Mike Sipple, Jr. is known for his 20 years of experience at Centennial; a prominent national-boutique executive and talent search firm. He joins us this week to discuss executive recruiting and how leadership has changed in this always-connected world. We also talk about corporate responsibility and how they play a role in the startup ecosystem. Mike explains how smart leaders embrace the entrepreneurial bug in their most innovative employees and how he suggests they nurture and incubate great ideas.

In late 2017, Mike and his team launched a new organization to further support their clients. The Talent Magnet Institute® is a global leadership development platform and consultancy – helping leaders and organizations in, “Becoming A Talent Magnet™, a propriety leadership development system, and certification process.

Mike also hosts the Talent Magnet Institute podcast, which has been downloaded more than 48,000 times by leaders from 80 different countries.  The Talent Magnet Institute podcast boldly tackles the toughest issues leaders face daily:  from optimizing teams, building inclusive and equitable cultures, and empowering others to the loneliness and fatigue unique to those at the top of the org chart. Leaders and boards turn to Mike for his experience-based insights on hiring, succession planning, strategy alignment, talent development, and how to build a ‘talent magnet’ culture.  

Mike is a passionate advocate of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI & B).  He serves on the board of directors for the African-American Chamber of Commerce and has forged partnerships with the Urban League, The Weekly Memo, and other organizations committed to DEI & B. Mike and his wife of 17 years live in Villa Hills, their son Jacob attends Beechwood, and their daughter Abby and Ethan attend River Ridge Elementary. On weekends the Sipple’s can be found around the region on basketball courts or baseball fields.
