Feeling stuck in your career? Let’s chat about bouncing back and thriving in the AI-driven future.

AI is rapidly changing how we work, what employers expect and how secure our careers feel. For many professionals, the disruption is already personal: retrenchment, pressure to produce more with fewer resources, uncertainty about which career moves to make, and fears that our skills—or even our roles—may no longer be relevant.

Our instinct may be to push ourselves harder or criticise ourselves for not adapting quickly enough. But this can intensify stress and make it harder to think clearly, recover from setbacks and decide what to do next.

In this interactive workshop, Dr Ben Weinstein will introduce two complementary forms of self-compassion:

• Tender self-compassion, which helps us meet fear, disappointment and loss with kindness and emotional steadiness.

• Fierce self-compassion, which helps us protect our needs, reconnect with our agency and take courageous action.

Through guided reflection and practical exercises, participants will learn how to respond to career uncertainty without minimising the challenges they face—and leave with a more grounded, compassionate way to navigate whatever comes next.
