Have you ever had these thoughts? “Oh why can’t they learn to use the computer?” or “You should stay until the job is finished,” or “Being on time means five to ten minutes early, not late!” or “ Why would anyone give out their cell phone number to be bothered at all hours of the day?” You love the variety of people you work with and the variety of tasks you perform each day but sometimes they can all drive you crazy! Some of this craziness comes from the way that the four different generations clash in today’s schools and workplaces. Each generation wants to perform their best work and yet their beliefs and values can differ greatly in how they approach their work. This workshop promotes a light-hearted yet thought-provoking look at the benefits of a mixed-generation workforce and examines how age affects all of us in the workplace.

During this highly-interactive keynote you will:

• Assess your current knowledge of the four generations in today’s workforce: Traditionalists, Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y.
• Learn the facts and events that shaped each of these generations’ way of viewing the world of work.
• Discover six to ten tips to improve your communication with each generation.
• Develop a generational action plan that you will be able to use immediately when trying to bridge the generational communication gaps that exist at your workplace.
