Are Your Clients Asking Harder Questions This Year?
Greetings, Omnia Partners!
Are your clients asking harder questions about hiring, leadership, and AI this year?
They’re not alone. Our Talent Trends 2026 data shows AI adoption more than doubled in the past year across small and mid-sized businesses. But leadership readiness hasn’t kept pace.
The pressure to hire people who can adopt and evolve with AI, develop leaders, and hold onto good people has only intensified. The organizations getting it right are the ones using better data, not just faster tools.
We’ve been in rooms where these conversations are happening, speaking at events and forums on hiring strategy, leadership, multi-generational teams, and more. And we’ve been building resources to bring these insights directly to you and your clients.
In this issue:
- Behavioral Interviewing Guide
- Top 10 Presentation Topics
- Comprehensive Speaking Topics
- Partner Spotlight: Karla Verdi, Elevating Leaders
- Upcoming Webinars
We have planned more resources for you in the coming months. Please stay tuned.

How Karla Uses Omnia
Karla has partnered with The Omnia Group for over 5 years and leverages the Omnia Assessment to help leaders understand and know themselves, and others. In fact, Karla often says the very first thing she does with any leader is have them take the Omnia Assessment, building the self-awareness that becomes the foundation for everything that follows. Karla also assists organizations with “hiring right” and development based on the results of the assessment. Karla assists leaders with building a meaningful development plan by leveraging the information from the assessment.

Take Away Tuesday: Podcast Edition
AI, Leadership & The Workplace
Join Keather Snyder, President and COO of The Omnia Group, and Tonya DeVane, VP of Customer Success, as they sit down to talk about what they’re seeing inside organizations right now. The hiring mistakes companies keep repeating. The managers struggling quietly. The employees disengaging long before anyone notices.
No presentation. No canned talking points. Just an honest conversation about leadership, hiring, culture, and what AI is exposing inside organizations.
If you’ve had the feeling that something about work has shifted recently and you can’t quite put your finger on it yet, this conversation will resonate.
