To celebrate the launch of LinkedIn’s first ever book, Open to Work: How To Get Ahead In The Age of AI, Tim Clancy from LinkedIn is offering Little Grey Cells members a free, hands‑on 60‑minute workshop to help their teams rethink how they work — and stay relevant — in the age of AI.
For most marketers, AI represents a confusing cocktail of limitless possibility and existential dread. Campaigns can be scaled at a click, research completed in a fraction of the time and cost, and ROI not just maximised but measured more consistently. At the same time, many feel burning anxiety about what all this change actually means for them.
Strip away the hype and the doomsday scenarios, and what you’re most likely feeling is a fear of the unknown. You know change is happening, but you’re unsure what its specific consequences will be for you personally. That reaction is entirely natural — in fact, it’s human. As a species, we evolved to resist change. The feeling you’re experiencing today is driven by the same chemical responses that once made our ancestors wary of a sabre‑tooth tiger. The difference is that today’s threat isn’t a big cat sizing you up for dinner, but complex and incomprehensible webs of code.
You are far from the only person feeling this. Billions of professionals around the world are experiencing the same uncertainty, and it was this shared feeling that led LinkedIn’s CEO Ryan Roslansky and Chief Economic Opportunity Offer, Aneesh Raman, to write Open to Work, now available in bookshops. Open to Work is a clear‑eyed, practical guide to taking control of your career in the age of AI. Built on insights from over a billion professionals, it helps you understand what makes you irreplaceably human in a world increasingly shaped by technology.
The book explores how to blend your human strengths — the things AI can’t do — with the latest tools, and how to rethink the way we build, lead, and manage teams for this new era of work.
To celebrate the publication of Open to Work, I’ll be sharing my insights on how AI is changing careers, and what workers can do about it, in these newsletters over the coming months. I’m also offering a free 60‑minute, hands‑on workshop for the team of anyone in the Little Grey Cells network, so you can all learn how to take control of your career in the age of AI.
