Bridging the Generation Gaps in Business

Communicating across the generations can be almost as difficult as speaking different languages. Each era owns different values, and each wishes to make their mark. This is natural and highly desirable as change is essential for growth. The difficulties arise when the collaboration necessities of mutual acceptance and respect are not given top priority. Understanding why each generation behaves the way they do is paramount to creating effective work place environments.

Confident Reinvention

Not very long ago, it was common for individuals to stay in one job, career, and profession for many years; the idea of charting a completely new course was inconceivable for most people. Today, the idea of remaining in one job for life borders on laughable, and for many, impossible. Not only do we change jobs regularly, we actually change careers, enjoy taking on new challenges and understanding how to leverage past learning into new opportunities.

Today's world runs at high speed, and to be successful we must be confident that we can reinvent ourselves not only effectively, but charismatically.

Confidence: Where can I git me some o' dat?

Today's world of continual reinvention takes confidence, and for a great many, the benefits of creating a new situation is outweighed by the fear of the unknown. Confidence can be elusive. Where is confidence born? What causes it to erode? Does confidence in one area breed confidence in others or must be recreated for different situations? Can confidence be created or destroyed?

Speak to Engage, Speak to Succeed.

Talking does not equal speaking. You may have the most brilliant idea ever heard, but what good is it if you cannot share it so others can understand? When every word you say either costs you money or makes you money, creating and delivering presentations that get the big Yes is an essential skill.

The TLC Principal of Reinvention

Do you have the confidence to renovate and transform your personal, professional, or corporate realities? By understanding and adopting the TLC Principal of Reinvention, you and your associates will learn to become transformation leaders and keep your lives, your careers, and your businesses on the path to continued success.

Speaking of Business: Closing the Branding Loop

Full day

We spend considerable time, effort, and money to create a compny brand.

Learn how to use your voice and words to accurately represent your company.

You Want What? Bridging the Generation Gaps in Business

4 hours

Workplace demands of Generation Y and Z, completely reasonable to them, may seem outrageous to Gen X and the Boomers, and vice versa. By understanding the causes of the changing values and workplace expectations, leaders of all ages can gain insight into what their teams want and need to fulfill their roles within 21st century business.

The Complete Speaker: Speech BOP

4 hours

Body Language, Oral and Verbal Skills, and Performance Acumen (BOP) change the way listeners hear, understand, and accept our message. Even more important is that for the audience to feel engaged, learn, and benefit from a presentation, the speaker must ensure all of these skills are aligned. Participants will actively learn a variety of techniques to create presentations that consistently persuade, inform, and illuminate.
