Based on the eight careers Christopher Bishop has navigated over the past 50 years, he developed this workshop to help today’s learners be successful in the new workplace paradigm.
Since graduating from college with a degree in German literature, Chris has worked as a touring rock musician, a jingle composer, a Web producer at several interactive agencies in New York and spent 15 years at IBM’s corporate headquarters…to name just a few.
Chris has delivered his workshop “How to Succeed at Jobs That Don’t Exist Yet” in various university settings including Stern School of Business at NYU, Baruch, Columbia, Duke, Georgetown, Queens College, Texas A&M and Union College. He also created a live-action course for LinkedIn Learning called “Future proofing your data science career” which includes guidance on using his Future Career Toolkit.
Chris was awarded a Practitioner Residency by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2011 and spent a month at their Bellagio Center on Lake Como in northern Italy developing workshop materials. In April 2013, he gave a TEDx TimesSquare talk on “Openness” at the Times Center in New York.
In addition, Chris is currently the Master of Ceremonies for various events produced by The Economist focused on quantum and business innovation in London and Silicon Valley. He also is the host of the Quantum Tech Pod series where he has interviewed over 50 C-suite executives at leading quantum companies.
