The Future Begins With Z: Finding, Keeping and Leading Generation Z on Your Team

Just when organizations grew accustomed to the Millennials, a new generation has emerged: Generation Z, your youngest team members. They bring with them a wealth of value—but too often, older managers cannot get past how different they are. Three out of four managers say they are the toughest generation to lead on a team. But what if your biggest challenge could become your greatest solution? What if you could turn your frustration into fascination with these young team members? This session is about how to engage them, retain them and prepare them for leadership. Tim explains the “Peter Pan Paradox” and then explores some best practices and innovative ideas for getting the most out of these young staff.

Leading Multiple Generations

“Mind the Gap” is a common phrase used when boarding trains. But there is a huge gap that many workplaces struggle to close: it’s the generation gap. Boomer and Xer managers differ from Gen Z team members. Today’s workplace has four to five generations working together, and too often, we collide instead of collaborate. Older generations struggle to connect with younger ones, and vice versa. Too often we stereotype, taking mental shortcuts with young or old teammates. This event explores the characteristics of each generation at work today and how to leverage each of their strengths to be your competitive advantage. Based on Tim’s book on the subject, the session offers practical strategies to bring out the best in each generation.

8 Paradoxes of Uncommon Leadership Book

Since the pandemic, a new kind of employee has emerged. They are savvy, educated, socially aware and bring higher expectations of leaders than a generation ago. Today’s worker requires leaders to practice social and emotional intelligence, which differentiates them from the rest. They balance paradoxical traits that enable them to connect with people: they’re both confident and humble, stubborn and open-minded, visible and invisible. This session reveals eight paradoxes top leaders leverage on teams, complete with case studies and applications.

Adjusting the Sails - The Art of Leading Change

The world’s most successful organizations are constantly adapting to change. And the best ones lead that change. Much like a sailor harnesses contrary winds to take the ship to the desired destination, effective staff and leaders flex and plan accordingly. They capitalize on current realities. In this session, Tim unpacks five vital secrets for effective change and principles to guide the process. He will ignite discussion that your team can leverage repeatedly in order to be ready for the shifting cultural headwinds we face each year.

Accompanying Book - "Marching Off the Map"

Building Emotionally Intelligent Teams

As AI plays a larger role in the workplace, the greatest differentiator team members can build is their emotional intelligence. Self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management are ingredients no smart technology can duplicate. This session not only illustrates the importance of cultivating a high EQ but offers strategies to do so. It’s loaded with practical ideas to deepen your team’s interpersonal skills with customers and each other.
