💡 About the Event
Technology is moving faster than ever — but at the heart of it all, it’s people and skills that make the biggest impact.
The Essential Skills of a Digital Mindset is a fireside-style panel event exploring the real-world competencies needed to navigate and thrive in today’s digital world.
Based on Technology Coaching’s six-part Digital Mindset framework, the session brings together founders, creatives, marketers and digital leaders who live and breathe these skills in their own businesses.
From cybersecurity to content strategy, automation to regenerative marketing, we’ll explore how they apply all six competencies in connected, practical ways.
This isn’t about becoming an expert in everything — it’s about building the confidence, clarity and capability to move forward in a digital-first world.
🎯 What to Expect
