Six “Pink” Career Lessons


4 Comments

Ok, I’m prepared to take some heat for this post.

First of all, the videos are making some of you crazy. If that’s you, feel free to move on – no offense taken.

Actually, this isn’t a video – it’s slides. But yes, the slides are full of what might be referred to as “shallow ideas” and touch-feely cliches. However, I’m just simple enough to believe that I can take some of this information and share it with the Millennials I recruit. I believe it will make sense to some of them.

Sure, we can nit-pick this thing to death. And, I’m sure we will. For goodness sakes, there’s plenty to nit-pick: it’s “184″ slides long!

So, here’s my warning:

- Don’t click on slide 1 unless you are prepared to click 183 more times (however, it really is a fast click-thru)

- Don’t check out the slides if you don’t like touch-feely with a few ol’ fashioned cliches thrown in for good measure

- Don’t watch this if you can’t stand not-so-subtle hints to buy this guy’s book

- Do watch this if you are vaguely familiar with Dan Pink and willing to mull over a few of his ideas

    Absolutely the most valuable thing I did not have to pay money for this year! And better than many of the things I DID pay for. GREAT slideshow.

    Outstanding slideshow. It wasn’t just full of terrific information, it was entertaining, funny, graphically pleasing . . .I could go on. I’m buying book for both my kids and passing this on to others, who I’m certain will do the same. Many thanks.
