Learn Practical Strategies to Motivate Your Generation X & Y Employees! For Presidents, Senior Executives, Managers and Human Resource Professionals.

Generations X and Y are like no other generation before them – wealthy, powerful, and at times they may seem demanding and unmotivated. Many workplace managers are experiencing these traits firsthand, as they struggle with a new wave of employees that hold an ‘attitude of entitlement’ from the first day. They may make demands, show up late, blame others, quit if it gets too difficult, and are very quick to ask about promotions and time off. Their attitude and seemingly poor work ethic puzzles and frustrates leaders who were raised in an era of respect and working for rewards.  Because few leaders understand what is needed to motivate this group effectively, they tend to rotate through a high turnover of personnel, especially the Gen- Y’s. In this presentation, Dr. Karyn will show you practical strategies to effectively manage and motivate both Generations X and Y.

In this 75 minute inspirational & practical keynote,
you will learn: 

o What is the cultural DNA of Generations X and Y
o How do they think, feel and act (and what this means to you!)
o What makes these generations unique from other generations.
o What is the ‘attitude of entitlement’ and its origin
o How this ‘attitude’ impacts an employee’s self-esteem, communication style, interaction with clients and their overall performance
o How to connect and communicate effectively with Generations X and Y
o The keys to motivating Generations X and Y
o How to create a successful work environment without giving away too much power
o Practical strategies for managers to make it work with Generations X and Y

Let Dr. Karyn show you how to adapt your managing style so you can get the most out of your team!!


"Dr. Karyn’s keynote was the highlight of our 3 day business conference! Understanding generational insight is both incredibly difficult and powerfully important. It's often easy for us to become judgmental about what we like or don't like about those insights, but the essence of Dr. Karyn’s presentation is how we must move outside those judgments to simply understand the reality of relating to these progressive generations in optimal ways - as employers and marketers!”
Michael H. McCain, Chief Executive Officer, Maple Leaf Foods Inc.
