Part 2: The Futurist Framework Every Leader Needs for an AI-Driven Future of Work

January 30, 2026: The future of work is accelerating—and for many leaders, it feels overwhelming.

Political shifts, new laws, rapid advances in AI, rising ethical expectations, and changing employee demands are all converging at once. The volume of change can make it feel like you're stuck on a treadmill that keeps getting faster.

But here's the reality: not every trend deserves your attention.

In this episode, I walk through how external forces—political, legal, and ethical—are reshaping the employee experience, from pay transparency and AI governance to data privacy, workplace monitoring, and evolving expectations of leadership. I also explain why compliance is no longer just an HR or legal responsibility—it's becoming a shared leadership mandate.
