The future is a skill, not a destination | Dr. Nishtha Tyagi Pachouri | TEDxCareer College
Dr. Nishtha Tyagi Pachouri emphasizes that the traditional education system is outdated as it prepares students for a world that no longer exists. Instead of focusing solely on mastering answers, the future belongs to those who can ask better questions, collaborate, and synthesize knowledge. Dr. Tyagi encourages individuals to embrace experimentation, cultivate adaptability, and foster resilience as core life practices. She introduces the L.E.A.P. Model, a framework to develop future-ready skills. The model stands for Learn how to learn, emphasizing lifelong learning and metacognition; Emotional navigation, highlighting the importance of emotional intelligence and empathy; Adapt to ambiguity, which involves building resilience in uncertain situations; and Prompt the future, focusing on creative problem-solving and innovation. She also discusses the role of AI, stating that AI should not replace human capabilities but should amplify human courage and potential, allowing for broader impact and innovation. Dr. Tyagi closes by challenging us to reflect on whether we are building a future we can merely survive or one we can truly love, urging everyone to actively shape the future instead of passively waiting for it. Dr. Nishtha Tyagi Pachouri is a product Marketing manager at Jio, an AI marketer, and a thought leader. She is also a two-time TEDx speaker, an author, and a podcaster.
