DisruptHR Closing Speaker Knoxville 1.0
June 5, 2025 Happiness Isn’t a Perk; It’s a Habit
UPDATE Top 5 watched DisruptHR videos worldwide week of July 28-Aug5!
The night before, we gathered for dinner—just us. There was laughter, anticipation, and that quiet sense that something bigger was unfolding. We were more than colleagues in that moment—we were united by purpose.
The next morning, we practiced. We showed up early, focused, and full of heart. It was one of those days you know you’ll carry with you.
One by one, we stepped onto that stage. Each voice brought something powerful. We spoke truth. We spoke Knoxville—collaboration, rising together, lifting the message higher than any one of us could alone.
As they came off stage, I met each of them with love and recognition. Good job. You nailed it. I loved this. I meant every word. I was witnessing something special, and I knew it.
And when it was my turn to close, I spoke about what happiness really looks like—how it lives in moments like this. Then I ended with a patriotic, heartfelt “Go VOLS,” because if you know Knoxville, you know that’s part of our soul.
What a Knoxville vibe to remember.
