Education and Research

[edit]

Floyd holds a Ph.D. in Adult Education from Auburn University (2010). His dissertation, An Exploratory Study of the Philosophy and Teaching Styles of Georgia Workforce Educators, utilized quantitative survey methods to analyze workforce and entrepreneurship instructors.[2]

He also holds an M.Ed. in Adult Education from Auburn University (2005), an M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration from Georgia Southern University (2018), and a B.S. in Business Management.[1] His academic work includes co-authoring the chapter "Community Colleges" in the edited volume Sources of Adult Education (Kendall/Hunt).[3]

Professional Career

[edit]

Floyd has worked across academic, IT, and corporate sectors. His background includes service desk leadership for Dell Federal (supporting the CDC), IT service delivery for Birch Communications, and technology supervision at Kroger.[1]

He served as an adjunct professor at Strayer University from 2010 to 2013, teaching graduate courses in adult learning theory and curriculum design. Early in his career, he served as a program advisor at Auburn University’s Truman Pierce Institute, focusing on K-12 partnerships and grant-supported outreach.[2]

Currently, he works as an internal management consultant in Georgetown University’s Business Design & Optimization Group (BDOG), focusing on operational strategy and cross-functional change management.[1]

Human Signal

[edit]

Human Signal is a strategic framework created by Floyd designed primarily for "Gen X" and mid-career professionals. The platform posits that builders managing systems, teams, or products face specific risks from automation and shifting corporate dynamics.

The core philosophy centers on "asymmetric strategy"—the application of small, deliberate actions to produce outsized career impacts in an increasingly automated labor market.

Operational Layers

[edit]

The methodology is divided into two layers:

  • The Public Wire: Publicly available content, including the Human Signal podcast, intended to establish vocabulary and concepts.
  • The Vault (Builder Class HQ): A private membership tier providing "field manuals" and sensitive operational protocols.

Key Frameworks

[edit]

Floyd utilizes several proprietary frameworks within the Human Signal system:

  • Presence Signaling Architecture (PSA™): A model for managing professional reputation that argues against high-volume content creation in favor of structured "signals." The goal is to align search results and algorithms into a coherent narrative regarding an operator's value.
  • AI as Presence Interface (AIaPI™): A concept defining AI tools as extensions of human judgment rather than replacements. It emphasizes "human-first authorship," where AI is used for drafting and simulation under strict human strategic intent.
  • Hyperprompt™: A structured prompting methodology that treats Large Language Models (LLMs) as junior strategists by explicitly encoding context, doctrine, and constraints before requesting output.

Media

[edit]

The primary distribution channel is the Human Signal podcast, which covers topics such as cognitive defense and the "Architect Economy." The podcast has charted on Goodpods as a management podcast.
