Motivating Generations X & Y
They demand "X-tra" attention and they want to know "Y" they should give you their loyalty. One reason for so much workplace conflict is 3 generations jockeying for position in one tiny “universe.” The workforce is changing and so is the way we motivate.

Straight from the Heart: Personal Recognition is Powerful Stuff!
Studies have shown that sincere, specific and timely recognition given by a supervisor or peer is one of the most powerful motivators to a diverse workforce. "Clueless" organizations are paying the price in defections. For instance, an average company loses half its employees every 4 years. The cost to replace and retrain ranges from $10k to $50k per employee. Even more chilling: by 2008 there will be 161 million jobs and only 154 million people to fill them.

" Can We Talk?" — Effective communication starts with respect.
Whether you manage people or are working in a stressful environment, this workshop will give you the answers to some of these tough questions.

How do I get my message across to someone who just doesn't get it?
How do I get someone to listen to me?
How do I confront someone who dominates the conversation?
How do I communicate something the other party doesn't want to hear?
