💰 PAY GAP Women who ask for a pay rise are more than twice as likely to get one as women who don't, yet nearly 60% of women never negotiate their pay at all. Lean In's research with over 70,000 people breaks down exactly what works and what doesn't, from anchoring high to framing it as a partnership.

🧘 WELLNESS Gut health, brain performance, and social fitness are the three wellness pillars dominating 2026. Cosmopolitan UK rounds up the trends worth paying attention to this year, from bio-syncing your workouts to your cycle, to the rise of analogue wellness (yes, that means going screen-free on purpose).

⚡ PRODUCTIVITY The people getting ahead in 2026 are building smarter systems rather than grinding harder. Georgetown professor Cal Newport's deep work approach comes up again and again in productivity research: block your focus time before meetings steal it, protect your attention like it's your most valuable asset, and stop starting the day in reactive mode.

💬 NETWORKING Most people in your life have no idea what your career goals are, let alone what you actually do day to day. Career coach Dawn Graham's TED talk explains why networking doesn't mean talking to strangers, it means having different conversations with people you already know. Referrals have a 50% chance of getting an interview, whilst non-referrals have only 3%.

🤖 AI SKILLS You don't need a tech background to get up to speed on AI. Google's Generative AI Learning Path takes 1 to 5 hours per module and IBM's AI Foundations runs around 10 to 20 hours total. This curated 2026 roundup maps out exactly where to start based on your level.​
