Maybe you think I’m taking a cue from Cosmo here: Look Younger at Any Age! Before I lose you, let me just say that it’s pretty true that anyone, at any age, is better off being younger when they interview. Example?

When I was 16 and working for my grandma at her bookstore , I staged an insurrection due to low pay.

Her call touched me deeply. She was trying so hard… to establish the right vision, to key in on the important behaviors, to scaffold and develop…and her team just wasn’t listening.

Here are ten questions worth asking when you hit that wall– when your team is just not listening.

Throughout our new book, Winning Well (available now!), David and I talk consistently about the importance of confidence AND humility, results AND relationships. So many of the managers we work with tell us that the hardest part to master is confidence.

It’s been almost 5 years since that fireside chat. My friend “Joe” and I were one of the last few remaining at our campsite fireside on our annual church camping trip. The embers were glowing and yes, there was a bit of whisky involved. I distinctly remember Val emerging from her nearby tent in her pajamas and explaining that although our conversation was “indeed fascinating”, she was tired, and to please keep it down.

With the increased interest in reskilling and upskilling existing workforces, companies are looking for more training and development content and realizing that higher education has a lot to offer.
