Lisa Orrell’s Summary

After 20 years of owning my award-winning marketing agency in Silicon Valley, I needed to shake things up a bit. So, although I still occasionally work with clients at M7, I now have 2 other consulting businesses that I actively run.

The Orrell Group: I'm known as The Generation Relations Expert, and author of the popular book, "Millennials Incorporated". This book has been Rated #1 in its genre on Amazon for consecutive months, and was named a 2009 finalist in ForeWord Magazine’s prestigious Book of the Year competition. And, my new book, "Millennials Into Leadership" will be published in November of 2009.

As The Generation Relations Expert, I'm an in-demand speaker hired by well-known organizations to educate their executive leaders and management teams on how to better recruit, manage and retain Millennial talent. And, I conduct seminars, workshops & keynotes that improve generation relations in the workforce, thus increasing team building, morale, productivity & retention.

I'm also a Professional Leadership & Career Coach for Millennial employees and entrepreneurs. I received my Coach Training through an intensive program accredited by the ICF.

Based on my expertise, I have appeared on ABC, MSNBC and NPR, and my expert commentary and articles have been featured in (partial list): The NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Human Resources Executive, FoxBusiness.com, BNET.com, Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, and China’s Her World magazine.

Lisa Orrell’s Education

San Jose State University

Bachelors , Advertising , 1982 — 1986

After having survived the recessions of 1989-1991 and 2000-2003, I now feel that I have earned a Masters Degree through the School of Reality & Hardknocks. Owning anything marketing-related during those 2 recessions was truly challenging. Other than my fondness for heroin, I came out of those downturns unscathed.
