When you're a speaker for DisruptHR Memphis, we ask that you "define" yourself as if you were to look in the Webster's dictionary.
This Visionary Music Man Jay Hoffman's definition is quote profound, and the words "wants to heal the world" is exactly who he is.

For the Disruption After-Hours event on September 22, here's Music Man Jay Hoffman's description for his flash talk, Books I Wish Were Written:
Summer time reading is a must! While the New York Times Best Seller List is full of love, seduction, power, intrigue, and disasters (and that is only the books from past and current employees of the White House), where are the books that HR Leaders want to read. Need to read? Let's write the books together with a Title and a Summary of what the book is about!
Now this will definitely be an eye-opening, entertaining 5-minutes !
Music Man is also a DisruptHR Memphis alum, taking the Disruption Matinee-Style stage in 2023, with his topic "Hey! What about me?" as it related to healthcare. You can see his flash talk video at disrupthr.co/memphis, scrolling to the 2023 videos.
