Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I was working in Puerto Rico the past week, delivering two programs for a great organization. My wife joined me since it was our anniversary (Happy Anniversary Honey!). She never asks to go to Des Moines or Cleveland, but Puerto Rico…she’s going. We had a great time and everyone there treated my wife and I exceptionally well. Also, during my second session I ask people to identify pictures and since we were at a casino I rewarded a correct answer with a $1 chip. It’s a fun way to get people involved, especially if you’re at a casino.
Well, later that day as I was saying good bye to several people I had met at the conference, one excited gentleman grabbed my hand and said, “You’re just the guy I was looking for!” I immediately thought he had too much to drink as he was waaaaaaay too excited to talk to me. Turns out, he won a $1 chip during the presentation and he cashed it in, put the cash in a slot machine and won $480.00!
The reason I there was to give two keynotes: Getting a Grip on Negativity and a newer topic that is also a training program:
Generation Y: The What’s and How’s of the New Workforce – Full Day (6.5 hour) or Half Day (3 hour) Training Program
Learn to manage young, smart and brash employees who may wear flip-flops to the office or listen to iPods at their desk. They seem to want to work, but they don’t want work to be their life. This informative and entertaining program explores the origins and reasoning of what shapes the newest members of the workforce combined with no-fluff research on how to raise your awareness of generational issues and create better relationships with younger employees.
Suggested Agenda
- Who is this new generation and how did they get this way
- The number one thing the dot com generation wants: How to keep them interested and learning
- The under 30 workforce, generation X on steroids: High-performance, high-maintenance, and a strong sense of self worth
- Feedback and recognition: Time saving ways to meet the demands of people used to getting constant feedback.
- Understanding a generation who prefers virtual problem solving
- Inspiring company loyalty when employees are naturally skeptical
- Creating an appealing environment: Promoting creativity and independent thinking
- How to guide employees who don’t know how to shut up
- How the younger generation deals with change
- Successfully building better relationships that create a higher level of service: Making sure customers benefit from our efforts.
