YES! Gen Y is different and they are sick of hearing it…
I conducted two focus groups for a client the other day. In their ongoing effort to better understand, motivate and develop their new employees a few years out of college they asked me to talk to some of their folk from that cadre.
Interesting conversation but perhaps the most interesting was the comment that basically said, “stop complaining about how different we are from you and find ways to engage us.” “All they (senior leaders) ever seem to do is complain about us”
Interesting. I know many people who would fit that description perfectly. The 20-somethings had a point. If you keep complaining about me and my performance I will live down to your expectations.
What do you think your 20 somethings are thinking?

"Wally’s presentation was fast paced, engaging and right on target. His mix of personal adversity and success was inspiring to our management team. I’ve received countless accolades from my staff regarding Wally’s presentation. More importantly, Wally was able to incorporate our Corporate Values and Culture into his presentation. I would highly recommend Wally Adamchik and look forward to inviting him back for future presentations."
