Keynote: Business Most Unusual: "The Seismic Generational Shifts that are Changing Everything"

Ellen Schulz,  Next Level Results, Inc.

This is cutting edge, up to the minute research on the demographic influence of Traditionals, Boomers, X’rs, and Y’s on: social attitudes, product innovation, safety, workplace culture, and leadership. 

Never before in history have four generations so different from each other lived and worked side by side. These differences can be mined for combined strengths or polarize the population into “them” and “us.” You will understand how we have evolved as distinct clans (by age group) within the tribe of global humanity. Knowing how to relate and capitalize on the strengths of each clan will give you a distinct advantage in your work, your family, and community. 

This session is insightful and entertaining. It invites all of us to welcome the diversity ranging from grandpa to dude.

Program Objectives (what knowledge/skills will attendees walk away with?):

1. Perspective of each generation;  world view, needs, and desires

2. Opinions, views, and clashes with the other generations

3. Leadership strategies and practical applications to connect and get results.

Practical outcome:  Understanding and Strategies

Heart outcome:  Compassion and empathy for the human condition during times of constant change.
