The Future of Work™ Generations in the Workplace
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Each generation brings its own unique work styles and expectations to the workplace, based on common experiences many of them share. Generational influences - like parenting styles, the pandemic, war, the economy, global impacts, popular culture and other defining moments or events - contribute to generational characteristics that are brought into the workplace. To have an inclusive workplace, you have to be intentional and willing to listen to others, gain perspectives, and make adjustments, with the ultimate goal of staying connected… across generations.

The UNtold Story™ Bias in Action
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Biases and societal stereotypes can influence our perception, judgment, language and actions. We may not be aware that we are engaging in behavior that may be offensive. Being aware of common stereotypes and biases (both hidden and explicit) can help you challenge negative assumptions about others. At the end of the day, it always comes down to one word… “respect.” Be sure to check your filters and look for ways to be inclusive and respectful.
What’s This Even Mean? (from The Future of Work™)
The speed of communication is increasing and changing. This happens at all levels whether it’s face-to-face, online, text, email, video, phone... It’s happening all the time, everywhere, and impacts every generation. When we have generational differences, it’s easy to have misunderstandings and miscommunication… because we won’t all communicate in the same way.
The Oh Series™ Everyday Diversity
Diversity in today's workplace is a given... and the value of that diversity allows organizations to draw on a fuller range of experiences - allowing them to think more creatively and avoid biased decision-making. But what if that diversity is causing tension? What if inclusion and equity are slow on the uptake? Treating others with respect is paramount to a successful and inclusive workplace.

The Oh Series™ Everyday Ethics - The Complete Series
We are all faced with making decisions every day. Some are large and some are small. When we’re faced with a decision that involves right and wrong choices at home or at work, sometimes it's hard to figure out what's the best decision in a given situation. It’s important to remember that some of those decisions can result in actions that have major consequences - for the organization, our customers and for ourselves.

Conflict Clock: Taking T.I.M.E. to Resolve Conflict in the Workplace™
Handle workplace conflict effectively with this new program! Conflict Clock™ presents four proven strategies that will help participants break old and negative response habits. Conflict with another person can create stress – the kind of stress that can lead to a response that makes the problem worse, rather than better. Our bodies naturally gravitate toward a Fight, a Flight, or a Freeze response when we feel threatened or upset. This program is designed to help all employees identify and change our responses - better dealing with the conflict at hand.
Conflict Clock: Taking T.I.M.E. to Resolve Conflict in the Workplace™ (Managers)
As a supervisor or manager, your role is vital to the success of the organization. You can impact morale, teamwork, collaboration, respect, inclusion, innovation, quality…and the list goes on. Sometimes we forget this in the heat of conflict. Conflict Clock™ for managers will give you a quick reinforcement and a model for successfully resolving workplace conflict.
Do You Hear What They’re Saying? (from The Future of Work™)
Some of the past ways of leading like command and control will not work well with the new generations coming into the workforce. They’re less interested in authority and fitting into old structures, and more interested in feeling like they belong and can contribute. The manager’s role is to engage their staff and to foster a culture which balances and attends to both…the work and the people. When we say that people matter and that relationships matter, it means that we are willing to change and be more flexible. That’s what inclusion is all about.
When the Boss Calls a Meeting… (from The Future of Work™)
When generational communication differences cause misunderstandings about things like work requirements and work/life balance, what do you do? Our generational differences do influence our views about authority, and hierarchy. They also impact the things we say and how we say them. Many organizations have inherited traditional structures and practices that are rooted in militaristic approaches popular in the past. Using the M.E.E.T.® model is like having a coach helping us through the process. That way we create shared understanding, new agreements, and clear expectations.
This is My Wife, Kelly...
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
You have an employee who tells you they can't believe a coworker is a lesbian. They also tell you that they can no longer work with that employee. As a manager, what do you do? Ideally, organizational policies will give you some guidance on how to address sexual orientation questions and issues - from a compliance standpoint. But beyond that, there are team morale and productivity issues that need to be addressed when and if this type of situation arises.
Maximized Leadership™ Understanding & Beating Bias
SOLLAH EXCLUSIVE!
Bias is something we all have, and by itself, it’s neither good nor bad. It’s a conscious or unconscious judgment we make based on information we have learned from our own experiences or by what we have been taught by others.
