Generational Differences and Demographic Shifts in the Workplace Require Adaptation: Anne Loehr on Public Speaking Tour

May kept me on the road, traveling from St. Louis to Southern California to Boston in just the first eight days!

What’s thrilling about these speaking engagements is the opportunity to help organizations navigate multi-generational communication challenges – from financial services firms who aim to retain client assets across generations to leaders as they begin to navigate rapidly changing workplace demographics.

Here is a photo that The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency tweeted after I presented a breakdown of Generation Y traits to their leaders.

After speaking to groups than span industries, my key take-away is that every organization — big and small — needs to learn how to adapt to both the seismic shifts in workplace demographics and the many layers of generational expectations. There’s a lot of change ahead and therefor a lot to learn.

Here is a snapshot of my speaking tour and topics covered. It was truly an honor to meet with so many talented, national leaders!
