Keynotes. Talks. Wisdom For Everyone.
HERE’S HOW WE CAN BENEFIT YOUR TEAM
GENERATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE WORKPLACE
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
how DOES EACH GENERATION REALLY think?
Are they as committed as you are?
Are they just too young / you just too old?
Are they just too old / you just too young?
How well do you really work together?
The reality is that workers change between their 20s and their 60s, the generations themselves exhibit interesting differences, and it is perfectly natural to question the work ethic or resistance to change exhibited by those who are not like you. These talks focus on differences and similarities between the generations, and identify tools and techniques to help us improve our working relationships.
The two SHRM 2019 presentations are:
Mentoring Millennials: MicroFeedback, Reverse and Group Mentoring, and .....
Older generations grew up with long and ineffective one-on-one feedback sessions. Senior leaders told newcomers how it was, often to blank stares. Today is different: the best mentors specialize in brief and pointed conversations, focusing on one small item. In this session we'll see how all generations can work together. We'll explore giving microfeedback to millennials, reverse feedback to Boomers and describe group mentoring with the Xers, allowing us to grow together and succeed.
This session helps you:
Understand the differences between the generations
Explore the changing importance of mentoring in the modern organization
Learn what microfeedback is, and how to deliver it
Learn what reverse mentoring is and how to deliver it
Learn how group mentoring works

So You Think You Know Millennials: Think Again
Are there differences between the generations, or is it just YOUR age? If “they” annoy you, think of how you thought (or will think) at THEIR age. We’ll take an amusing look at the similarities and differences between each generation (Boomers, GenX, Millennials), and study differences between age groups (25-35, 35-42, 42-50, etc.). The conclusion: history repeats itself; or, it’s up to each of us to work more effectively with members of other generations.
Attendees will improve their ability to work well with members of other generations, making the entire workplace more effective. They will learn:
To understand age similarities/differences and generation similarities/differences, and how they impact organization effectiveness
To break down generational stereotypes by listening to audience members describe who they are as members of these groups and to feel firsthand what that means
To observe that working within and through these differences is important in creating a vibrant organization and an engaged workforce
To create action steps for the organization to move forward in its quest for excellence
--------------------------------
Finally, we are pleased to present our generational model, the product of nearly 40 years of research. Many people utilize a model showing only generational differences; others show how we change as we age. Our model overlays the generational model on a model of age differences, to explain how we truly behave.
Book now to discuss relevant details in person. We're excited to hear your unique circumstances and to plan how this keynote can be tailored for your best takeaways.
Helping You Lead: Understand Your DiSC Style to Understand what You Do Best, and How Your Team Works Most Effectively
YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE
WHO ARE YOU?
Discover and support your Behavioral Style In Leadership
What works?
What doesn’t work?
What do others think of you and your leadership style?
How can you show others best ways to work with you?
This is a journey to discover your own leadership style(s). This interactive presentation, including an abbreviated leadership evaluation, will keep you on your toes, allowing you to collect valuable leadership wisdom for yourself and bring it back to your organizations. Using the DiSC, a behavioral assessment tool, you will learn to emphasize your strengths, and how to be at your best with people who are different from you.
With the DiSC® you will learn about four basic behavioral styles:
D, Dominance. Active, assertive, take direct action
i, influence. People focused, friendly, optimistic
S, Steady. Calm, supportive, cooperative
C, Conscientiousness. Detailed, accurate, complete
As we conclude: How do you take what you know about yourself and improve your own capabilities, communication, and leadership?

THE 4 DIRECTIONS OF LEADERSHIP
ONE LEADER. FOUR GENERATIONS.
A Mindful Meditation On Changing With Leadership
Wisdom can be found in all cultures and practices. The Native American medicine wheel looks at how we change throughout the seasons of our lifetime, as we begin our childhood in the east and eventually become a (presumably) wise elder in the north. Today the GI Joe generation is departing; the Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials welcome unnamed successors who will bring with them joys and challenges that cannot be imagined. Throughout this are the questions and worries of every leader, striving for excellence. How do I take my own particular pattern of behaviors and skills, and adapt these to the ever changing needs of my workforce? We hope to help explore answers to these questions, and questions for those answers, in a somewhat light and perhaps meditative dinner hour.
BALANCE AT WORK
HOW BEST CAN YOU ACHIEVE IT?
Captain Your Ship: CREATE Greater Personal Ownership AND BALANCE IN Your Work Life
Do you go to work alone?
Do your heart and soul connect your passions and creativity to your paid experiences?
Are you successfully balancing your life?
Have you lost the ability to align your needs with your organization's needs?
How can you slow down, change direction, and increase your effectiveness?
In this session you'll gain insight into what you can best do for the Captain of Your Ship. You'll learn more about yourself, achieving new ways of looking at your work, and discover a different conception of what you are doing, of what a career truly means to you, and walk away with a more personal ownership of your own work life.
The Focus of this session: YOUR vision.
What do YOU need for yourself?

RIGHT BRAIN/LEFT BRAIN
DOES YOUR APPROACH STILL WORK? FIND YOUR WHOLE.
IMPROVE YOUR APPROACH FOR A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE AT WORK
How do we get stuck?
What can we do to move on?
Do you stay in your analytical, detailed left brain most of the time,
Do you remember to move to the more creative right?
This session provides thought provoking ideas on how we think and what we can do to improve our thought processes at work. Groundbreaking thought leaders, from Robert Pirsig and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to Dan Pink and A Whole New Mind will help us examine what really goes on inside our brain as we use it to perform different tasks. With humor and visuals, we'll take a look at how our brain functions, and play with different techniques to improve how we respond to daily tasks.
