Carmen Van Kerckhove offers a grounded, nuanced take on how technology, ambition, identity, and social class intersect in today’s rapidly evolving world of work. Her thoughtful analysis and compelling storytelling have made her a sought-after commentator on cultural change, career reinvention, and the shifting realities of the modern workplace.

She has been featured in outlets such as CNN, NPR, MSNBC, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, and her writing continues to resonate with audiences navigating change, reinvention, and the pressure to succeed in unstable times.

Carmen’s upcoming book, The Slingshot Effect (Crown Currency), explores why strategic pullbacks—once seen as failures—are often the key to lasting transformation. It offers a provocative framework for understanding career reinvention and the mindset shifts required to thrive in the future of work.

She is available to provide fresh perspective and insight for media coverage on topics including:

• Career reinvention and the psychology of pulling back to pivot

• The shifting meaning of success in an uncertain economy

• AI, automation, and the emotional impact of job disruption

• Social class and the new hierarchy of work

• Burnout, ambition, and redefining achievement in the post-hustle era
