Drawings for jetBlue Airways tickets SEMINARS 3:15 pm – 4:30 pm Leadership in Today's Multigenerational Workplace Room 104C Izzy Gesell, CSP Organizational Alchemist North Hampton, Massachusetts This is the first time in American history that four different generations are working side-by-side. As a meeting planner you are sure to be aware that many of the people with whom you work – your managers, your staff members, your suppliers, as well as those who attend your meetings, are a mix of generations. It is important, therefore, to understand how generational differences manifest and impact your organization and your role as a meeting planner. You will leave this interactive, informative, and practical session with an appreciation of the differences between the generations, and how these differences impact your own perceptions and leadership style. You will be taught effective ways to lead people to become more harmonious, productive, and mutually respectful by maximizing the potential offered by the multi-generational workplace – and by learning to make productive use of the differences between the generations. A Kick in the Attitude Room 101 Sam Glenn CEO Sam Glenn, Inc. Chicago, Illinois Your attitude is significant in creating your personal and professional success. Sometimes life has a way of knocking the “kick” out of us, and that kick is our enthusiasm, focus, sense of humor, and resilience. Our kick gets weakened when we let stress build up or when life throws us an unexpected curve ball. This program will revive your kick – attitudes that create better business, better teamwork, better service, and a better life. Get ready to experience a rekindled enthusiasm for your life and a new appreciation for your greatest asset – your attitude. You will leave the session refreshed, rekindled with enthusiasm, determined to pursue your vision, ready for action, reminded of how valuable and appreciated you are, and worn out from laughing so much.
