Continuing Education and Southwest Florida Leadership
Foundation Host Generational Diversity
Expert |
|
FORT MYERS, FL -
Florida Gulf Coast University Continuing Education and the
Southwest Florida Leadership Foundation collaborate to present
"The Generational Imperative: Bridging the Generation Gaps in
the Workplace and Community," 8:30 a.m. to noon, Friday, May 9
at the Three Oaks Banquet and Conference Center in Estero. The
presentation will be delivered by Chuck Underwood, founder and
president of The Generational Imperative.
The Generational
Imperative is a research-driven generational consultancy.
Underwood works with organizations nationwide and explains the
influence of generational values on the American population's
consumer, career and lifestyle decisions. He recently
published a book titled, "The Generational Imperative:
Understanding Generational Differences in the Workplace,
Marketplace and Living Room."
Underwood has addressed
these topics with recognizable corporations such as Proctor
and Gamble, Macy's, and the Coca-Cola Company. He has also
recently produced and hosted two national television specials
on public TV stations due to broadcast later this year.
Consulting coast to coast, he also authors columns,
guest-lectures at universities, and is regularly quoted in
news stories by NBC Nightly News, National Public Radio,
Fortune, BusinessWeek, and many major market
newspapers.
Participants in the
workshop will learn about the four generations, "Silents,
Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials, and what motivates each
specific generation in the workplace. The workshop will help
participants discover how to get the best of each generation
and create a thriving workplace with these diverse
generations.
Registration for the
workshop is $65 for members in the Chamber of Commerce in
Southwest Florida and $75 for non-members. The cost for FGCU
faculty and staff is $40 with appropriate ID, students $30;
