With so many shifting rules and cultural norms, career success can feel like mastering a complex game.

Jessica Lindl, Vice President of Ecosystem Growth at Unity Technologies and a Haas MBA alum, shows how a gaming mindset can be an advantage in today’s workplace.

Her new book, The Career Game Loop: Learn to Earn in the New Economy, launches April 29.  

Jessica joins hosts Jenny Chatman and Sameer Srivastava in the season 3 finale of The Culture Kit to discuss the gamer mindset, strategies for job crafting, and how leaders can build game-inspired workplace cultures. 

3 main takeaways from Jenny & Sameer’s interview with Jessica Lindl:

1. Embrace chaos and uncertainty: Learn how to find opportunity in  moments of change.
2. Build durable skills: As AI integrates into the workforce, it’s more important than ever to have durable skills such as problem-solving and collaboration that make you a fundamental asset to your organization.
3. Look for opportunities to job craft and continually evolve your role: This can spur innovation at the company as well as new opportunities in your career.Show Links:
