1. Embracing A Wellness Lifestyle

Being well is not the absence of disease. It is the flourishing of the whole being – mind, body and spirit. Do you wonder why you keep reading health books, joining gyms or diet clubs and just don’t seem to make long term progress? It isn’t enough to want health and wellness or know what to do. You must fully embrace a wellness lifestyle to truly shift your well-being.

3.  Managing Cross Generations

Review the differences between BabyBoomer, Gen-X, and Gen Y/ Millennials generations and the impact on the workplace.  Move beyond the stereotypical assumptions about generations and on to a practical, real-world approach. 

 As emerging Millennial employees become a larger component of the workforce, corporations must consider strategies for attracting this employee, transferring knowledge from the Baby Boomers, and revising the traditional work-life paradigms.  How can leaders prepare for this challenge and construct work life propositions that leverage the social networking expertise, tech-saaviness, and connectivity of this newest generation in the workforce? 

Key Benefits:

Examine central issues and challenges of cross-generational collaboration from a personal stand-point and a corporate vantage-point

Review key corporate culture shifts required to engage all generations in the workforce.

Discuss key leadership strategies to retain, develop and fully leverage Millennials 

Review generational differences in expectations, motivations, experiences, and use of technology
