GENERATIONAL SMASH-UPS: CREATING YOUR STRATEGY TO PREVENT GENERATIONAL COLLISIONS.
Create your strategy to prevent generational smash-ups. Lacking a strategy your costs and frustration to improve workplace performance and/or customer loyalty among multiple generations will increase. Observe and pick out the common experiences and shared values of four generations and debate the differences between them. Discover how different values rub friction points among generations and decide how handle them pro-actively. Take specific, measurable actions within 72 hours of this session to reduce the wrangling between age groups. You and the entire audience will have the opportunity to provide more than 63% of session's dialog. This performance will make you the company idol as you:
(1) Watch 40 plus years of history in 4.5 minutes,
(2) Discover generational friction points, and
(3) Use crayons, a music video, jigsaw puzzles, and a game called "35" in a PowerPoint free zone to create your strategy to prevent collisions in the workplace.

Are you a "seasoned mature, baby boomer, Gen-X or a Millennial" generation member? It's about your generation's common values formed by shared experiences than just a birth year. Download the assessment test to find out where you fit in. The other documents are for additional education on this generational topic. I suggest download first to your computer desktop, then open with appropriate software [Excel, Word, Internet Explorer, etc.]
