The War for Talent is Shifting Again. Are You Keeping Up? - Kelli Valade


The dynamics of the talent landscape are shifting once again. What was once viewed as a settled advantage is now shaped by shrinking talent pools, rising expectations, and a workplace transformed by AI. While short-term conditions may fluctuate, the long-term direction is clear. Demographics and disruption are steadily shifting power back to the workforce.

In this environment, leadership becomes the true differentiator. Organizations that succeed will be led by executives who engage their people, create purpose, and build trust in an increasingly depersonalized world. Join this candid conversation with Kelli Valade, CEO of Denny’s, to explore how leaders can rise to the moment by reigniting engagement, inspiring performance, and building organizations where people choose to stay and grow.
