FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2016) - Janet Granger, digital coach and consultant, today announced the release of her new book, Digital Influence for Baby Boomers: Why you should care and yes you can do this! Published by California-based Waterside Productions, Digital Influence for Baby Boomers illustrates that digital influence is critical to those over age 50 who are not ready to retire and who want and need to stay current, employable and competitive in today's marketplace.
"The digital age is a big challenge for those that grew up in a world of traditional media," said Jeff Bullas, entrepreneur and internationally acclaimed marketing blogger. "All baby boomers should read this insightful book," said Bullas.
According to the Pew Research Center, there were approximately 45 million baby boomers in the workforce during the first quarter of 2015, the latest period for which data is available. Studies ranging from management consultants McKinsey&Company to the White House emphasize the importance of digital influence and the necessity for individuals in the workforce to stay relevant in today's fast-paced world of change.
"Understanding and embracing digital influence is critical to continued success in today's digital economy," said Granger. "People with digital influence are being sought out as employees, as marketers, as influencers. If you want to be viable in the workforce -- to continue growing your career, to find a new job or position, or to stay relevant in your current role -- you need to have 'digital savvy,'" concluded Granger.
