Bishop is fascinated by how careers will be transformed in the coming decades. Why you will be working is as interesting as what you will be doing. As retirement becomes more concept than reality see how you will be changing to meet the new environment.

He has led seminars at multiple academic institutions, including Baruch, Columbia, Duke, Stern School of Business/NYU, Texas A & M, Union College, among others.
