CultureCon 2026 Speaker Announcement
We’re excited to welcome Eric Glenn, CDP® and Sertrice Shipley as copresenters at CultureCon 2026!
Their session is titled: “From Mistrust to Momentum: Turning Employee Voice into Culture Change During Turbulent Times”
When organizations experience leadership transitions, restructuring, low morale, or other forms of disruption, employees often feel disconnected from decision making and skeptical that their feedback will lead to meaningful change.
Rebuilding trust takes more than communication. It requires a clear path from employee voice to visible action.
In this case-based session, Eric and Sertrice will share how they partnered with Virginia Tech University Libraries to address deep mistrust through employee listening, community dialogue, leadership engagement, and culture strategy. Attendees will gain practical insights into how organizations can transform feedback into momentum and create lasting change, even in low trust environments.
Through real world examples, participants will explore how to balance quick wins, leadership development, and long term culture infrastructure to create sustainable progress.
In this session, you’ll explore how to:
-Translate employee voice into action using a structured data to decision framework.
-Select and partner with external consultants in ways that strengthen credibility and trust.
-Design culture strategies that balance immediate action with long term transformation.
💡 HR Should Become Human Potential
What if HR stood for something bigger?
Latesha Byrd (Perfeqta) shares a powerful reframe: move from human resources to human potential.
Great teams don’t just manage policies, processes, or people operations. They create the conditions where people, teams, and organizations can truly thrive. That’s the future of people-first leadership.

AI Experimentation: Curiosity, Courage, and Ethical AI
At CultureCon’s AI Summit, Daniel Raffield of Karrikins Group shared a perspective that really stuck with the room:
No one hands us a roadmap for the meaningful moments in our careers. We figure it out through experimentation, reflection, mistakes, and growth.
AI feels the same way right now.
There’s no perfect playbook. We have to learn where to experiment, where to slow down, where ethics matter most, and where we as humans still need to show up fully.
That’s the real challenge of this moment. Not just adopting AI, but navigating it intentionally.
