Micky Ahuja | How to Use a Crisis as Your Pre-Season Preparation

About This Video

In this video, Micky Ahuja addresses a question he’s asked frequently: what will the world and job market look like after Covid, and how should people use this time to prepare? Speaking from Melbourne during Victoria’s lockdown, Micky reflects on rising technology adoption, business losses, and why the real differentiator going forward won’t be the pandemic itself, but how people chose to use this pause. He shares a direct message to his 2,000+ national employees in Australia: don’t waste this time — use it to build new skills and come out transformed.

Key Topics Covered

  • Why technology adoption accelerated during Covid while human employment slowed
  • The reality of business losses during the pandemic and what it means for the job market ahead
  • Why your next paycheck will be directly tied to how you used this downtime
  • The risk of being left behind by technology if you don’t actively keep learning
  • A personal message to immigrants (and children of immigrants) on using this time to strengthen English language skills
  • Why going “back to basics” is often the answer to preparing for what’s next
  • The choice between staying the same or actively transforming — personally or professionally
  • Micky’s direct offer to help anyone looking to use this time productively

Summary

Micky opens by addressing a question he’s asked often — what do post-Covid trends look like, and how should people prepare? He observes that while technology is accelerating, human employment has slowed, with businesses across the world reporting heavy losses. He acknowledges this is a difficult reality, but reframes the pandemic period as a “pre-season” — a chance to prepare before the economy bounces back, as it inevitably will. His core message, delivered to his own team of over 2,000 employees across Australia, is simple: don’t waste this time. Whether it’s learning a new skill, improving English language proficiency (a point he makes personally, as an immigrant himself), or otherwise investing in personal development, Micky stresses that technology and the market will keep moving forward regardless — the only question is whether you move with it. He closes by giving viewers a choice: if you’re happy continuing exactly as you were, that’s fine, but if you want a better outcome in the future, this is the time to learn, adapt, and transform — and he personally offers to help anyone who reaches out.
