Reimagining Workplace Leadership and the Future of Work

Published by
13th February 2026

Our Founder & CEO, David Fairhurst, recently had the pleasure of joining Carmen Sederino on the Beyond the Keynote podcast for a conversation that was both deeply personal and highly practical.

They explored what really sits behind the speaker .. the experiences, stories, setbacks, and reinventions that shape how they show up in front of others.

Across just over an hour, they discussed:

• Why audiences connect more with stories than strategies

• Lessons from my earliest entrepreneurial experiments

• Reinvention as a constant in leadership and careers

• The shift toward skills-based thinking

• What great speakers and leaders do differently

One belief that has stayed with David throughout his career:

“People don’t follow a strategy. They follow a story that they can see themselves in.”

If you’re a public speaker, a leader who presents, or simply someone interested in how ideas actually come to life inside organizations, you may find something useful here.

Grateful to Carmen for creating such a thoughtful and engaging discussion.
