Drew Fortin
Leading into the Future of Work
The pandemic reminded us that, deep down, we all yearn to find work that aligns with our values and to be with colleagues who share them. There’s no denying it - business is personal. Fast forward to a world of record-high inflation, economic uncertainty, and the most perplexing job market—all now testing how well employers grasp this concept. This is only a test.
The employer-employee relationship has been broken for a while. Determining the role of humans in a working world rapidly proliferated by automation, AI, robotics, and Web3 is the main event. In my session, we'll explore these topics - designed with your team in mind:
- How today’s working world is a mere microcosm of a greater economic shift.
- The disconnect between HR and the rest of the organization.
- What skills and competencies will be invaluable as technology proliferates.
- Why leaders must think "people-first" in order to survive.
Your audience will leave this session feeling educated, inspired, and challenged to take full advantage of the road ahead and future-proof their talent strategy.

What Motivates Me
We are capable of more than we could ever imagine. I've dedicated my career to understanding the human condition and discovering how to use personal development and leadership to move the greatest business growth lever - people. Over the last 20 years, I've learned that if you paint a vision big enough, vivid enough, surround yourselves with people you admire and trust, and you'll be amazed at how quickly you can grow.
I'm fascinated by the impact that technology (automation, robotics, AI, and Web3) is having on humans at work. Contrary to popular belief, the bots are not taking our jobs. They are freeing us up to do more meaningful work. As an advisor, consultant, technologist, and coach, I work with leaders across all walks of life to help them develop and implement plans to lead into this future.
