Work sucks has been the common refrain for far too long, with many companies moving forward on improving their culture at a snail's pace. This is in contrast to the future-focused and cutting-edge tools that have revolutionized how we communicate and collaborate. The result: organizational strategies in dire need of rethinking and revision, and it's no wonder that so many employees report feeling those dread Sunday scaries.

This presentation asks tough questions around the concept of "work ethic," the importance of building trust, clarifying communication methods, and investing in connections.

The idea is to challenge preconceived notions about how to foster a healthy company culture, no matter your level or role. This presentation gives you what you need in order to create change within your sphere of influence and help create a workplace that not only doesn't suck: it's awesome

ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:

— Mindset-shifting insights on the future of work and how to stay competitive in a continuously shifting landscape

— Best-practices from organizations with proven awesome workplaces, and how you can adapt their strtegies for your workplace

— A fresh perspective on work culture that challenges the way things “should be done”

There’s no question that each generation brings a unique perspective into the workplace. Whether it’s embracing emojis in communication, asking for efficiency in meetings, establishing clarity through hierarchy, or demanding more flexible schedules… every generation has left its mark. Unfortunately, lack of generational awareness can make it easy for workplace dynamics to sour. Rather than seeking to understand, we start to point fingers. Communication and collaboration suffer, engagement dips, and leaders find themselves asking “what can I do to keep everyone happy?”

This presentation takes a closer look at each generation to create a deeper understanding of why we all behave the way we do. Through this lens, it offers implementable strategies to improve connection across generational divides.

ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:

— Decrypting every generation’s formative years, and how those years inform distinct generational identities

— Identifying the potential areas for disconnect across generations

— Spotlight on how the newest generation, Gen Z, will shake up the workplace

The tides have changed, and so have perceptions about what makes for a good job, a good organization, and a good leadership methodology. So why is it that so many leaders continue to operate with a workplace ethos that just isn’t resonating in the current work world?

Those that aren’t adapting to the new rules of engagement are facing an environment rife with frustrated employees, high attrition rates, and broken lines of communication… not to mention a pipeline of talent that will quickly dry up without much-needed change. This keynote makes the case for why a new leadership mindset is critical, and explores how the best in the biz are embracing transformation.
