In this episode of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Angela Finlay, Chief Human Capital Strategist, former CHRO, educator, and author of Skill Stacking: Taking Ownership of Your Career in Changing Times.

As organizations embrace AI and the pace of change accelerates, careers are becoming less linear and more dynamic. Angela shares why relying on a single expertise is no longer enough and how intentionally combining complementary skills can create new opportunities, increase resilience, and help professionals stay relevant throughout their careers.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why traditional ideas of job security are rapidly changing
• What skill stacking is and how it creates a unique competitive advantage
• Why career pivots don’t have to mean starting from scratch
• The leadership mindset required to thrive in uncertainty
• How AI is reshaping hiring, talent development, and the future of work
• Why curiosity, continuous learning, and adaptability are becoming essential leadership capabilities
• Practical advice for professionals who want to future-proof their careers and take ownership of their growth

Tune in for an insightful conversation on career resilience, leadership development, and building the skills that will matter most in the years ahead.
