I am listening to Mr. Sidney Poitier and, although I have a press badge, I will never get close enough to ask him the questions that are on my mind.
- How many conferences do you address on an annual basis?
- Do you enjoy this aspect of your career? Or is this just part of the job of being an older and somewhat retired celebrity?
- Who writes your speeches?
- When Sidney Poitier has IT trouble, who does he call?
- Who does your books? How tough is it to manage a celebrity’s finances?
- What’s Sidney Poitier’s worst job EVAH?
- Is that a purple or a pink shirt that you’re wearing, Mr. Poitier? (It’s nice. Looks trendy, actually.)
- Have you ever had a need for HR support, Mr. Poitier? When Sidney Poitier needs to hire someone, who helps you?
- How did you learn how to speak in such a wonderful, rhythmic cadence, Mr. Poitier? You could read the classifieds and it would sound like poetry.
- Give me an example of a time you successfully completed a project, Mr. Poitier. What was it? What was your role? Was the project on-time? Did you meet your budget?
Sidney Poitier just commented on the overall beauty of the women of SHRM. It’s funny, but I wonder if the tool & dye machinists convention or the flight attendant convention that he’ll address at some point will be just as pretty?

Did he say, “They call me Mr. Tibbs”? That would have been cool. I liked your questions…that would be a funny Q&A.
Did he say the men were pretty too? What’s the demographic break down at the conference (I shudder to ask actually…)?
And why doesn’t my gol-dang pic show up when I comment? ARGH!
How exactly has HR affected Sidney seeing as he’s not in a traditional field?
@frank NO TIBBS. (Although he did talk about himself for a verrrrrrrrrry long time.)
@Wench I have no idea why your awesome avatar isn’t appearing. I must call Sidney Poitier’s IT support to deal with it. ALso, he made some obligatory comment about handsome guys but it was totes lame.
@RachL HR affected Sidney’s pocketbook. He’s $xxxxx richer for making that speech!
