THE FUNDAMENTALS
OF RE-SKILLING
ALEX COSTOPOULOS:
OWNER, FORESIGHT STRATEGY &

We have to find a way to work together. To
collectively synthesize and regenerate the
discussion. I agree we have to think from the
beginning about all the things that we think
we know. We are talking about re-skilling,
and yet we, although it sounds tremendously
arrogant and please don't take it that way;
acting as leaders in certain fields, we need to
be re-skilled and rethink how we are working
together.
I think the media is doing a large job, but the media is us. The narrative that we
create, it's what goes to the media. The media asks us about things, and I think most
of the time. We stick to buzzwords. We stick to what's easy. We stick to what won't
create problems with our friends, whether in politics or business or what will keep us
safe. But it's a period, in my opinion, that is not about keeping us safe but about
making sure that it will be safer for our kids to pursue their dreams; to find what they
love. I'm sure if we ask a hundred students whether they think their CV is more
important than falling in love, they will tell you the CV, but it's that idea of being able
to fall in love, to live your life, to find what you wanna spend your life doing every day.
I think it's those fundamentals that we need to go back to; to work together. This is
how the media or the broader communications industry will portray our stories, and
maybe we can change something
