50, NOT DEAD EPISODE 23: Beth Henkes

Beth Henkes is the Founder and CEO of The Idea Hound and truly brings order to disorder with expected organization and assessment skills but adds creative flair that allows her to achieve unexpected success in challenging circumstances. 
 
 As a former Production Stage Manager in live production, she is an expert in crisis management, able to handle multiple moving parts and tight deadlines with ease. Her years in service spaces gives her exceptional customer experience prowess, she builds teams that provide views into all parts of a process to solve problems and create improvements while emphasizing unheard voices.
 
 So it is extremely frustrating to hear this energetic, creative, smart powerhouse share her tally of having 28 interviews from 12 referrals spanning 16 companies resulting in zero offers over a 12 month period.  How can that possibly be? 
 
 If that's not ageism, what is?
 
 Beth is the kind of person you could put in anywhere and she would kindly and firmly create order and results.  I would recommend her in a heartbeat.  I'd hire her if I had a company that wasn't a one woman show!  She shares her wisdom and wit in this interview.  Enjoy the ride.
