Trent Cotton

Speaker| Author | Human Capitalist.

I help HR leaders and exec teams get real about the future of work. Whether I’m on stage, behind the mic, or in front of a camera, my focus is clear: challenge the status quo, unpack the impact of AI on talent strategy, and help teams move from reactive to revolutionary.

As an author and speaker, I’ve spent years translating complex HR and tech trends into real-world strategies that drive results. My message is blunt—HR isn’t dead, but it does need to evolve.

On my podcast, The Human Capitalist, I sit down with the people reshaping the world of work. No buzzwords. No fluff. Just the kind of insights leaders can actually use.

If you’re looking for someone to fire up your event, challenge your team’s mindset, or just shake things up—I’m your guy.
