Session Overview from presenter: Today's world is different. This can present you with a challenge or a chore - the choice is yours. What can we do to encourage intergenerational understanding? Have we joined the "I" generation? Are we isolated, insulated, independent, individualized and sometimes even indifferent? Do we pre-judge and get set in our ways? What about the different generations? What motivates people to work with us? Are they difficult - or just diverse in ways of thinking and doing? Working together works when we work at it! Diversity builds the strength we need. Understanding differences can lead to enhanced decision making and informed processes. Celebrating differences will bring excitement and energy to the work we do.
Attendee Testimonial:
“Brenda Robinson effectively addresses one of the most significant challenges in which all soccer organizers are faced with – volunteer recruitment and retention!
Her presentation will equip you with valuable insights and tips leading to a better understanding of how to tap into our potential volunteer base, how to best work with those in different generations, and how to effectively show appreciation that is meaningful to each generation which leads to better retention.
I have attended other generational presentations but this was by far the best one I have encountered. I highly recommend this presentation for anyone in the position of recruiting, mentoring, and rewarding volunteers as well as anyone interested in gaining a better generational understanding to better equip them in their professional or personal lives.”
