235: How Age Impacts Consultants and Applicants

Having spent a large part of my consulting career in my twenties, since I joined the Firm just shy of my 22 birthday, I personally know what it was like to successfully manage a young image.

I recall several times managing teams where the youngest person was older than myself. Those kinds of situations invariably raise challenges in controlling one's image and client perceptions. In this podcast, I outline 7 things which can be done to control ageism, and begin by defining how younger and older consultants differ in the signals they send.
