DisruptHR NEWS: December 4, 2023


G'Day Disruptor!

2023 will go in the record books as one of the biggest years for DisruptHR events, and one of the best - if not the BEST!

We're already seeing scheduled events in 2024 pop up on our Upcoming Events calendar, and I know that many more dates will be announced after the first of the year.

I hope that you'll make plans to attend, be a speaker, or sponsor a DisruptHR event in your city in 2024!

Every day, I see comments and posts on LinkedIn from people who have joined the disruption, and rave about their experience. Here's just a few from the last couple of weeks:
​
​Collin Ponzo - "Last month I had the pleasure of speaking at DistrupHR Boise. I got to tell a whole room of HR folks why they all suck at recruitment. It really is a topic that I am passionate about and something I want to see change. I want to thank Cammas Freeman for the opportunity and the 🎀 to yell at a couple hundred people for a few minutes."

​Judy K. Herman - "You could feel the 'good vibrations' in the room. . . FYI, title of my talk was β€œPick’n up Good Vibrations.” Each of us had 20 slides which advanced every 15 seconds for our concise & clear messages! More than anything, there was wisdom in the room and great relationships with the movers and shakers in our awesome #chattanooga city!"

​Steven Reuter - "In October I had the pleasure of traveling to Moorhead to speak at the DisruptHR Fargo-Moorhead event. Not only was it wonderful to check out my Alma mater, Concordia College, and speak on one of my favorite subjects, I met some absolutely remarkable people in the process."

​Shelley Cadamy - "I presented on #secondchancehiring at DisruptHR Tulsa, and learned that one of the attendees started Second Chance Hiring because of my presentation."

​Brad Owens - "I credit DisruptHR LLC for sending my career on a rocket ship and it’s all because my talk went viral."

​Jamie Swaim - "I’m blown away! Speaking at DisruptHR was bucket-filling. The support in the preparation (thank you speaker coach, Olivia Fitchett), the amazing group I was able to speak with, and the entire experience was top notch. Honored to be included in this list!"

​Louie Lugo - "I am incredibly humbled to be in the Top 5 (#2) of DisruptHR talks; simply flabbergasted. I simply sought to share some of my story, and share my passions in the workplace and in life. It is heartening to know that resonates with people."

​Esteban SΓ‘nchez Botero - "I decided to throw myself out there and give public speaking a shot! No better way to do it than DisruptHR Halifax. ⏰ 5 minutes to say something meaningful. ⏲️ 15 seconds between each slide that changes automatically. Trial by fire πŸ”₯."
