Hiring Septuagenarians
with David Gouthro
There is a skill and resource shortage in virtually every organization as a consequence of the COVID-19-infused chaos. Employees are choosing not to be employed by the same organization or any organization for that matter. At the same time, there are many talented individuals who have been placed on a shelf by society because of their age.
🛎 In this episode
Business consultant David Gouthro talks about how to attract and adapt to leverage the power of experience by hiring retirees.
ABOUT DAVID
A seasoned (but not too spicy!) speaker with over 40 years of experience, David is a sought-after consultant who is best known for his creative presentations, playful demeanour, and relentless focus on delivering value to his clients, colleagues and community.
David’s experience comes from working with clients on four continents, in organizations that range from mining, energy, healthcare and financial services . . . to high tech, biotech, government and the not-for-profit sector.
As the father of a precocious 22-year-old daughter Anna, he has been forced to embrace the qualities of humility, patience, good humour and . . . acceptance of his own parental inadequacies!
The main focus of his current business involves working with individuals and groups who have no one else to point to as excuses for their own inaction. This has led him to spend the majority of his time helping executive teams and Boards make the tough decisions required to grow their businesses in a complex and unpredictable economic environment. However, his deepest personal passion is to help people discover the courage he believes they all possess—and then inspire them to act on it.
