Episode 51: Actuarial Education with Mike Callan

**What’s your best tip for actuaries wanting to future-proof their careers?**
“In the early years, keep on learning to write. Mid-career, that's largely around working with other people and working out how to get the best out of them and the best out of yourself. You know, you’ll always do the technical stuff, you’ll pick that up. So, those softer skills, I think are the best ones.”
