Are you a Millennial in the Workplace? Do you Currently Work with/or Manage Millennials?
Communication is relationships. Today we have multigenerational communication gaps; our understanding of how to relate to one another is underdeveloped. In the next few years, Millennials or Gen Y will make up about 75% of our workforce, and yet our understanding of the millennial mind and heart is murky.
In this interactive presentation based on science, we will decode the mind and heart of the Millennial. You will discover how you, and others, think, feel and act, and why you make the choices and decisions you do. You will learn how to immediately identify and address the challenges that disrupt productive communication and negatively impact productivity and profitability.
National Speakers, Bestselling Authors, Radio Show Hosts, and Licensed, Professionally Certified New Life Story Coaches, Poppy and Geoff, offer an “infotaining” experience that you can immediately implement in your communication, so you can have a positive ROI in all of your relationships
