149: Becoming the Knowledge Worker with Jerel Bonner

With all the uncertainty around what the future of work will look like there is one thing that is certain: in order to thrive you will need the necessary skills and mindset to continually adapt and change. Futurist Jerel Bonner embodies this type of agile learning mindset as he is a walking, talking model of the new knowledge worker. He’s also a TEDx speaker, author of Sharpening China's Talent,  and co-founder of Coralling Chaos, a consulting firm focused on lowering the cost of the workplace through learning agility. In this episode of the Leading Learning podcast, Jeff talks with Jerel about his personal experience as an agile learner and knowledge worker and what it takes to become one.
