoil.

And against the background of a a new Artificial Intelligence industrial revolution, climate issues and dramatically different population trends.   There are short term considerations around interest rates, energy prices and  the business cycle to understand but it is also a time to look at the longer term picture.

The new era ahead offers a real opportunity to boost productivity and growth, Linda shares how  taking advantage of what’s ahead means understanding the shifts and making plans around
them now.

We are in a world in flux with megatrends reshaping our economy.

The leaders that meet the challenges head on will need to have a set of skills that can be called ‘The
Super Seven’ a set of characteristics that include resilience, creativity, empathy, motivation and self-awareness, curiosity, service orientation and teaching and mentoring. These may be thought of as soft skills, but in fact are power skills and the leaders that use them will be the ones that can best navigate the future.

In this compelling presentation, economist and futurist Linda Nazareth sketches out the challenges for leaders and then talks about why the Super Seven will serve them as they help their teams deal with disruption.

Using stories and examples, she combines content with entertainment making the case for why the the organizations and leaders that tap into the Super Seven will have an edge in a world where every advantage matters.

From globalization to urbanization to dealing with demographic change, the world we know is morphing into a different planet with different economic opportunities and challenges.

What are the trends taking today into tomorrow, and what are the trends that are resulting from the shift? In ‘Economorphics’ , Linda Nazareth talks about the dozens of things she sees happening, and the challenges – and opportunities they present to the economy, the labour market and the financial markets – and to your industry as well.

Geopolitics, trade issues, commodity \ prices, interest rates, population change, currency markets, the markets and more – what is the big picture and how do you make the right decisions to stay ahead of the curve?

How does Canada fit into the mix – and how do you plan for your own industry and investments?

In this compelling presentation, Linda Nazareth looks at the economic outlook, the opportunities in the face of challenges, and the way that the larger picture will affect your own business interests.

It is a watershed moment, a time when everything is on the table and we can choose our own destiny. In the wake of a pandemic that showed us that work can be done a lot more places than in an office, individuals and organizations are making decisions that will shape the future of work for decades to come.

It is not just about where we work, however. On a planet that is experiencing a climate emergency with an aging population and robots that are getting smarter by the minute, everything is in flux. Everything needs to be reimagined to accommodate the changes, and that includes work.

This presentation is based on her book of the same title where Linda Nazareth uses her extensive experience as an economist analyzing the labour market to explore the issues that are  transforming the way in which we work in a post-pandemic world.

With the goal of helping her audience stay ahead of these changes, Linda offers practical strategies to help individuals and organizations adapt to the rapidly evolving changes to office environments, workers’ values, and the future of work.
