If you’ve had an encounter with a millennial in the workplace that has left you speechless or frustrated – this program is for you!
There’s a madness in the workplace – 4 generations – unchartered territory – emotions get intense.
Research indicates that people communicate based on their generational backgrounds. Each generation has distinct attitudes, behaviors, expectations, habits and motivational buttons.
Those who thrive during the coming change - as a huge population of Millennials moves in and millions of Boomers move out - will be the ones who keep learning, stay flexible, and maintain a sense of humor.
The 34th Annual American Association of Small Business Development Centers (asbdc-us.org) was held recently in Dallas, TX. The SBDC Network helps Americans start, run and grow their own businesses. The last session of the conference featured Monica speaking on Millennial Madness – and the audience LOVED it!
