Bio
Christopher Bishop is a workplace futurist, TEDx speaker, LinkedIn Learning instructor, and former IBMer. He has had eight careers so far – including touring rock musician (played with Robert Palmer), jingle producer (sang on the first Kit Kat TV commercial “Gimme A Break”) and Web site project manager (developed Johnson & Johnson’s first corporate Web site).
Chris also spent 15 years at IBM in a variety of roles including business strategy consultant and communications executive at Corporate Headquarters driving social media adoption and the use of virtual worlds for training and events.
Based on this atypical career path, Chris developed a program called “How to succeed at jobs that don’t exist yet” designed to give today’s learners insight into how to navigate the new world of work. He has shared this perspective at various universities including Baruch, Columbia, Duke, Queens College, Stern School of Business at NYU, Texas A&M and Union College.
Chris has recorded a live-action course for LinkedIn Learning called “Future-proofing your data science career” – which went live in May 2020. In addition, Chris gave a talk at TEDxTimesSquare in April 2013 about his multiple careers. He was also awarded a Practitioner Residency by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2011 and spent a month at their Bellagio Center on Lake Como developing his workshop materials and laying out a framework for his book “Improvising Careers.”
