Sheryl Sandberg\u2019s <\/span>article in the New York Times\u2019 Sunday Review<\/span><\/a><\/span> (on April 24th<\/sup> 2017) is an important piece for all parents trying to build resilient kids in a rapidly changing, disruptive world.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Sheryl\u2019s article was written from the perspective of tragedy and loss after her husband Dave Sandberg, died suddenly from a cardiac arrhythmia two years ago, while they were on vacation in Mexico.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Most of us as parents are preoccupied with raising kids that are independent, self-motivated are self-starters that can persevere and bounce back from adversity. These are also key critical leadership competencies that all kids will need to have in order to succeed in a fast-paced world where innovation and disruption can wipe out jobs or make some industries obsolete in a matter of months.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
These attributes are not only needed in order to bounce back after life-altering tragedy like the death of a parent or spouse, but also to overcome the minor losses in life like job loss and disappointment from failure.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>According to data from the World Economic Forum, it is estimated that\u00a0<\/span><\/span>some 65% of children entering primary schools today will likely work in roles that don\u2019t currently exist<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It is also expected that the pace of change in the job market will start to accelerate by 2020. Office and administrative functions, along with manufacturing and production roles,\u00a0<\/span>will see dramatic declines accounting for over six million roles over the next four years. Conversely, business and financial operations along with computer and mathematical functions will see steep rises. \u00a0New technologies will cause steep job losses in some sectors and industries. Building a resilient labour force will therefore be critical with such rapid technological change.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
