Top News from Today's "Boomiverse"

Speak Up
David Stillman and Lynne Lancaster

Overview: “Sure, we have those Boomers who are retiring in the traditional way, but many Boomers not only enjoy working, but feel identified by their jobs. Others have a strong need to be fulfilled and make a difference. Still others must continue working to stay afloat financially. Not enough leaders are tuned in to Boomers who are far from wrapping it up and are only beginning to ramp it up—a golden opportunity in a time where talent is scarce, but a huge missed opportunity when no one is willing to talk about it.”

Overview: “I think the baby-boomers may have been a historical blip…Healthier and wealthier than any previous generation, they grew up in an era seeded with hope, revolution and verdant creativity. How much they were favoured by the tide of history and how much they created their own good luck by their feisty resolve to live their lives as they wished will always be debated.”
