TODAY’S EVOLVING ROLES AND EXPECTATIONS

Image
The need to evolve in today’s skill-based world is a continuous process; as such people must slip into as many roles as possible and take advantage of the hands-on support and open-source platforms that are placing a premium on new responsibilities. Until recently, my writing has been tied mostly to business ideation, narratives, and commentaries. Now, however, that role has expanded into a more technical field dealing with scripting, sequencing, and content formatting for video and virtual projects. As the Team lead for developing the  Tech-Bridges Associates’  SeeDoo TV Travel Guide; a mini-docu series and a virtual based project, I had the opportunity to latch on to technical writing and build relevant competency in the field.

It is only in continually exploring alternative strategies that will allow us...or anyone, the opportunity to build contingencies. As people, we have options. Most often, these options determine a particular choice for doing anything. There are those of us who have not realized that a lot can change with access to a wide range of information about why and how. We fail to grasp that expectations come with all sorts of strings. And this is the very nature of life in itself; hence, we must align our efforts with the things we need to achieve. 2019 for some turned out exactly how they hoped. For others, it marked the beginning or turning
