“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein
We’re with Einstein on this one.
Traditional HR and leadership practices are broken. The same processes, initiatives, and way of doing things have been repeated for decades and it’s led to overworked, depressed, and disconnected workforces.
We’re changing that. We want creative ideas and different results to help put your people plan as the most important indicator to a healthy and profitable bottom line.
And that is why DisruptHR has created a platform to host these provocative conversations.
The Corker Co is hosting the one and only DisruptHR YVR of 2019 to bring together a community of people leaders–HR professionals, CEOs, technologists, and business leaders–for a buzzing night of presentations with a purpose to shift the way we work. People matter the most and this is the event to share your disruptive practice on how you’re transforming the workplace.
We believe in intersectional leaders and commit to elevating and including people of many different experiences and identities. Our speaker line up will reflect this commitment. Our venue is accessible by public transit and for those with different mobility impairments. English-American Sign Language interpretation can be made available for the entire program. Should you require ASL or any mobility assistance, please reach out to Matt at matt@thecorkercompany.com.

ASL Instructor?
Hi There,
I work with a midrange non profit and I am just at the beginning stages of planning to start training all staff basic ASL; eventually training some in more advance ASL. I am wondering if you may know of someone that I may be able to consult with about this? Or maybe I could put up an add seeking out professional support to undergo this.
Kind Regards,
Melissa Irving | Director of Supported Living

Personal trainer looking to grow a deaf clientele group
Hello,
My name is Rob Derman, I am a personal trainer and Olympic Skeleton coach in the 2018 Winter Olympics. I began learning sign language when I started working at the City of Coquitlam 7 years ago, and now I want to use my knowledge of sign language and fitness to work with the Deaf community in Vancouver. Right now I am looking for 5-10 people who want to begin working out and work with an online trainer.
I am offering a 12-week fitness challenge for $300 (normally $600), where I provide specific workouts for 2-5 days/week to take a group of people closer to their fitness goals for the summer. Any and all fitness levels are welcome! My programs are great for people who have never worked out before to elite athletes who want to fine tune their skills.
This challenge will begin on May 1st and I want to get the word out the Deaf community in Vancouver. I am hoping this is a good place to start. Any help passing this information on is greatly appreciated!
Any questions can be sent to contact@robderman.com
Thank you,
-Robert Derman

Zee Zee Theatre’s Dead People’s Things – ASL Interpreted Performances
Dead People’s Things by Dave Deveau
ASL Interpreted Performances: April 20 at 2 pm, May 3, 8 pm
Studio 16, 1555 West 7th Avenue
Directed by Cameron Mackenzie
Starring Eileen Barrett & Meaghan Chenosky
This poignant, darkly comic tale based on true events is a reflection on the stories behind the things we collect as we go through life. The play is a heartrending haunting that examines loneliness and the strange contradiction between belongings and belonging.
The production is based on the real-life events of award-winning local writer Dave Deveau and his husband, director Mackenzie, experienced following the death of the playwright’s aunt. This deeply personal play marks Deveau’s 11th premiere, following acclaimed works such as My Funny Valentine and The Cultch’s 2017 hit Elbow Room Café: The Musical.
