Mexico’s Independence celebrations remind us where we come from. They can also remind us that a country moves forward when its people have better tools to decide, communicate, lead, sell, learn and use technology with judgment.
Mexico is already using AI. The next challenge is turning it into professional capability.
Microsoft’s 2026 Work Trend Index reported that 67% of Mexican AI users say they now perform work they could not do a year ago. Yet only 28% perceive clear leadership alignment to turn those new capabilities into new ways of operating. Access to AI is not enough; leadership, judgment, communication and practice are needed to convert it into results.
PwC Mexico’s 2026 AI Jobs Barometer adds another signal: demand for talent with AI skills doubled in 2025, with roughly 68,000 job postings requiring these capabilities. Continuous learning is no longer a technology luxury; it is becoming part of professional relevance and productivity.
Technology is growing, and human skills are becoming more valuable too.
LinkedIn’s Skills on the Rise 2026 shows employers paying more attention to what people can actually do. Fast-growing areas include leadership and people management, executive and stakeholder communication, cross-functional collaboration, business development and growth strategy, alongside technical and strategic AI capabilities.
The World Economic Forum points in the same direction: 39% of current skill sets may be transformed or become outdated between 2025 and 2030, and 59 out of every 100 workers would need training. AI and big data lead the fastest-growing skills, while leadership, social influence, analytical thinking, resilience, active listening and lifelong learning remain essential. The future of work is not human versus machine; it is better-prepared humans using better tools.
Sales: AI can help you reach people, but the conversation remains human.
Automating prospecting or analyzing information has limited value if we cannot listen, diagnose, build trust, communicate value, handle objections and negotiate. Modern sales development therefore needs to combine technology with consultative selling, relationship development and collaboration.
Up-to-date education should also be accessible.
Mexico is expanding access to technology education. In 2026, the federal Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency opened 30,000 places for a second cohort of public online training in AI and other digital fields. It is one more sign of the scale of the challenge: people need continuous, flexible learning that fits around work.
Esteborg was built around that practical idea. It does not replace a degree, university or professional experience. It complements them with AI-guided practice in four connected areas: Leadership, Communication, Sales and Artificial Intelligence. In Mexico, individual programs are publicly priced from MXN $249 per month and Esteborg Premium from MXN $549 per month, keeping the entry barrier well below many traditional executive programs.
An Independence celebration that also looks forward.
- Lead better so technology becomes decisions and execution.
- Communicate clearly to build trust, coordination and influence.
- Sell consultatively to create relationships and sustainable growth.
- Use AI with judgment, verification and business focus.
To everyone celebrating in Mexico this September 15 and 16, or carrying Mexico in their heart: may these Fiestas Patrias bring pride, unity and confidence in what we can build together. From Esteborg, we wish you a warm, safe celebration full of good moments with family, friends and community. ¡Viva México—and viva everyone who keeps learning, growing and opening new paths!
