Cranky Middle Manager and Me - A discussion about relevancy. Others. Hip and sage, baby!

I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Cranky Middle Manager podcast - my 4th time. This time we talked about what it means to have a relevant mindset (hip and sage). It turned out quite well, I think, so please check it out here. Thanks, Wayne!

Thanks also to Dwayne over at Genuine Curiosity for his review of Hip and Sage. Here is a snippet:

If you work with younger people, being Hip can be a game changer (and becoming Hip can be fun).  Lisa provides a set of techniques and philosophies to help you enlist the help of younger mentors in a way that will tap into their knowledge and excitement, and (I believe) make them want to help you get up to speed.

And check out this interview I did with Vince Thompson on the SmartPlanet website. Here is a snippet:

Do Hip and Sage people fair better when in comes to facing layoffs?

If you are someone who has 20 years of experience you are a valuable person…but if you don’t come into an interview and demonstrate that you not only understand but also know how to use technology to power teams you’ll be at distinct disadvantage.

How do you demonstrate that?

You need to show in your resume....

Aahh, I am such a tease.

BTW - here are the cities I will be traveling to over the next couple of months. Let me know if you would like me to come speak to your company or organization, or do some management training magic (I do believe that the best training feels magical).
