Featured Article
The Resilience Imperative: Succeeding in Uncertain Times
2020 was a wake-up call. To thrive in the coming decade, companies must develop resilience—the ability to withstand unpredictable threat or change and then to emerge stronger.

This perspective piece introduces our approach to resilience. “Develop resilience” is easy to say but hard to define, and yet harder to do. In this article, we reiterate the imperative, define the components of resilience, and introduce the approaches companies can take to become more resilient. In the coming months, we will publish a series of more detailed articles on the topic, focused on the actions that institutions of different types can take to measure and improve their resilience.

The resilience imperative.

The world is undergoing increasingly rapid, unpredictable, and unprecedented change. But across industries, most companies have remained persistently focused on near- and medium-term earnings, typically assuming ongoing smooth business conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic heralds the need for a new approach.

Catastrophic events will grow more frequent but less predictable. They will unfold faster but in more varied ways. The digital and technology revolution, climate change, and geopolitical uncertainty will all play major roles (exhibit).

3. MAY 26th - "HOW TO BEAT AGE DISCRIMINATION DURING YOUR JOB SEARCH" - $20 Webinar
For jobseekers over the age of 45, there can be ageism challenges that may be presenting obstacles to getting the interviews or job offers you think you deserve. Some firms might refer to you as being “overqualified,” and others think you won’t be challenged enough. But regardless of what it’s called, age discrimination does happen in the hiring process, and it’s not unusual for you to be competing against individuals who may be 10 to 20 years younger than you. 

There are, however, specific actions you can take to lessen your chances of being a victim of these harmful behaviors. During this webinar presentation, Marty Gilbert (NSENG Founder/CEO) will share more than 15 recommendations that have worked for him and hundreds of job seekers that he’s coached. And all of his suggestions can be implemented immediately so that you can reverse a trend that may be holding you back. Here are a few of the topics that Marty will discuss:

  • Misconceptions about older job seekers and how to overcome them
  • Advantages that an older job seeker has over a younger one
  • What you can do to improve your mindset
  • Preparation for interviews that can have a positive impact
  • How to position yourself as the “least risky” hire
  • How to turn your experience into your greatest asset
