gender issues ?

implications for the workplace and the wider community
. Incorporates changing attitudes to marriage, parenting,
job mobility, and redefining "success". Incorporates
the Generation X and Y phenomenon . |
|
Why Xs are grumpy; Boomers think they're cool and
Ys resent them both.
An overview of the abundant research on Generation Y,
X, Baby Boomers and Veterans from the female boomer's
perspective. How this impacts on marketing, employment
- tailored to the interests of the groups. A light hearted
yet highly informative session that calls for some radical
changes to the way we educate, employ, engage and sell
to people.

Recent presentations have included:
|
The Swans and Skunks of Learning and Development
Covers how to embed learning and development in organizations
and what are the best and worst practices in regard to
learning itself. The Swans are examples of best and the
Skunks are the worst. One skunk that gets special attention
is the overuse of data projectors. |
|
Selling HR to the Board
Tailored for an HR audience, this is an irreverent moment
of reflection for the HR community as to why this is
still a topic at conferences at all. It covers lack
of consistent identity across the function, poor perception
of HR by other functions, pressures on HR and what can
be done to improve the image.
|
|
High Fliers - why so many young stars implode their
careers
Especially interesting to emerging leaders and middle
managers or those responsible for their development, it
covers the often difficult transition from operational
manager or specialist to strategic senior manager. Explores
the different competencies required for the transition
and gives many examples of able leaders who couldn't make
the adjustment to more senior (or just plain different)
roles. Uses military and corporate examples for added
interest. |
