WEBINAR
Tuesday, February 17, 2026
10 AM ET / 9 AM CT
When we launched Lakeside Chats more than two years ago, the world of work was already changing — but none of us fully understood just how much. Since then, we’ve lived through:
- Major company reorganizations and restructures across industries
- The rapid (and very real) integration of AI into everyday work
- Ongoing regulatory and political changes impacting employers
- A fundamental evolution in the types of jobs that exist — and how work is valued
Bringing back familiar, trusted voices like Kate Bischoff and David Gramer allows us to pause and make sense of what’s actually happening — not just react to it.
Kate brings a grounded legal perspective on risk, compliance, and policy in a time of rapid change.
David brings insight into how compensation, pay structures, and workforce design are evolving alongside shifting business realities.
February’s Lakeside Chat creates space to:
- Reflect on what’s changed and what hasn’t
- Review how leaders are navigating reorganization, uncertainty, and expectation shifts
- Set thoughtful predictions for how work will continue to evolve in 2026 and beyond
It’s about understanding the forces shaping work — and leading through them with clarity and intention.
Special Guests:
David Gramer
Kate Bischoff
