Top High-value Skills for 2026

The world of work is shifting faster than titles, roles, or even job descriptions can keep up. In 2026, what defines your career won’t be your position, it’ll be your skills.

Join WORK-SELF for a live, interactive session exploring the Top High-Value Skills for 2026, the tangible abilities shaping income, opportunity, and impact in the next wave of work.

Hosted by Josh Thompson-Persaud, career and life coach, this 90-minute lab blends reflection, research, and action planning to help you identify the skills that matter most for where you’re heading and build the mindset to grow them intentionally.

This is a working session where you’ll design your own skill map, uncover areas for growth, and leave with a concrete plan to start compounding your potential today. Think of it as a skills reset for the year ahead: grounded, practical, and future-focused.

Format & Flow

  • 5-minute grounding: Set intention, connect to where you are in your career journey.

  • 15-minute talk: The Skill Shift: Why 2026 Belongs to the Learners.

  • 25-minute lab: Identify and prioritize your personal “high-value skill stack.”

  • 25-minute group work: Breakout exercises and guided reflection using the WORK-SELF Skills Builder.

  • 10-minute action design: Build your 30-day learning rhythm.

  • 10-minute close: Discussion, Q&A, and shared takeaways.

What You’ll Learn

  • The 12 high-value skills defining success in 2026 (technical, human, and self-alignment).
