Katherine McCord Biography

Katherine McCord is an entrepreneur, international speaker, and the founder and president of Titan Management, a national people operations consulting firm focused on transforming human resources and recruiting through integrity, inclusion, and innovation. With an emphasis on global best hiring practices and diversity hiring, McCord established Titan Management as a national talent acquisition and consulting organization. Titan Management has expanded across multiple industries, offering a team-focused approach to HR consulting and talent acquisition.

Operationally, McCord has assisted multiple companies in establishing policies and procedures, developing departments and training programs, and building vendor partnerships. In recruitment, she has designed programs for organizations ranging from start-ups to enterprise-level companies, achieving industry-leading results, including a project that onboarded 256 hires within two days with a team of five staff members.

An innovator in HR technology, McCord designed the first fully accessible, anti-bias applicant tracking system plugin that eliminates resumes and highlights company diversity. Her patent-pending technology removes unnecessary information from applications, focusing on skill-matching and candidate talents. The system also features a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and candidate experience accountability tool to help organizations meet their goals and attract talent. Among her successful DEI and employee wellness initiatives is the "Make Accommodations Standard" program, which has improved employer brands, saved companies significant resources, and increased productivity by nearly 30 percent. McCord has also achieved notable results in employee relations and retention, with average increases in team satisfaction of 34 percent.

As a physically and neurodiverse individual, McCord has built her career on inclusive innovation in people operations and HR technology. Her personal experiences with MCAS, seizures, bipolar disorder, and OCD inform her advocacy, and she emphasizes success with her diagnoses. McCord is also the founder of The Neuroverse, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to neurodiversity, serving as a resource hub for neurodiverse individuals and allies. Her guiding philosophy is, "Different is not a deficit."

McCord launched the international online show and podcast "Career Launch Live," which addresses topics such as job seeker best practices, DEI, employee relations, and employment law. She works to improve the hiring process nationally by promoting effective practices and fostering proactive conversations through media. McCord has delivered keynote presentations at institutions including AIMS (United Nations), London School of Business, SHRM, HRDS, Web Summit, and Success Champions. She is recognized as an expert in people operations, HR technology, and diversity hiring, and is frequently invited by governing bodies, professional organizations, and charities to share her innovative methods.

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!
