    I wrote about this show in my journal so it’s safe to say I officially love it. As someone who genuinely loves customer service/working with people in multiple capacities (in addition to dabbling in marketing and staffing) this show hits all the sweet spots. Rob has a great way of connecting with his guests as they share fantastic insights on their industry; their conversation is effortless and informative and I always walk away with something new I want to apply or incorporate into my work.

6,500 Hires in 90 Days: How Kim Virtuoso Built the Workforce Behind Las Vegas's Newest Resort
Q: For folks looking to run a people department at a large, high-profile property, what advice would you give to ascend to that level?
Be imaginative and open to feedback, invest in your own growth, and be willing to face challenges head-on. Surround yourself with the right people, stay authentic, and push through discomfort to learn and lead with a clear focus on culture and the employee experience.
Where Is Tech Talent in 2026? CBRE's Scoring Tech Talent Report with Colin Yasukochi
Q: How should leaders think about shifts in AI-related hiring and layoffs within their organizations?
Recognize that AI can boost productivity while also creating new roles; focus on reskilling and aligning teams with AI-enabled functions, while understanding that some roles may evolve or be absorbed into more senior positions rather than disappearing entirely.
Where Is Tech Talent in 2026? CBRE's Scoring Tech Talent Report with Colin Yasukochi
Q: Colin, what does this mean for the talent teams in practice when choosing where to locate teams?
Talent teams should map the specific skills required to their industry and look for markets where those capabilities are concentrated, rather than chasing a generic 'hot market,' and consider hybrid work as a leverage point to access distributed talent.
Insatiable Curiosity & Talent Transformation with Selena Yuan
Q: How has the shift from a pure research focus to a fully integrated commercial company changed your approach to talent and leadership development?
The shift necessitates a broader view of culture, leadership behaviors, and strategic resource allocation; leaders must enable a culture of psychological safety, ownership, and collaboration to sustain rapid transformation and effectively manage budgets and talent across the organization.
Insatiable Curiosity & Talent Transformation with Selena Yuan
Q: Before we dive in, what can you share about your background and how you wound up at Cytokinetics?
Selena discusses growing up in Beijing, moving to the U.S. for graduate studies, exploring non-linear career paths, and how insatiable curiosity drove her through consulting and multiple life sciences companies before joining Cytokinetics as a leader shaping talent strategy during a pivotal transformation.
