1. Generations @ Work - Today, many organizations are finding four different generations interacting in the workplace: Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Milleniials. Each bring their own unique and sometimes differing perspectives, values and communication styles to the workday experience. In this class we will have a discussion and explore strategies for understanding and effectively managing the different generations.

5. Time Management - Time is one of the most important resources that an employee can possess. It must be managed with the same diligence as money.

Topics covered will include: Identifying your 3 time bandits, 3 time management methods to help you win back your day, and Simple tools to help overcome stress and procrastination.

6. Conflict Resolution - Conflict is based on interaction and can be driven by perceptions, not just by the objective situation.
