SUMMARY:THE FENG: Communicating with Different Generations in the Era of COVID-19
LOCATION:Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Host: Robert Half Management Resources&nbsp;– Special thanks to Don Plato for hosting our meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp;Topic: Communicating with Different Generations in the Era of COVID-19&nbsp;We're at a unique time in history with five distinct generations in the workforce.&nbsp; Organizations and individuals worldwide are struggling with how to communicate&nbsp;with each other.&nbsp; As a result of COVID-19, many challenges have become even worse.&nbsp;Please join us as we welcome Brian Doyle, generational leadership and communication expert and author of Gray Goldfish: Navigating the Gray Areas to Successfully Lead Every Generation, to the FENG.&nbsp;Brian will grab your attention from the start with humorous examples and fact-based insights about what makes each generation unique - especially in the era of COVID-19.&nbsp; Those insights, coupled with practical take-aways and best practices, make this a "must see" presentation and discussion.&nbsp;Here’s what one local business leader had to say about Brian’s presentation:&nbsp;“I’ve sat through many presentations on the topic of leading the various generational groups. Not only did I find your talk more humorous and engaging, but you gave us real-life, practical ways to “bridge the gap” to effectively manage and move the organization forward despite our generational differences. I honestly can’t see an organization that would not benefit from your strategies. I’m looking forward to reading your book next!”&nbsp;– Jeffrey Eakes, SASSpeaker: Brian Doyle&nbsp;Brian is the President of Holden Advisors and a recognized expert in helping organizations lead and communicate with the five different generations in today’s workforce, speaking and consulting with audiences worldwide.&nbsp; He’s also the author of Gray Goldfish – Navigating the Gray Areas to Successfully Lead Every Generation.&nbsp;His leadership experience began as a US Air Force pilot where he commanded 31 combat missions in Kosovo as well as transported the Presidential motorcade around the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Transitioning to business leadership, Brian led a Six Sigma program for General Electric and Sales and Marketing at Genworth Financial.&nbsp; He’s since focused his efforts on improving the leadership of his clients resulting in over $1 billion in increased profit.&nbsp;He has a bachelor’s degree in Astrophysics from the United States Air Force Academy and a master’s degree in Systems Engineering from St. Mary’s University.&nbsp;&nbsp;Brian lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife and two sons.&nbsp;Agenda:&nbsp;12:30 pm - We welcome members and guests to log in at 12:30 pm to have a totally informal networking chat with no specific agenda.&nbsp; Just a time to meet as we used to prior to our meeting.&nbsp;12:45 pm – The meeting officially starts.&nbsp; We will use about 15 minutes before the speaker to thank our host, make some announcements, and discuss how the Zoom meeting will be handled and how everyone can participate.&nbsp; We will ask each new attendee and anyone newly in transition to give a 30 to 60 second introduction so that everyone can meet and get to know the new people and keep members in transition in mind when we hear of opportunities.&nbsp;&nbsp;1:00 pm – The speakers will talk for about 45 minutes to an hour saving some time for questions to be submitted via “Chat” or through the email addresses above.&nbsp;After registering, all will receive the zoom link 24 hours before the meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you do not receive it, first check your Spam folder, and then write to&nbsp;JoyceGibney@TheFENG.org.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please Register&nbsp;by&nbsp;EOD, July 12thto ensure that you receive the Zoom link to&nbsp;enter this meeting.&nbsp;Please do not share this on any public forums so we do not have to be concerned about being ‘Zoom bombed’.&nbsp;&nbsp;
