Creating Your Agile Mindset

from The Future of Work · host UC Berkeley Extension

In this episode, we're exploring how to approach your career and job search with an Agile mindset, borrowing from both modern product development thinking and from an unexpected source of inspiration: the Japanese concept of Ikigai, a philosophy around your "reason for being" and what brings you purpose, joy and fulfillment. We talk about how small experiments can lead to big clarity, why progress beats perfection and how staying flexible helps you respond to change without losing your sense of self. To discuss this topic, we're delighted to welcome Pepe Valiente, who is a UC Berkeley Extension instructor, and global product and innovation leader with more than 25 years of experience driving complex initiatives across aerospace, the electric sector, consulting, retail and software.
