I recently listened to an interview with Vic Conant of Nightingale-Conant talking about the shift in their program sales.

This “Brand You” trend has been going on for more than a decade, posing a significant exposure to today’s companies. As the workforce ages and changes, we’re going to have less available talent than ever. Given future economic uncertainty, more and more of the available talent will opt out to work for themselves.
