I presented “Working and Managing Across Generations”  to the National Association of Purchasing Managers, Buffalo NY (NAPM Buffalo).

Below is the description;

Working and Managing Across Generations: From Traditionalist to Generation Y and Beyond…

Outcomes-

This session engages participants to:

  • Explore generational differences and their assumptions to the access of information in order to effectively manage tasks, teams and people.
  • Determine how different generations view teamwork.
  • Develop and hone leadership techniques to effectively manage Traditionalists, Baby-Boomers, Gen. X, and Millennials.
  • Develop skills for communicating across generational divides.
  • Explore technology and its application to work and social interactions.
  • Realize that as generations enter and leave the workforce, competency and respect for people are what drives successful organizations, teams and people.

Managing and working with generational diversity is a significant dimension of what is needed for success in the workplace today. The challenge is getting people to understand one another by exploring differences in expectations, assumptions and language use; then using this knowledge to increase effectiveness of people, teams and organizations.

Bridging the age gap to build respectful working relationships can mean the difference between a work environment that clicks and one that clashes.

Managing and Working with generational diversity is a significant dimension of what is needed for success in the workplace today. The challenge is getting people to understand one another by exploring differences in expectations, assumptions and language use; then using this knowledge to increase effectiveness of people, teams and organizations.

Bridging the age gap to build respectful working relationships can mean the difference between a work environment that clicks and one that clashes.

We offer an interactive workshop that engages participants who identify with different generations in conversation with one another.

The session invites generational groups to identify what’s important in their life experience, highlight key events and cultural factors that influence their generational perspective and share expectations and assumptions.

The lessons that follow allow each generation to explore similarities and differences, identify potential areas of misunderstanding and think together about ways to work together effectively.

People show up and learn from experience. They will be involved in team building activities, reflection, and task-focused simulations. Before, During, and after each of these activities the experiential learning cycle will be examined and each person and the group will determine what was learned and how to apply it.

It covers the necessity and the how to.

Setting effective goals with camp staff can make or break your programs.

Are you setting goals for your staff?

Is your manager at camp setting goals for you?

If neither of these are yeses then how is your staff and you being developed to create a focus of success for the campers involved in your programs? Don’t say “we all just know what to do” if that is the case then you are doing a disservice to the campers and the camp. to read more…
