Selling to Millennials/Empowering Millennial Employees (Pitch for Executive Audiences)

Thriving in a Multi-Generational Workplace: Amplify your ROI from engaging your Gen Z/Millennial employees and learn how to inspire collaboration in a Multi-Generational workforce

There are currently 4 different generation's of employee in today's workplace, each with their own unique perspectives and skill-sets. Learn how to encourage collaboration and take advantage of your organization's age diversity. Did you know that while 47% of young professionals want to stay at the first company they work at for 5-10 years, a majority last less than 2? Companies are dedicating tens of thousands of dollars of resources into someone who takes those skills to another company before you get a return on your investment. Over 80 million strong, Millennials also represent the largest and fastest growing target customer segment in the market. I am an experienced corporate leader and generational dynamics expert, who happens to understand what it is like to be a Millennial firsthand. Instead of basing my advice on reading research reports, my insights come from being in the trenches, working for nearly a decade at a Fortune 10 company and rising to become one of the youngest ever to serve as Regional Vice President. Through speaking, consulting and coaching I work with executive leaders and managers to understand Millennials in order to better attract & engage Millennial customers and empower & retain Millennial employees, helping companies preserve their top young talent and delight their biggest future customer base. 

Attendee Benefits & Takeaways:

• Understand WHO members of the youngest generations are (Millennials & Gen Z) and how did they get that way?

• Gain insights into how to empower your young workforce and what to avoid

• Learn how to improve the return on investment (ROI) you get from the resources put into young employees, improving retention and bolstering succession planning

• Make your organization's product/service irresistible to the next generation of customers

• Get a deeper understanding of how you can revamp your employee engagement methods to appeal to and leverage the best traits of employees from all generations

Millennial Career Success (Pitch for Millennial Audiences & Young Managers)

Do you ever worry about the future of your organization and what will happen to your legacy when the next generation takes over? Many leaders today are struggling with preparing the Millennial generation to carry the torch, since we think so differently and have very contrasting views on careers and work than wiser generations. I am an experienced corporate leader and generational dynamics expert, who also happens to be a Millennial that helps companies train their Millennial employees to be the next generation of leaders in their organizations. Instead of basing my advice on reading research reports, my insights come from being in the trenches, working for nearly a decade at a Fortune 10 company and rising to become one of the youngest ever to serve as Regional Vice President. Through speaking, consulting and coaching I work directly with your top young talent to increase retention, transition them into leadership roles and help them build the foundation for a successful career at your company.
