Congratulations Graduate! Eleven Reasons Why I Will Never Hire You.Mark O'Toole
Over the past 20 years, I’ve been in hiring roles and have received thousands of resumes from new college graduates. I’ve interviewed many for real jobs and done my share of informational interviews. Sometimes I’ve hired people into entry-level positions. More often though, I haven’t.
Those who did not get the job were sometimes just not the right fit. Other times, they were trumped by a more impressive candidate or victim to some other random event mostly out of their control.
Too many had the background to make the cut or at least garner a second interview. But disastrous interviewing skills brought you down.
Here are my top reasons why I will never hire you.
A month or so ago, Talent Lab reached out and asked if I'd be interested in speaking at their upcoming event, The Gathering. I was initially caught off guard by the ask (what? me? really?), but beyond honoured - and really, how could I say no?
After saying HELL YES, I spent a few days brainstorming what I could speak about. It initially felt like a challenge to figure out what "I" (HR lady by day, not a Recruiter!) could speak to a brilliant group of talent acquisition professionals about... but then... it hit me.

Four Public Speaking Tips From Standup ComediansRoss Simmonds
How do you give great presentations? How do you captivate an audience? How to you tell a story on a stage? This deck is filled with a handful of insights that answer these questions using inspiration from studying a handful of successful comedians.
7 Creativity Principles For User Experience TeamsTom Illmensee
User experience professionals are often among the most creative people in organizations. We're designers, problem-solvers, and dreamers. But how do we foster creativity within ourselves? How do we sharpen our skills? How do we nurture creativity within our teams and organizations? This talk describes practical ways solo practitioners and teams at all levels can discover and improve creative powers that produce better design outcomes for users, customers and organizations. Attendees will learn how to develop habits that unlock artistry, practice techniques that stimulate experimentation and innovation, and participate in a fun, interactive game that illustrates a simple solution to a common problem many UX people face working in Agile cultures. Inspiration guaranteed.
We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. Yet for too many people, the experience of work is demotivating and dehumanizing.
I don’t think it has to be this way, and I’m willing to bet you don’t either.
At Google, we’ve learned a ton about what makes for an enjoyable and productive workplace. We’re not alone – lots of other companies, ranging from grocers (e.g., Wegmans) to textile companies (e.g., the Brandix Group) to Brooklyn delis (e.g., Russ & Daughters), as well as academics and scientists, have learned the same simple truth: there are straightforward things we can do to make work better.
My new book, "Work Rules!", is an attempt to bring this together and offer you practical tools to improve work, no matter what you do. Check out this visual preview of the book and visit www.workrules.net if you’d like to pick up a copy or learn more!

Executive summary of a seminar given by Kickframe to a group of Canadian marketers. The focus of the session was providing a strategic foundation for planning digital marketing. The approach for this session was:
1. To go broad across the digital marketing toolbox, and not deep on a specific tool
2. To provide guiding principles that are lasting, and not more specific tactical advice
3 . To arm participants with relevant planning tools that they could take and put into action
100 slides = 2 years of daily reading + project experiments + midnight webinar + online/offline courses. This slide is designed for complete beginners to gain an overview and learn more about Digital Marketing / Growth Hacking in the shortest time. And also for marketers to be more user-centric.

This deck is a year old. I was inspired to publish it after attending #LEANIMPACT during the #LEANSTARTUP conference (thanks to @lepitts and @aubrybella). Publishing just to show the evolution of thought (and font:), and to hold myself accountable to publish this year's deck.
Deck from the Science Fair where people were asked to pitch the problem they are solving and the customer rather than the solution, business model and other elements in usual pitch competitions. Then, rather than show a prototype or a demo, they were asked to present one thing they demolished. One fear that they were no longer afraid of. One feature they know is unnecessary. One customer they know don't have a problem. One stigma that they...
I want to solve this problem for this person because... @SuperFounders Adam Berk
Great talk with the @SuperFounders group about startups, hypotheses, problem interviews, leanstartup, and if customer interviews should be structured or unstructured:)
Experimental Startups in Miami thanks to the Knight Foundation Adam Berk
Our goal is to create a community of experimentation in Miami. We got together at The LAB Miami to pitch problems and customers not solutions. We will spend the next year asking each other "What problem are you solving" rather than "how many downloads do you have" or "how much have you raised"?
I had the honor of working with some very fine young women. I promised very little lecturing and slide decks - but this deck kept us on track in between exercises, discussions, and most importantly, experiments!
