We live in an agile world and we need to be agile if we are to thrive in it. Whether you're applying it to your business, marketing or any other endeavor, agility allows you to be scientific and methodical about upping your game and achieving strategic pivots in a shorter amount of time. This is a very timely conversation to make as we make our way through this terrible social experiment that is COVID-19. Join Melanie Parish and Greg Kihlstrom as they talk about this in this interview. Greg is the founder of CareerGig which is, in itself, an agile freelancing platform that uniquely eliminates the traditional tradeoff between career flexibility and employment benefits that freelancers traditionally have to make – something that many potential freelancers and companies can benefit from as we all go through a radical shift in the way we hire employees.

We chat with Greg on what it takes to be a more agile business, the current state of the balance of power between brands and consumers and how this has affected the customer experience, as well as what great leadership and the future of work looks like as we rebuild businesses and the economy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/principlesandleadership/message

Today we're going to talk about the freelance economy and why it's important that freelancers, contractors and the self-employed protect themselves and their future with insurance, retirement, and other methods of planning ahead. Many freelancers are passionate about what they do and become independents so they can focus more of their time on what they love doing. They often find, however, that they need to learn about a wide variety of things such as accounting to send clients invoices, project management, and many other skills. This is in addition to ensuring that they are planning for their futures and the well-being of their families. Insurance, retirement, and other methods of planning are often taken for granted by full-time employees, but freelancers have to source and purchase this on their own. This can be prohibitive from both a time and cost perspective. To help me discuss this topic, and offer some potential solutions, I'd like to welcome Steve Blair, who is part of the team at CareerGig, where he is VP of Benefits.

Today we're going to talk about the freelance economy and why it's important that companies use verification and assessments to reduce risk and hire the best possible candidates. One of the great things about the Web is that it is an often open place where people can participate from different locations and backgrounds. While in many cases this works well, companies can often have a hard time differentiating between freelancers and contractors who claim to have certain credentials and skills. How do you verify and certify that the person you are hiring is an expert at what they do before it's too late? To help me discuss this topic, and offer some potential solutions, I'd like to welcome Kelly Painter, who is part of the team at CareerGig, where she is VP of Sales.
