Lisa’s Generation Relations Blog

Hi All!

Woohoo! My new book, Millennials Into Leadership, is now out and available on Amazon! If you’re a Millennial (Gen Y) college student or employee, seeking a solid book on how to be an effective, respected young leader at work, then this is the book for you. And if you are a parent, employer, or relative looking for a great holiday gift for the young adult in your life, check it out!

Here is the announcement press release that is going out tomorrow:

Knowledgeable companies understand that the combination of Boomers hitting retirement age, and Gen X being a small generation, means Generation Y (aka Millennial) employees will need to move up into leadership roles sooner than generations before them did. To address this growing trend, Lisa Orrell released her second book on Amazon, “Millennials Into Leadership”, to educate these Millennial employees on how to be effective young leaders quickly in the workforce.

“Lisa Orrell is a foremost authority on Millennials. She’s been educating employers about them (us!) for years and now also focuses on energizing our young generation directly – to be the leaders we all know we can be,” says Millennial Heather Huhman, Founder & President of ComeRecommended.com. “Lisa’s information-packed new book, Millennials Into Leadership, will prompt young professionals to refer to it again and again for more nuggets of wisdom to excel in their careers.”

“Many companies simply move a 20-something employee into a management role, requiring leadership skills, but don’t provide any leadership training, and this causes many young managers to struggle,” explains Lisa Orrell, the book’s author, speaker, and professional Leadership Coach. “Lack of experience, lack of training, and (sometimes) lack of maturity, are not an ideal combination. Many young managers that I personally coach have little knowledge of even the most basic leadership principles, and this quickly affects their team’s moral and productivity. This is why I wrote my new book, and it’s also why companies and colleges hire me to conduct leadership seminars and keynotes for their Millennials.”

Organizations that have hired Lisa for her various keynotes, seminars and/or consulting services, include (partial list): Pepsi, HR Academy of Brazil, Paul Mitchell Systems, Cisco, Brocade, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, ISP Sports, Crowe Horwath LLC, Heald College, and USC’s Marshall School of Business.

And based on Lisa’s vast expertise on generational dynamics in the workforce, and leadership education for Millennials, she has been a guest on ABC, MSNBC, and NPR. She has also been interviewed by countless national and international print and online media, including (partial list): The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report, Monster.com, HR.com, FoxBusiness.com, BNET.com, China’s HerWorld Magazine, Magna Publications Trainee Guides for Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Northwestern Business Review, CareerBuilder.com, and Human Resource Executive.
