Murphy, CEO of Career Gems for the Journey, breaks down how artificial intelligence is reshaping early-career and entry-level roles. After recently investing in her own professional development, Leah returns with research and insights on why AI is eliminating many traditional “first-step” jobs—and what rising professionals can do to stay competitive.Leah explains how up to 30% of entry-level tasks are now automated and encourages listeners to see AI not as a threat but as an opportunity. She shares practical ways early-career professionals can build AI fluency, stack skills, and stand out through adaptability, emotional intelligence, and continuous learning. She also highlights how organizations can evolve internship and rotational programs to ensure new talent still receives mentorship, training, and technical development.Leah closes with a reminder that the future belongs to those who combine human capability with AI competence—and that now is the time to prepare.Make Your Journey Work For You!Stay Connected:🎟️ Secure your spot at the 2nd Annual Career & Care Summit!✨ Buy Your Ticket Today!!💎 Subscribe to the Career Gems for the Journey podcast for more conversations that empower your personal and professional growth.💎 Stay engaged with Career Gems for the Journey by subscribing to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‘CareerGems for YOUR Journey’⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ newsletter and gain access to exclusive content just for you! 💎 Catch Leah LIVE every Tuesday at 12 PM EST on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for fresh insights, real-time discussions, and career-building conversations.💎 Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gemsforthejourney.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for upcoming events, resources, and more leadership gems.
