One question I am asked a LOT is “What do you think about AI and its impact on (“my job” OR “the industry” OR “my workforce planning” OR “the economy” OR fill-in-the-blank)?
I predict that in 2024, #AI will be part of every conversation — every process discussion, every platform & tool purchasing discussion, every candidate engagement & experience discussion — in #TalentAcquisition.
DO NOT MISS the world premiere of #AI4Talent 2024. The speakers represent a Who’s Who of the most innovative TA thinkers & practitioners; the agenda will explore innovative products, strategies, and best practices, while discovering how AI is reshaping the future of work. I am moderating a panel there and I very much want to see you there.
I am SOOO excited about my new role as the Editor for SourceCon. In this video, Megan Whittington leaves to pursue her next career adventure as I accept the reigns. To say I’m excited is an understatement. Tune in for all the tea. | Sign up for the SourceCon newsletter to keep up with me and all things SourceCon at https://www.sourcecon.com/

If you know anyone seeking a speaker to discuss the future of work, please share my info with them. I am open to a discussion. For the uninitiated, here is a sample presentation where I was given 10 minutes to impress the Hacking HR crowd in Atlanta. (I did it with 30 seconds to spare. Whoo-hoo!!!)
If you have ever seen me speak, please leave a testimonial here as that would be a BIG help. Here are a few positive comments I found online.
