Forget Talent and Get to Work | Suzanne Lucas | TEDxBasel

We've all heard about the shortages of talent in the HR world. What if, however, the very word "talent" was the root of the problem? Suzanne Lucas shows us the fallacy of talent and how we can all be that qualified employee.
The intro animation was produced as a collaboration between TEDxBasel and the Hochschule Luzern. This animation was created by Benjamin Lüthold, Rhoda Berger and Ramona Graf.

Today, she's a writer and speaker who focuses on explaining the world of work and helping people have better careers, whether it's through a better CV or managing a relationship with co-workers. You can find her writings all over the internet including Inc. Magazine, CBS News, the New York Times, and at her blog, EvilHRLady.org. Suzanne Lives in Bottmingen with her husband and children. Even though she's been in Switzerland for 9 years, she still isn't sure she's doing her recycling correctly.
