What Every New Graduate Needs to Know: The Essential Skills for the AI Era – Free Online Seminar on August 5 (Wed) Titled 'Your Personal User Manual You Wish You Had Known'

Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) will host an online seminar on Wednesday, August 5, targeting individuals who want to understand the essential skills needed in the AI era. The seminar, titled 'If I Could Go Back to My First Year: The Personal User Manual I Wish I Could Teach First in the AI Era,' focuses on 'behavioral design based on human understanding.'

In today’s world, AI advancements are transforming not only how we work but also how we learn and live. It’s time to pause and ask ourselves: 'What skills should we truly acquire for the future?' In this seminar, the speaker will clearly explain the lifelong knowledge he wishes he could have shared with his younger self—a kind of 'personal user manual' that remains valuable throughout life.

Topics such as sleep, brain tendencies, tips for habit formation, and environmental design for sustained action are not only useful at work but also repeatedly applicable in studying, health, relationships, challenges, and personal growth—across all aspects of life. While mastering AI tools will become increasingly important, the foundational skill is first understanding your own mechanisms and learning how to effectively motivate yourself. Only with this foundation can AI evolve from a mere tool into a true partner that expands your potential. This seminar will also introduce practical methods for integrating these insights with AI to enhance daily actions and learning. Attendees will take away lifelong skills—on sleep, brain patterns, habit formation, and behavioral design—that can be immediately applied in everyday life. Those interested are welcome to join.

Who Should Attend:

- Individuals who want to know the essential skills for the AI era

- Those seeking knowledge applicable not just to work but to life as a whole

- People who want to learn how to act without relying on motivation or willpower

- Anyone interested in human mechanisms such as sleep, brain tendencies, and habit formation

- Those who wish they had learned these lifelong mindsets earlier in life
