Personal branding and understanding the importance of being a brand has been very helpful for me. It has allowed me to show who I am and look forward to my future and how my digital identity will help me in my career and personal life. It’s a reflection of my beliefs, personality, aspirations and the impact I want to have. Guiding every contribution, interaction and decision.

Vanessa´s personal reflection on the professional future
In shaping our professional future, it is essential to achieve a balance between technological advancements and societal welfare instead of letting the market completely govern our careers.
In the constantly changing domain of professional development, the assimilation of novel technologies plays a crucial part in moulding the future. Although technology undoubtedly propels us towards proficiency and equips us with capabilities that would have been unimaginable a few centuries ago, relying on it excessively or using it inappropriately can impede our progress and hinder our advancement instead of fostering it.
The incorporation of new technologies should not lead to the disregard of social values and human welfare. Instead, we are responsible for shaping policies and frameworks that prioritize the well-being of individuals in a rapidly evolving professional environment. This approach enables us to fully harness technology’s potential to enhance our lives and simultaneously guard against uncontrolled consumption.
In today’s world, technological advancements are dominating the professional sphere, leading to radical transformations. Automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence are altering industries, resulting in unprecedented changes in the way we work. In this context, the social repercussions of a market-driven society furnish a valuable framework to comprehend the implications of these developments.
The commodification of labour and the subjugation of societal needs to the demands of the market could lead to social dislocation and upheaval. When examining the integration of new technologies into our professional futures from this perspective, we must carefully consider how these changes affect the balance between market forces and human well-being.
The current global trend of consumption commodifies not only goods and services, but also labour and nature. This trend is particularly evident in the realm of new technologies, as shown by the gig economy, where individuals are transformed into commodified units of labour in a digital marketplace. Although these platforms provide flexibility and efficiency, they also give rise to concerns surrounding job security, fair remuneration, and the undermining of traditional employment frameworks.
