"With The Shift, we're giving leaders a roadmap for 2026, and a way to cut through the noise, identify what's changing, and build strategies that create meaningful visibility and impact."

The Shift will be followed by The Shift Workshop-a live, 60-minute virtual workshop on November 19th.

"2025 has fundamentally changed how stories are told and how brands build credibility. The Shift translates those changes into clarity, giving communicators the insight and focus they need to lead with confidence."
