Anne Hubbard on Human Skills, Neurodiversity, and the Future of Education

from Global Skills Podcast · host Vanessa Wainwright

In this episode of the Global Skills Podcast, I sit down with Anne Hubbard to explore what education, skills, and employability really look like in a world shaped by AI, neurodiversity, and rapidly changing career pathways. Anne shares her unconventional journey from investment banking and trading into education, highlighting how transferable human skills like communication, adaptability, and emotional intelligence have shaped every stage of her career. Together, we unpack the growing disconnect between traditional education systems and industry needs, the rising importance of human-centric skills, and why young people—and adults at every stage—should see themselves as evolving “brands.” Anne offers grounded insights on supporting neurodiverse learners, rethinking assessment, embracing AI as a tool rather than a threat, and encouraging lifelong learning, resilience, and instinct-led decision making in uncertain times.
