The New Career Skill No One Talks About: Agility (AQ)

Uncertainty at work is everywhere—from AI shifts to layoffs to constant change. But how you respond to it can shape your career. In this episode, Lauren sits down with executive coach Liz Tran to explore AQ (Agility Quotient)—the skill of navigating change with confidence. You’ll learn how to understand your response to uncertainty and build the mindset to adapt.

You’ll learn:

  • Why AQ matters more than IQ or EQ in today’s workplace
  • The 4 Agility Archetypes—and what yours says about you
  • Simple ways to respond (not react) when things feel uncertain
