## A Passion for Speaking

### Engage, Inspire, and Transform

I'm Trent Cotton, and I speak to audiences worldwide about HR analytics, data-driven transformation, and what I call the Human Capitalist mindset: using workforce data to shape both culture and the bottom line.

I'm the author of three books that redefine how HR operates: Sprint Recruiting: Innovate, Iterate, Accelerate, High-Performance Recruiting, and The FutHRist, each built around agile, data-backed methods for running HR as an operating discipline instead of a support function.

I've spoken at events including RecFest, Talent42, and HackingHR.
