"Knowing the Millenials" webinar

October 27th, 2005 Stewart Posted in Uncategorized |

Today was fun. The folks at the SUNY Training Center had me conduct my Millennials workshop as a web-based seminar. The audio would cut out from time to time, but overall, it was a positive experience for me, and I hope it was for the other participants. (And, if it wasn’t, at least it was short!)

I posted several links to the webinar discussion board, but I thought I would duplicate them here if anyone was interested in them:

Probably the single-best book on college-age Mils, and it’s completely *free!*

Mils Discussion Board — From Howe & Strauss’s “Fourth Turning” site, some advanced (if a little too cheery) discussion of the Mils:

Managing Millennials — Mils as employees, Boomers as employers — a volatile mix. There are also some interesting books out there on the phenomenon, but this is a good start:

I’ll post more in the coming days. Interested visitors might also want to look through my blog archives for a number of Mils-related posts, including:

Teachers Want to Remove “Failed” from the Classroom — about coddling students

Entitled to their Frustration — about job realities for Mils

OMG did ur dad frk out? — about texting and cell phones

And, welcome!
