The Future of Work: From Hype to Habits

Hosted by Akua Nyame-Mensah – Leadership & Culture Advisor

The future of work has been overhyped, but the leadership challenges are real. Hybrid work, AI adoption, and flexible policies aren't trends to watch. They're realities to lead through.

Yet many leaders are spending significant time and energy trying to keep up with new ways of working without always knowing whether these efforts are strategic or sustainable.

This live conversation will explore how leaders can move beyond ideas and build practical habits that make modern ways of working effective and people-centered.

We will talk about how to:

⫸ Build everyday habits that make hybrid and flexible work successful
⫸ Introduce AI and new technologies in ways that support people and performance
⫸ Focus on the future-of-work practices that are strategic rather than simply trendy

With special guests:

⫸ Deepjyot Sidhu – Educator and learning leader focused on leadership development, AI, and building learning communities in times of change.

⫸ Manji Cheto – Business advisor, investor, and commentator on the future of work, skills, technology, and economic transformation across Africa.

This 60-minute interactive session is designed for senior leaders, founders, people professionals, and team leads across sectors.
