He thinks it might involve some body language training, non-verbal affirmations, and listening skills. 10:30 - KD asks if a young Chinese man would rather go into an industrial career or this type of job. Tim notes that they want them to be college educated, pop-culturally savvy, amongst other qualifications. 12:45 - Recently an economic study found that 30 year olds across time and generations don’t have any major change in wealth attained and acquired although, there has been a growing dissatisfaction with the wealth gap in the US amongst young people. 15:15 - KD mentions that he doesn’t know a lot of Boomers that grew up with a lot of wealth or privilege and how our transition into a consumption society has tainted young people’s view of the world. 17:30 - “Comparison is the thief of joy.” - Kris Dunn 21:40 - Tim recently went to SHRM annual and is headed to another SHRM conference with KD. Tim has noticed a small but vocal group on social media trying to stop people from going to these in-person conferences. 24:50 - Tim thinks it’s brave of HR Tech to mandate vaccines for their in-person conferences since it’s alienating about 30% of the potential audience. KD thinks that it’s not brave because they were trying to maximize the biggest audience possible. 28:30 - Tim noticed that there were a lot of extroverts at the SHRM conference and that they were very engaged. 31:40 - Catch Tim and KD at HR Tech from Sep 28 to Oct 1!
