What if we stopped fixing broken systems—and started building better ones?
“Work as It Could Be” invites leaders to look beyond the short-term fixes and inherited playbooks. Instead, it offers a glimpse into what’s emerging from the edges: bold experiments, reimagined roles, and workplaces designed for both performance and humanity.

Drawing on Coqual’s Global Lab for Better Work Futures, this session surfaces signals from real teams and leaders—those who are quietly redesigning how we collaborate, lead, and thrive. From inclusive leadership at scale, to radical clarity in messy environments, to systems that support resilience rather than reward burnout—this talk helps audiences spot what’s working and why.

Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all vision, this session gives people the space and permission to ask: What if it could be different here?

It’s particularly powerful for executive teams, forward-thinking ERGs, and changemakers who are ready to shape—not just survive—the future of work.
