Power Skills in the Age of AI

A conference designed to understand how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of work and which human skills will be decisive to stand out in this new scenario.

The session will address four essential elements:

  1. Power Skills

Human skills that will not be replaced by artificial intelligence, such as persuasion, leadership, communication, influence, critical thinking, and the ability to connect with others.

  1. Artificial Intelligence

Understanding the impacts of AI, its opportunities, its challenges, and how to navigate a world increasingly dominated by intelligent technologies.

  1. Continuous Learning Mindset

The ability to adapt, learn constantly, and reinvent oneself professionally in response to new tools, work models, and ways of generating value.

  1. Personal Branding

The importance of communicating one’s own value, building professional positioning, and becoming a reference in an increasingly competitive environment.

These four pillars are part of the bestselling conference “Power Skills in the Age of AI,” focused on the present and future of work, the trends redefining careers, and the skills needed to lead tomorrow.
