WHAT

Please Remain Seated, Career Turbulence Ahead — with Ueli Dörig

Is the idea of a “career path” collapsing before our own eyes?

Join us for an open and thought-provoking conversation about the questions we need to ask about our professional journeys. In a world where career pivots are the norm and entire industries can rise—or vanish—within years, the idea of a single, linear trajectory no longer holds up. Yet the pressure to define ourselves by one role or title still lingers.

In this session, guest speaker Ueli Dörig shares his unconventional path and offers a perspective that challenges how we think about careers, identity, and success. Together, we’ll explore the limits of linear thinking, the shifting role of specialization, and how to navigate a future shaped by rapid change and AI.

Agenda:

• Conversation with Ueli Dörig
• Q&A

About Special Guest

Ueli Dörig is what happens when you mix a Swiss elementary school teacher, a jazz composer, and a data-savvy public sector leader—and hit “shuffle.” Born and raised in Switzerland, he started out teaching young minds before trading the classroom for the global stage, earning a degree in jazz composition from Berklee College of Music in Boston. Along the way, he even completed his Swiss Army service as a musician (proof that not all soldiers march—some swing).

Today, Ueli leads teams at the intersection of data, design, and digital transformation in the Canadian public service, turning complex problems into human-centered solutions. When he’s not shaping strategy or mentoring teams, he’s a published author of educational music books used by learners around the world.

In short: part educator, part artist, part human-centricity geek—with just enough Swiss precision to keep it all in tune.
