May Dinner Meeting
Generational Differences In The Workplace by Cathy Looney
Make your plans to attend the May 8th ISM-Dallas affiliate meeting. Our speaker will be Cathy Looney, a nationally acclaimed speaker and Certified Reality Therapist. Cathy is a much-sought-after personality whose insight and wit have helped educate parents and children in schools, churches, organizations and businesses throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. She works with Young Presidents Organization facilitating leadership workshops, seminars and retreats. Cathie has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers.
She has been described in the Dallas Morning News by columnist Steve Blow as delivering her presentations with a "rapid-fire mixture of wit and wisdom". She holds degrees in Elementary and Secondary Education and a Master's degree in Counseling.
Getting grown-ups to cooperate at work might be as simple as treating them like children. So says generational expert Cathie Looney, who suggests the key to understanding a worker’s habits lies in knowing how that person was parented as a kid. Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Millenials each have very different (and often conflicting) attitudes about work, reward and responsibility. Drawing on her 15 years of experience in family therapy, Looney confronts today’s workplace issues by addressing each team member’s generational upbringing. Delivered with her engaging brand of “stand-up therapy,” Looney presents a refreshing, enlightening perspective on office politics — and a practical set of guidelines for building understanding and cooperation.
