For the first time in history, we have five generations in the workplace and marketplace. Not one generation is stagnant, so staying on top of how their generational personalities play out can be challenging.

You may think you know the generations, but the Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials are carving out new territory as they evolve. And here comes the latest twist – the arrival of Generation Z. Just when you think you’ve bridged all the gaps, it’s time to learn what happens when the generations still collide at:

• Workplace: recruiting, retaining, communicating.
• Marketplace: customer service and sales.
• Giving: how to attract and retain donor and volunteers.

This energizing, fresh, informative and funny update on the generations will help you identify the gaps creating mayhem in your workplace and marketplace, apply smart solutions to help you navigate multi-generational minefields, and ultimately, look at the generations in a whole new way.

In “Take 5”, you will learn:

• Where all the generations are in their careers today.
• What each generation needs to be successful.
• What it takes to connect with each generation of consumers.
• What generations are more similar? Different?

If only we could group our younger workforce and marketplace into one generation – life would be easier. In many ways, leaders have been operating that way and have not learned from the past.

History is repeating itself…flashback to the 1990s when Generation X was entering the workplace. Most thought the Xers would be just like the Baby Boomers and tried to treat them that way. KABOOM! Generational collisions were everywhere.

In today’s workplace and marketplace, too many are assuming everyone under 30 is the same – or are all Millennials.  Gen Z and Millennials are nothing alike!

“Millennials vs. Generation Z” will:

• Unpack the key differences between Millennials and Gen Z.
• Showcase how Boomers and Xers different parenting styles had radically different results.
• Explain how Millennials’ collaborative nature and Gen Z’s competitive drive plays out at work.
• Identify what leaders need to know to manage each unique generation.
• Highlight areas the generations will click and clash.
