Talent Acquisition
A founder is the first recruiter
A strong Talent Acquisition function has immeasurable impact on the future of a growing business. TA should be seen as an extension of leadership, not a service function. Taylor speaks on the value of quality over quantity in recruiting, and how to deliver a hyper-human recruiting experience for better business outcomes.
Diversity & Inclusion
Intention leads to meaningful change
Today we all accept the importance of DEI to a business, yet across industries the subject is shrouded by inaction. Taylor speaks on the importance of pulling DEI out of the recruiting function and creating a sense of shared priority across the business as a whole.


Career Design & Strategy
Think and plan like a startup
Today the talent market is just as liquid as any other market. Longevity is punished, and movement is rewarded. A healthy modern employment relationship is marked by outcomes rather than tenure. Every professional must see themselves as a business, their work as a service. You Are a Startup. Taylor offers speaking and one on one coaching for early career strategy.
