WoodGreen Community Services, a large social service agency, offers free employment training programs for job seekers at three locations in Toronto. In 2020, the agency launched a new initiative, Accelerating Possibilities – Creating Pathways to Employment in IT and Insurance. The goal of the year-long, multi-faceted program is to “decrease income volatility and optimize employment for mid-career workers” amid technology and labour market changes.

Your skills are part of what you do, but they do not define who you are. Mark explores why anchoring our identity in deeper capabilities like problem solving, adaptability and systems thinking can help us confidently navigate changing technologies and careers.
As AI takes on more of our everyday thinking and work, how do we continue developing judgment and wisdom? Mark explores the idea of “cognitive gyms,” intentional ways to exercise our thinking, strengthen human capabilities and build experience in the AI era.
Adaptability requires more than learning new skills. Mark explores the continuous cycle of sensing change, realigning our capabilities and putting them into action, while building a future grounded in trust, inclusion, meaningful work and the confidence to embrace new possibilities.
