Coaching and Engaging Millennials in the Workplace
Presented by: Danon Carter and Tamara Bond Beverly

By the year 2020 over 50% of the global workplace will be Millennials. With the growth of not just generational Millennials but those who consider themselves “millennial minded”, the workplace has to not only better prepare future leaders but also cultivate a cultural environment where all employees thrive and perform at a discretionary effort level on a daily basis. A different approach to coaching Millennials is necessary to achieve this discretionary effort, which can lead to high engagement across the organization. This best practice session will share tips and insights from both research and best practices on how to coach and engage Millennials in the workplace.

Emotional Intelligence and Leadership: Stepping Up Your Leadership Skills
Presented by: Sandi Mitchell

Your people are watching you and judging you on your technical and emotional intelligence competencies – whether you want them to or not. So, one of the keys to strong leadership is self-awareness. How do you rate yourself and how does it compare to how your team sees you? In this session you will take a quick assessment of your usage of emotional intelligence. Then we will discuss how emotional intelligence can help you enhance your leadership skills – with your team, your family, and yourself.
