10 Top In Demand Skills You Need to Stay Relevant in 2025

Hey friends 👋,

We’re back, putting all that holiday reflection and reading to good use.

Today, we’re diving in to the 10 most important skills you can develop by 2025.

Let’s go.

“Change before you have to.” — Jack Welch

First up, you may have noticed a new header name for the newsletter.

Things continue to evolve as I learn more about who connects with my content and what I enjoy writing about.

In case you’ve forgotten, the mission is to help 1,000,000 founders and leaders learn creative skills to make more impact.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting about my journey over the last 4 years. Going from business owner, to MBA student, to world traveler. And, now building again.

One thing that stands out to me is that today’s rapid pace of change is only going to continue.

All of this doom and gloom reminded me of a paper that I wrote during Business Economics on the MBA with my friend Allen Tom.

It was called: Will Machines Replace Humans in the Workforce?

What we discovered was:

Our conclusions were:

Our prediction was: humans will have a future with plentiful employment regardless of the advancement of robotisation due to our ability to adapt to any new situation and position ourselves for self-benefit.

Four full years have past since then and it has truly been impressive to see the advances in technology.

That said, it is far from being able to provide the nuance, wisdom and experiences that humans can.

Time will tell.

If one thing is clear, doing nothing means you’re going backwards.

And, given that as much as ‘50% of employees will require reskilling by 2025’, the time to act is now.

The good news, there is a lot that we can do to remain highly sought after and build competitive businesses.

The top 10 skills required for 2025 are:

The surprising benefits of taking a leap of faith.

Which brings me to taking action to strengthen your armour.

In 1943, Abraham Wald looked at all the damage incurred on planes that returned from battle.

The army was going to add armour onto all the areas that had a mass of bullet holes.

However, Wald saw things differently. He knew that the problem wasn’t where the bullets were hitting on the planes that returned.

It, was likely that the planes which got shot down were hit in the areas that the returned planes weren’t.

So, to help more planes survive and increase the luck of the troops they re-inforced the areas without the bullet holes.

You might find these 2 steps useful:

1) Explore your interests and find your purpose. You’ll find me talking about this frequently.

Many people (including myself) chase money at all costs. Money is important, but if that’s the only focus you’re on the fast track to burnout.

However, if you’re wanting to play the long game and enjoy what you’re doing, while building a future, then I highly recommend going through the Ikigai process.

It is while on my journey that I learned about the Japenese concept of Ikigai — ‘life’s worth’.

2) Take action. Doing is thinking, and the more you do the more you gain clarity about what is working and what’s not.

Focus on moving towards your goals, growing skills and knowledge about what you like and what is needed.

Whether that’s books, youtube, university or online courses.

Your way forward will emerge.

“Change almost never fails because it’s too early. It almost always fails because it’s too late.” — Seth Godin

That’s all for today friends!

Thanks for reading and I’ll catch you next week.
