Rethinking Work: Trust, AI, and the Teams of Tomorrow with Brian Elliott | #46

What if the future of work is not about doing more, but becoming more human?

In this episode of I Can Fit That In, Erin Coupe sits down with workplace expert, bestselling author, and Work Forward CEO Brian Elliott for a powerful conversation about leadership, burnout, AI, team dynamics, and what truly drives sustainable performance in today’s evolving workplace.

Drawing from decades of experience at companies like Google and Slack, Brian shares why curiosity is the leadership skill that matters most, how hustle culture continues to damage performance, and why the strongest teams are built on trust, clarity, and human connection.

Together, Erin and Brian unpack the tension between flexibility and accountability, the hidden cognitive cost of AI, and how leaders can create healthier, more sustainable ways of working without sacrificing results.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why AI is increasing cognitive overload for many teams

- The leadership mindset that creates trust and engagement

- How sustainable performance actually improves business outcomes

- Why empathy and team connection matter more than ever

- The shift from productivity obsession to meaningful impact

If you’ve been questioning the way we work, lead, and define success, this conversation will leave you feeling both grounded and hopeful.
