INTRODUCING - SILA'S CONFERENCE SPEAKER

Meagan Johnson,
the Gen-Xpert, presents

"Zap the Gap"

Each generation has very unique wants, needs and desires. With each generation, there is an opportunity to get new perspectives and learn fresh ideas. With each generation, there is an opportunity to grow frustrated, upset and angry, and have a disaster on your hands. You must learn to tap into their motivation in order to realize their potential.

Meagan Johnson, known as the Generational Humorist, provides a hilarious spin on how to attract, train, market, manage, and retain people from every generation — and not strangle someone in the process.

You get to laugh while acquiring tools you can use immediately to improve your multi-generational relationships with clients, customers and co-workers. There is no reason you can not have a presentation that is funny, hard hitting and informational all at the same time. In Meagan’s "ZAP THE GAP" presentation, conference members will get information that will challenge their perceptions and change their business in Meagan’s cutthroat, in-the-trenches, comical approach.

FACT:  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by the year 2008, 22 million people will have left the labor force to retire. Who do you have to replace them? Having a cohesive, multi-generational workforce is vital to survival. 

FACT: Nearly 80% of all junior and senior high school teenagers work part-time while going to school. Teens, because of their inexperience, are also more likely to have injuries or accidents in the workplace. Not understanding how to train an emerging workforce can be costly. 

FACT: The ‘New Millennium Generation’ is the first generation to grow up with a computer in the home. Almost 90% of 12–17-year-olds use the Internet. They use the Internet as more than just a fact-finding instrument, they use it to communicate and socialize. Are you using archaic, out-dated tools to reach this generation?

FACT: They live at home. Sixty-three percent of the New Millennium Generation plans to move back in with mom and dad after college. This means delaying marriage, children and huge house payments, so they won’t be dependent on their paychecks to survive. Consequently, if you want to keep the good ones, you’d be wise to offer them effective leadership, lots of training opportunities, a positive corporate culture and a reason to want to come to work!

Come and hear Meagan and join other attendees who have learned:

• About themselves and their generations.
• About their own kids’ generations.
• About their co-workers’, employees’ and customers’ generations.
• What to do with the different generations.
