The Future of Work is Bright: What’s Next at REVEL® (Including Exciting Early 2026 Announcement)

Dear Revel Community,

The future of work is accelerating faster than any of us expected.

AI will compress 100 years of innovation into the next 10.

And yes, that can feel scary.

But here’s what I believe:Technology does not eliminate human value.

It makes aligned, adaptable, emotionally intelligent leadership matter even more.

Our new REVEL® brand manifesto captures this perfectly.

It reflects who we are becoming as a company and what leaders need now.

We believe clarity is a superpower.

We believe strong cultures outperform chaos.

We believe aligned people build aligned companies.

We believe leaders must rise higher, not grind harder.

And we believe the future of work is bright for leaders who stay curious, grounded, and above the fear.

The world is changing.

And REVEL® is building for what comes next, not what has been.

Onward,

Marcy Stoudt

CEO & Co-Founder, REVEL®

I’m excited to share that Edwin Jansen has joined REVEL SEARCH® as our Strategic AI Advisor. Edwin is one of the most forward-thinking voices in the future of work, and after reading one of his recent articles, I felt something I don’t often feel: fear. Fear about the pace of change. Fear for what jobs will exist for my kids. Fear for every knowledge worker wondering where they fit next. And in that moment, I knew two things:The world is shifting faster than ever.

I needed someone beside me who deeply understands the future of work and the human side of AI. That’s why Edwin joined REVEL® — to help ensure our clients, our candidates, and our team stay ahead of what’s coming next, not behind it. Together, we’re building the future of leadership, talent, and work with clarity, confidence, and humanity.

HOW I MOVED FROM FEAR TO ACTION:

THE REVEL® AI STRATEGIST PROGRAM COMING EARLY 2026

When I read Edwin's article, it shook me.

It made me feel the exact thing I tell my kids to watch out for: “Stress is just negative thoughts about your future.” And I felt myself go there.

And then I remembered what I always teach: When you feel fear, wake up. You own your future. Choose an action that builds confidence. So I did.

I called Edwin. And within hours — literally hours — I opened my laptop, pulled up ChatGPT, and together we built the REVEL® AI Strategist Program.

This program is designed for experienced leaders who are suddenly asking: “What’s my place in the future of work?”

Here’s what we do in the program, very simply:

• Upskill senior leaders in AI fluency

• Build a confident, future-forward narrative

• Create a custom GPT that helps them refine their purpose and value

• Rebuild their LinkedIn profile through their personalized GPT

• Map a networking plan beyond 1st and 2nd-degree connections

• Teach them to “be seen” and “own their narrative” — the two essentials for experienced leaders

• Position them for short-term consulting or fractional roles while they search for their next employer

Most leaders know how to lead teams. But, few know how to confidently “market” themselves after 20 years of experience, especially in a world changing this fast. This program bridges that gap. It takes leaders out of fear and into action and the future of work.

We have been running a pilot of this program for the last 5 weeks and we're excited to open it to the public in early 2026. Next month, we’ll share two participant testimonials — they’re powerful.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

The REVEL® AI Strategist Program is our first step in a much larger commitment: to future-proof the leaders who guide teams, shape cultures, and influence the workplaces we all depend on.

At REVEL®, we’re building tools, programs, and thought leadership designed to help leaders rise higher as the world accelerates.
