The Future of Work in Flux
Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change
Tackling the complexity of the future of work and its impacts on talent (of all kinds), companies, HR departments, different generations, safety nets, and policy makers, April reveals the trends behind the stats, helping stakeholders across industries prepare for the evolving landscape of work.
How will a “hybrid” future of work evolve in a world in constant flux? How can a Flux Mindset help organizational culture? What other changes are on the horizon that we may not fully see yet?
And it’s not just work – how we live is also in flux. The boundaries between work and home, private and public, professional and personal are blurring and uncertain. Education, careers, markets, climate – all in flux.
Breaking down complex shifts and interweaving powerful experiences with hard-hitting facts, April shares how we can maximize the benefits of an evolving-and-uncertain future of work while addressing the many unknowns and challenges. Her ultimate goal — and gift — is to help organizations and individuals boost their “fluxiness” and navigate the future of work with fresh insights, courage, and equanimity

About April Rinne
A graduate of Harvard Law School, April has been weaving a story about how to thrive amid flux for as long as she can remember, drawing on her history as a futurist, advisor, global development executive, microfinance lawyer, investor, mental health advocate, certified yoga teacher, globetrotter, and joyful handstander. April also harnesses her very personal experiences with flux, including the death of both of her parents in a car accident when she was 20. Through her travels and tragedy, vision and values, global perspective and grounded sense of purpose, April helps others better understand how we see, think about, struggle with, and ultimately forge positive relationships with change.
