What makes a workplace truly great? At CX Summit 2026, researcher of workplace trends and author Lisa X Walden explains why the future of work is becoming more human-centered, why Gen Z is reshaping employee expectations, and how small leadership changes—or "micro moves"—can dramatically improve company culture. From work-life harmony to creating workplaces that don't suck, this conversation explores why happier employees aren't just better off, they may actually help businesses perform better. #lisaxwalden #cxsummit #bpro Find Lisa X Walden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisaxwalden/ Check out her book: https://www.goodcompanyconsulting.com/book Good Company Consulting: https://www.goodcompanyconsulting.com/ Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/ Follow me on social media Facebook https://www.facebook.com/financecolombia LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/finance-colombia/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/finance_colombia/ Check out my other YouTube Channels: Loren Moss: https://www.youtube.com/@LorenMoss Finance Colombia Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceColombiaShorts E Pluribus Unum: https://www.youtube.com/@Outofmanywebecomeone E Pluribus Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@EPluribusShorts Cognitive Business News: https://www.youtube.com/@CognitiveBusinessNews Cognitive Business Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/@CognitiveBusinessShorts Empleo Bilingüe: https://www.youtube.com/@EmpleoBilingue Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ [https://www.financecolombia.com/] Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ [https://www.fcsubscribe.com/] Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ [https://cognitivebusiness.news/] The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ [https://empleobilingue.com/] More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write [https://lorenmoss.com/write] Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/ [https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/]

A New Era in Colombia: Can de la Espriella Fix the Fiscal & Security Crisis?

Colombia has chosen a new direction. In a historic election, voters handed Abelardo de la Espriella a victory and delivered a clear rebuke to Petrismo and the political forces that have dominated the country in recent years. But what drove this result, and what's next? In this analysis, we break down the key issues that shaped the vote, from security concerns and economic uncertainty to voter frustration with the status quo. More importantly, we examine what de la Espriella's victory could mean for Colombia's future, the challenges awaiting his administration, and whether this election marks a temporary shift or the beginning of a new political era.

The case AGAINST Iván Cepeda

Iván Cepeda presents himself as a champion of peace, social justice, and human rights, but his critics see a very different picture. In this segment, we examine concerns about his ties to controversial political figures, his approach to guerrilla groups and the failed Total Peace strategy, his economic agenda, and his vision for expanding the role of the state. We also explore questions surrounding investor confidence, healthcare reform, political alliances, and his long-standing ideological commitments, offering a critical look at the risks many Colombians associate with a potential Cepeda presidency.

The case AGAINST de la Espriella

Abelardo de la Espriella presents himself as a tough-on-crime, pro-growth outsider, but his candidacy also raises significant questions. In this segment, we examine concerns about his admiration for strongman politics, his long history as a defense attorney for controversial figures, his opposition to key elements of Colombia’s peace process, and the absence of a governing track record. We also explore criticisms of his approach to press freedom, social policy, and public image, offering a balanced look at the risks and uncertainties surrounding one of Colombia’s most talked-about presidential candidates.

The case FOR Iván Cepeda

Iván Cepeda has built his political career around peace, social justice, and advocacy for victims of Colombia’s armed conflict. In this segment, we examine the strongest arguments in his favor, from his focus on neglected regions and marginalized communities to his commitment to implementing the peace accords, his ideological consistency, and his reputation as a disciplined and experienced political operator. Whether you agree with his vision or not, these are the qualities that make Cepeda a serious contender in Colombia’s 2026 presidential race.
