2026 Is a Reset, Not a Tweak
In this solo, can’t miss episode of the GCUC Podcast, Liz Elam breaks down the megatrends shaping the future of coworking and the world of work, and spoiler alert: it’s not about desks anymore.
From the end of “hybrid work” debates (finally) to the rise of belonging, hospitality, wellness, AI, and purpose-driven real estate, Liz connects the dots between culture, community, and human need. She dives into why coworking is becoming civic infrastructure, how Gen Z is rewriting the rules, why emotional intelligence is the new competitive advantage, and what it actually means to design spaces that help people feel good, not just look good.
This episode is part trend forecast, part reality check, and part rally cry for operators, leaders, and anyone building the future of work.
Expect bold takes on:
Intentional gathering over daily attendance
Community as core infrastructure
Hospitality > perks
AI that empowers humans
Wellness that goes way beyond yoga room
Leadership shifts shaping what comes next
If you care about where work is headed and how coworking becomes the solution, this one’s for you.
Press play and step into 2026.
