Steve Cadigan Speaking Topics
A global pandemic has delivered us the biggest leadership test in history. Every individual and organization in the world has faced new circumstances and realities simultaneously. While many organizations have been severely impacted or frozen by COVID-19, some organizations have thrived. Difficult times are when you find out who you really are as a leader and a company. While all this feels scary, history has shown us that in prior economic recessions, some amazing innovations can result. In the last economic downturn of 2007-2007 when the global banking market nearly collapsed and thousands of people lost their homes and their jobs, something unexpected resulted: over 30 unicorns were born, such as Airbnb, Uber, Slack, Glassdoor, Groupon, and Dropbox, to name a few. Times or turmoil and change present amazing opportunities to look at problems differently and innovate. In this engaging talk, Steve will reveal examples and stories from history that show us NOW is the best time to play offense as an organization and turn what feels like a disaster into a victory.

Without a doubt, Steve Cadigan is my #1 go-to for all things HR. While I was scalingTwitter, Steve was a great partner for vigorous discussions around strategy, priorities and emergency response! He takes a machete to the noise and gets right to the heart of the issue. What I found most redeeming (and unique) was Steve really held the philosophy that all business decisions are people decisions. He is wholly convinced that people are your greatest competitive advantage, and knows you build a great organization by helping people do their best work. He's a role model, and my HR hero.
VP of Human Resources, Twitter - Apr 01 2019 -
“Steve was a featured speaker at our regional meeting in San Francisco. He spoke insightfully and knowledgeably about innovation and the future of executive recruitment. Steve held the audience’s attention with his sharing of experience on finding and retaining top talent. The feedback was uniformly positive, and he left us wanting to spend more time with him!”
Managing Director, Global Strategy and the Americas Region - Dec 04 2014 -
“I've asked Steve to speak to and work with entrepreneurs on building effective teams and creating internal cultures that excel. In all interactions fortunate participants have been inspired and have actionable areas they can focus on to increase their likelihood of success. Steve addresses the most important yet most overlooked part of any endeavor: People."
Venture Capital and Accelerator Focus EMEA, Amazon - Dec 04 2014 -
“The BBC asked Steve to come and speak at one of our leadership events this summer. We were attracted by his story of competing for talent in Silicon Valley during a time of massive growth at LinkedIn. His familiarity with both tech industry and people issues made him a great fit for our needs. Steve was relaxed and informal but professional and impactful. He did a great job on the day and was well received by our leaders - who are a discerning audience. Thank you, Steve!”
Learning & Development Manager, BBC - Dec 04 2014 -
“Steve blew me away the first time we met. His honesty, passion and obsession about the power of people in the workplace opened my eyes to the possibilities open to great businesses with great people who work together on a common goal. Steve tells with candour the story of Linked In from start up to IPO. He has engaged audiences at my request from C-Suite to front line employees and inspired them to create environments where best people flourish and create real value. I overheard one employee leaving Steve’s talk saying “I get it…it’s all about people!”
VP International HR, Capital One - Dec 04 2014
