This week’s Five for Friday sits at the intersection of past, present, and what’s quietly becoming unavoidable.

 

1️⃣ When the Lions Speak: Rewriting the Stories We Inherited.

As futurists, our TomorrowToday team spends a lot of time looking forward – but equally, we can’t do that well without revisiting what we think we “know” about the past.

This reflection from Keith explores how inherited narratives shape today’s fault lines, and why leadership means challenging them. Read more here…

 

2️⃣ The current world is tough to navigate and even tougher to strategise for.

Catch Graeme and Dean’s latest LinkedIn Live on the big, obvious shifts leaders can’t afford to ignore (and how to respond before they become expensive). Watch here…

 

3️⃣ The World of Work in 2026: Ten Trends to Watch.

2026 won’t just be “more change” – it’s where a few shifts quietly move from interesting to irreversible (think agentic AI, skills-first talent, and hybrid becoming core infrastructure).

This article lays out 10 signals that will reshape jobs, culture, and leadership decisions and a couple of them are already showing up in organisations that thought they had time.

Book a TomorrowToday workshop to turn these trends into a clear action plan for your team.

 

4️⃣ If you’ve ever had that quiet “wait… could this be me?” moment while learning about neurodiversity, this conversation is for you. In this episode, Graeme sits down with Dr. Sarah Babb to explore neuroinclusivity, including late diagnosis (especially ADHD in women), the stigma around disclosure, and why “normal” brains are a myth. Together, they discuss how neuroinclusion unlocks innovation, resilience, and real competitive advantage. You can watch here…

 

5️⃣ How to avoid being canceled by Gen Z.

Here’s a great article for anyone leading across generations and secretly worried you’ll say the “wrong thing” around Gen Z, or perhaps just don’t understand them and how they are in your team! You’ll find insights into this cultural gap and some practical ways to close the gap with curiosity, rather than defensiveness here.

Also – watch out for our April podcast episode where we share a fascinating conversation between Graeme and Zavier Coyne, the Gen Z Coach.

 

As always, take what’s useful, sit with what challenges you, and pass on what sparks a good conversation. If one of these themes feels particularly close to home, that’s usually worth paying attention to. Get in touch, and let’s chat.
