Episode notes

This week, I’m joined by Cara Brennan Allamano, cofounder of PeopleTech Partners and experienced people leader at startups and high-growth companies. Cara has been instrumental in scaling people functions at Pinterest, Udemy, and, most recently, Lattice.


In this episode, we explore the biggest challenges and opportunities in the world of work, how AI is reshaping jobs, and Cara's advice for people leaders and executives looking to thrive.


TALKING POINTS:


  • The historic shift in work: from agrarian and industrial to decentralised and AI-driven.
  • Why curiosity is a critical mindset for navigating the future of work.
  • The rising value of hands-on, practical skills alongside tech-driven roles.
  • How the “multi-stage life” concept is reshaping career paths and personal growth.
  • Personalisation of work experiences through AI—making employee engagement more meaningful and tailored.
