Generation

Technology
They’re fickle, media-savvy, highly-connected
and living on the cutting-edge of technology.
The Facebook generation knows it is in the
driver’s seat in the workforce these days.
Employers worldwide are scrambling to understand what makes this
unique generation tick. If your credit union thinks grooming your future
leadership is about placing stale ads in papers and using old-school
recruiting techniques, there’s a nasty shock in store. Leading edge
companies are harnessing and exploiting the powerful networking
forces in social media Web sites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter,
LinkedIn, Ning, gTalk, and YouTube to find and recruit the future
workforce. In his keynote presentation, Tod will walk us through the
mindfeild of challenges involved in this new world of talent management
and deliver invaluable insights into the future generation of workers:
where to find them, how to attract them, and, perhaps most importantly,
how to keep them engaged, motivated and fully productive.

The 90s are over, and tough times (that is,
normal times) are back. Winning and keeping
talented people has become one of the top
concerns of today’s managers and business
owners who are determined to weather the
turmoil and emerge with the strength to dominate their industry. How
can organizations create high levels of commitment and engagement?
With employees’ values shifting, how must leaders shift their thinking
and behavior? Dr. John Izzo offers powerful and practical ideas on
what managers can do to increase employee loyalty while responding
to changing expectations. By defining the new work ethic and what it
means for business, this visionary expert on engagement, retention and
corporate culture will help you understand:
Why baby boomers, generation Xers and the net generation view work
differently, and how new leadership strategies can bring out the best in
all three groups
• The fastest, most effective ways to encourage employee loyalty at
every level
• How to attract and keep the most talented employees by meeting the
six major expectations of the workforce
• How to build the bridges that will be crucial to your organization in
difficult times
• How to sustain employee engagement by making work more than just
a way to make a living
• How to develop trust through open communication.
Izzo challenges audiences to rediscover their values, reflect upon their
power to influence positive change, and reconnect with their personal
and professional vision. In every program he inspires the audience to
greater vision, challenges them with new insights, and leaves them with
practical things they can do to create the organization of the future.
Growing Somewhere: A
Life Long Investment in
Learning
Kelly Walker - Sponsored
by Concentra Financial
Some people invest in their days and nights
and DECIDE to live. Others coast and just live
out what seems to be a sentence. Some get
“hooked” on the adventure of creative living
and are a source of happiness and joy for
themselves and those around them. Others
inflict their gloom on their community. This two-part session will help
you explore ways to stay alive and well through the storms that human
living brings with it - from potential burnout to full blown bursts into
life. It is important to have models and stories of creative living that
help us grow fuller and fuller as we age.
Kelly Walker continues to inspire, inform and confront audiences
throughout North America with his fresh and authentic style of
presentation. He will lead our group from laughter to tears as he
explores with us the human dimensions of transition and change.
He is able to speak to the true issues that humans face since he has
experienced them personally. Also, as a former therapist, he has guided
thousands of people through their journeys.
