Robin Parsons Talks About Civility (and Incivility) at DisruptHR YQR 3.0

Robin Parsons discusses: Did COVID kill our kindness?

September 24, 2026

Robin Parsons spoke at DisruptHR Regina and talked about civility (and incivility). Her deck opened with a provocation: Did COVID kill our kindness? From there, she spent five minutes making the case for why civility matters more than ever, and no room to ramble while doing it.

If you haven't heard of it, DisruptHR bills itself as "the rebellious future of HR": an information exchange designed to energize, inform, and empower people in the field. The format is brutal in the best way: 20 slides, auto-advancing every 15 seconds, whether you're ready or not. The instructions were simple and a little terrifying: teach us something, make it quick.
