DisruptHR NEWS — Passion Over Perfection: The Secret to Giving a Great DisruptHR Talk
Hello Disruptor! What makes a DisruptHR Talk great? I shared seven tips in the last DisruptHR NEWSletter for giving a great DisruptHR Talk, but I believe that more goes into making a Talk great than the delivery. Some of my personal favorite DisruptHR Talks have been given by people who were terrified to take the stage (it showed), got behind on their slides (but recovered with humor), or had never spoken on stage before (so they were a little rusty). But they all believed in their ideas and wanted to share them with the world. The featured video in this newsletter is a great example of challenging the conventional wisdom about recruiting talent, and the speaker makes a great point. I had the pleasure of seeing this funny Talk given live in St. Peter Port, Jersey back in 2019, and the video now has over 30,000 views online. The world is changing faster than ever, and we need more people thinking creatively about the future of work. Why not share your idea at a future DisruptHR event, and reach thousands of people around the world!

"Let's take a look at your company. Are you in the top 10 companies to work for? No? The top 50? Also no?
You don't have to be number one to be successful. It's fine to be an average company doing average things. But when we have average companies that want to hire ninjas and rock stars, it's a mismatch. If you bring someone into your average company who's in the top one percent, they're not going to be happy. "
