The speed of change and innovation among devices and platforms is quickly making brands consider new options in how they present their content and services. Devices (smartphones, tablets, e-readers) and platforms (content, collaboration, social media) continue to diverge rapidly. However, there is also an increasing necessity for services and experiences to converge more decisively. Formerly an aspiration or distant vision, this new experience is a reality that is part of our daily lives.

I think this is undeserved. Pairing the ability to multitask and harness digital technology, millennials dream big, and that’s a good thing. At Siegel+Gale, we have high expectations, too. When these stars of the future join our team, it’s up to us to manage them to reach their full potential. What I've learned about effective leadership over the years applies to millennials in the same way it does to members of other generations.

It's the issue that has everyone in the UK talking—from influential customer groups such as Consumer Focus and Which? to Rosie Murray-West of The Telegraph, whose opinion piece on her laughable £1700 EDF three-month energy bill (it was revised to £341 after she confronted the company) reinforced the furor surrounding the 'complex and unfair' bills delivered by the 'big six' energy companies.The stalled economy has derailed the career plans of many 20-somethings who are out of work or underemployed.
