Flexible work isn’t new — but doing it well is still rare. In this powerful episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, host Frank Cottle sits down with Cali Williams Yost, a globally recognized futurist, strategist, and CEO of the Flex+Strategy Group.
With nearly three decades of experience guiding Fortune 500 companies, Yost explains why simply offering remote or hybrid options isn’t enough—and how organizations can design flexible work strategies that truly drive performance, innovation, and well-being.
From the myths of “return to office” to the blind spots in AI implementation, Cali offers a wake-up call to leaders stuck in outdated thinking. She explores the role of shared leadership, cross-functional alignment, ergonomic remote design, and Gen Z expectations — and reveals how flexibility, when executed with intention, becomes a competitive advantage.
