– The question that keeps professionals awake at night
If you’re an experienced professional or leader, you’ve felt it.
That low-grade anxiety when another headline announces AI replacing analysts, writers, designers, developers, even strategists. The quiet unease when your organisation rolls out a new AI tool that does in 30 seconds what used to take your team three days.
You ask yourself: “Am I next?”
But here’s the problem with that question—it’s binary, and your career isn’t.
AI won’t necessarily “take your job” outright. It’s far more likely to:
- Automate 40% of what you do
- Commoditise the routine parts of your expertise
- Shift the bar for what “senior” means
- Make the number of roles like yours shrink
So you don’t get replaced overnight. You get outcompeted. Sidelined. Restructured around.
And generic career advice won’t save you.
Why most career planning fails in the AI era
Traditional career coaching and planning tools were built for a stable world:
- “Play to your strengths”
- “Network more”
- “Get another certification”
All useful. None of it answers:
- Which of my daily activities are genuinely at risk, and on what timeline?
- Where are the real growth markets for someone with my profile and location?
- What specific skills will separate me from AI-augmented juniors and cheaper offshore labour?
- How do I transition from corporate-dependent to resilient without burning my savings?
You need precision, not platitudes.
You need to see the terrain clearly, then build a plan that works even when budgets shrink and AI gets better.
What CareerImpact.AI actually does
CareerImpact.AI is a strategic career assessment and resilience planning service I built with some friends recently after three decades leading talent and learning teams through wave after wave of disruption.
Here’s how it works:
1. You provide your career context
Your CV or work history, current role, location, typical work activities, professional interests.
2. We run a deep, multi-dimensional analysis
Combining your profile with:
- Labour market data (demand, supply, salary benchmarks)
- AI and technology adoption rates by sector and region
- Work activity automation probabilities over 0–10 years
- Growth trends and skill demand forecasts
3. You receive a 30+ page Strategic Career Assessment
Not a PDF to file away. A playbook you use for the next 1–3 years.
It includes:
📊 Automation Risk Score & Breakdown
- Overall score (e.g., 35% medium risk)
- Activity-by-activity analysis: which tasks are high/medium/low risk and when
- Time horizons: what’s at risk in 0–3 years vs. longer term
📍 Location-Specific Market Opportunity Analysis
- Demand, supply and growth outlook for your region
- Salary ranges for current and pivot roles
- Technology adoption rates by sector
- Geographic advantages and challenges
🎯 Future-Proofing Skills Strategy
- Priority technical skills (AI for your domain, analytics, platform expertise)
- High-value human skills (coaching, stakeholder influence, creativity)
- Recommended courses with time/effort estimates
- Strategic skill combinations that maximise market value
🛤️ Tiered Career Strategy
Three pathways, not one:
- Tier 1 (Career Mitigation): End-state roles structurally hard to automate—trust-based, regulated, high-autonomy
- Tier 2 (Extended Runway): Viable appropriate roles for 3–5 years that support your transition
- Tier 3 (Immediate Value Extraction): Roles you can secure in 0–12 months to restore income and build credentials
📅 Integrated Action Plan
Sequenced milestones with dates, effort ratings and impact scores:
- Immediate (0–3 months): CV/LinkedIn repositioning, targeted outreach, pilot offers
- Short-term (3–12 months): Credentials, AI-enabled case studies, thought leadership
- Long-term (1–3 years): Income diversification targets, accreditation, proprietary IP
📦 Ready-to-Use Assets
- Multiple tailored CVs for different pivot roles
- Signature service offers you can test or pitch
- Metrics dashboard to track your resilience progress
The real value: clarity, strategy, action
Here’s what people tell me CareerImpact.AI gives them:
✅ Clarity instead of anxiety
You stop worrying vaguely about “AI taking over” and start seeing exactly where you’re vulnerable, where you’re resilient, and what the timeline looks like.
✅ A strategy that’s actually yours
Not generic. Not one-size-fits-all. Built for your work mix, your market, your strengths, your constraints.
✅ Concrete next steps, not just insight
You finish the assessment knowing what to do Monday morning, what to complete by Q2, and where you need to be in three years.
✅ Long-term resilience, not short-term fixes
The whole design steers you toward income based on trust, judgement and regulated expertise—the things AI and cheap labour can’t easily replicate.
For mid- to senior-career professionals, it’s like having a strategic advisor, market researcher and career coach working together—but delivered as a structured, data-rich playbook you own and can act on immediately.
Why We built this
I’ve spent 30 years building award-winning learning and talent teams across gaming, energy, retail and professional services. I’ve led global succession frameworks. Coached hundreds of senior leaders. Built talent intelligence systems that drove millions in measurable impact.
And I’ve watched—repeatedly—as technology, offshoring and restructuring eliminated roles I thought were “safe.”
I know what displacement looks like before it shows up in the redundancy notice.
CareerImpact.AI is the tool I wish I’d had three years ago when I started seeing generative AI reshape the work I do.
It’s built for people like you:
- Experienced professionals who’ve built real expertise
- Leaders who know their domain but feel the ground shifting
- People who don’t want to hope for the best—they want a plan
Who this is for
Career Impact AI is designed for:
✔ Mid- to senior-career professionals in knowledge work, leadership, HR, L&D, consulting, analytics, strategy
✔ People currently employed who want to future-proof before the next restructure
✔ People between roles who need to pivot strategically, not desperately
✔ Leaders who want autonomy—building portfolio careers, advisory practices, coaching businesses that don’t depend on one employer
If you’re asking “How do I still have income and choice when AI can do half of what I do today?”—this is for you. Don’t wait for ‘them upstairs’ to tell you, take action now. You may even find your awareness and action makes you indispensable to your current employer too!
What happens next
The assessment takes about 10 minutes to complete.
You’ll receive your Strategic Career Assessment Report within minutes (5-10 usually) —a comprehensive, personalised roadmap you can start acting on immediately.
No fluff. No generic lists. Just precision strategy for your career resilience in the AI era with non affiliated links to resources and tools that can help you learn, grow and prepare.
Fancy a free beta test assessment: Comment “BETA” and DM me your email address for a free no obligation beta test assessment. All we ask is you give us a bit of feedback afterwards.
Because the best time to build resilience was six months ago!
The second-best time is today.
