Showing Millennials attention will provide a greater ROI

To get the best out of millennials for your organisation to get a return of investment, you must give them your total attention. Attention sounds very negative when people use the word in relation to providing attention to another individual however, all negative stereotypes can be turned into positive attributes when understood.

Millennials want freedom within a frame work. They’re fed up of the rigid corporate structure and environments that many organisations still rely on, now they’re driving for freedom within a structured organisation.

Millennials want to see a pathway within the organisation they work in or have been offered by. They expect a rapid progression in a varied and interesting career – the latest figures suggest a graduate in this generation will likely change their job 8-10 times in their life.

Millennials want to be heard – it is that simple. Young people, especially in the UK, feel that the older generations do not understand them or listen to them. If you want to grow engagement within your organisation I suggest you try not to understand millennials but rather focus on listening and giving them a voice.

To be a successful leader or coach...

To be a successful leader or coach: communication must be two ways. Two-way communication may occur horizontally or vertically in the organisation.

A recent Ernest & Young survey said 2.7 million employees leave their work place per month in the US alone because of a break down in the relation

5 ways of turning your vision into reality

A dream is a wish; a vision is the looking. In other words, a vision is more believable, intentional and structured in assisting us to reach our goals. When building our vision, we must initially know where we want to go - this is the first stage of the formula of success. The formula to success becomes easier when its broken down into steps, then when these are pieced together you have a plan of action to follow. Like anything, once you complete the first step, the second, t

Age doesn't matter unless you're cheese

People assume business experience can only be gained by age, and I feel this is beginning to change – if you want to be a modern, progressive and innovative company you will need to add a youth representative to the board.
