Katherine McCord Biography

From being the little girl who sold shares in her "company" and played HR (even firing her own mother!) to the traveling entrepreneur and speaker that she is now, Katherine McCord has had quite a journey!

McCord has multiple physical and neuro diversities, ranging from MCAS and seizures to Bipolar and OCD, and says, "I am successful WITH my diagnosis, not in spite of them". Born in Dallas, Texas she began rescuing animals early on and as an adult became a proud foster mama, even for wolves and exotic animals. Charitable work is always an important facet of her life.

Growing up McCord’s parents always encouraged her entrepreneurial spirit, and boy did that pay off! She currently lives in Florida and runs a company called Titan Management, which she founded in 2014 with the purpose of shaking up HR and recruiting!

She also hosts two shows, Career Launch Live and Super Mania Show, and is the COO and President of the Board of the international neurodiversity and nonlinear group, The Octopus Movement. People Operations and Inclusion have become her passions, and she has dedicated her life to innovating and growing them.

Her missions are: integrity, inclusion, and innovation, and she travels the globe evangelizing for them. McCord's approach is one of engagement, curiosity, education, and definitely humor! She has spoken for AIMS, London School of Business, SHRM, HRDS, Web Summit, Success Champions, and many more wonderful events, organizations, and shows, always bringing a lot of knowledge and quite a bit of fun.

Katherine McCord Speaking Topics

  • Neurodiversity - Understanding the World of the Human Octopus

    Have you ever looked at a peer and thought, "Well, they're different!" It could be that they are neurodiverse.

    The neurodiverse community is one of fascinating and sometimes complex attributes, and this presentations provides a fun deep dive into this curious community.

    Difference is not a deficit, and we will cover how disability plays a role in the neurodiverse world, but it is only a part, not the whole. The science behind the benefits of neurodiversity is staggering, so we will also focus on the benefits and intricate elements of various diagnosis and manifestations. You will learn to best communicate and interact with Human Octopuses, as well as practical, immediately actionable solutions for welcoming them into your realm.

    As COO of The Octopus Movement, a global neurodiverse and nonlinear movement, this is my favorite topic.

    Join me for a peak into the world of Human Octopuses!

  • Unleashing Curiosity and Firing the Ego Defense

    We all have that little voice in our heads that when someone challenges us says "I'm right".

    That is the ego defense mechanism, and it is killing our inclusion, psychological safety efforts, and personal growth.

    This interactive presentation takes the audience through understanding and breaking the ego defense, understanding how it ties into leadership and inclusion, and unleashing curiosity! This is the who, what, when, where, why, and how on taking our minds and careers to a whole new level.

    The audience will leave prepared to grow both personally and professionally while expanding DEI and leadership efforts.

    As an international speaker and people operations entrepreneur with six invisible disabilities, I have seen from every angle the effectiveness of learning to respond in curiosity. Sharing my passion for this topic and teaching others my methods are some of my favorite aspects of my career, and I make sure that my audiences leave motivated and sharing that passion!

  • Firing the BS and Bringing In The Badass:

    This speech (available clean or "free flow") uses personal anecdotes, research/data, and comedy to guide the audience through embracing their challenges (health concerns, mental health, losses, discrimination, moves, etc.) and using them to climb to success. I share my story of physical and neuro diversities and how it all helped me to find success and even design a revolutionary HR Technology and become an international speaker! When I hit the stage, get ready! My presentations are bold, fun, interactive, and designed to elicit active response.

    Every presentation is integrity-focused and full of factual information (all sources are cited), as well as fun, impactful anecdotes. I am about taking action and growth, so my speeches are the same, and always include audience engagement.
