How To Stay Happy With Millennials at Work

I get asked about millennials in the workplace an awful lot. I’ve noticed, the person asking will typically throw in a couple of eye rolls and a heavy sigh or two. I do my best to give an answer that will be helpful. Sometimes though, what I say and what I’m really thinking are two different things. Instead of keeping it all in, I’m sharing what I really think about millennials. My position won’t resonate with everyone, some might even laugh or poke fun – and that’s a-okay with me. I stand by my position – no.matter.what. Enjoy!

Practice Makes You Better

Here’s a quickie to remind you that if you have started trying to be happier at work, well then just keep practicing. Keep doing what you are doing. You WILL get better at it. Forming new habits and trying new things isn’t easy, but keep at it. Like learning anything new, the start is bumpy but over time you will improve and people will notice! Don’t believe me, just have a look at some of the first videos on this channel. They were kinda crappy – but with practice, they improved. Same goes for athletes, artists, musicians and many others. If you’re ready to enlist the help of a coach, I’d love to talk with you!

Increase Flow and Get More Results

As a leader, you have a lot on your plate. Two major responsibilities are retaining your top talent and being mindful of the company resources, especially the financial resources. Instead of looking outside your team to address these concerns, look inward. Making simple adjustments to what you assign to your team, the challenges they work on and the number of distractions they have to deal with can all lead to increasing the amount of time they enter into “flow state”. Once they are “in the zone” they will be more happy and productive! Here are few tips on how to get there. Check it out!

How to Improve Company Culture

Company culture is all the buzz these days – many business leaders have started investing in exercises like core values development, honing in on their mission and getting reconnected with their “why”. I support these efforts wholeheartedly, but at the same time, an unfortunate truth still remains – the workplace is plagued with assholes. Assholes are a HUGE liability to organizations on a number of levels. We must deal with them appropriately before we can truly have a culture we can be proud of. Check out the video to hear my recommendations on dealing with an asshole at your organization.
