WEBINAR INFORMATION:
In the contemporary U.S. workforce, four generations now often work side by side. They have had varied life experiences, are characterized by different levels of technological expertise and knowledge, and are often distinguished by racial, cultural, religious, and regional diversity. This webcast will address the implications of these differences for employers and managers. The primary focus is on the differences between generations and what they mean for managers who are trying to build teams and support the diverse needs of their employees. The webcast will also emphasize the technological divide that is at times a divisive element between generations in how they approach their work and personal lives. The effects of globalization and increasing diversity area also addressed.
By the end of this webcast participants will be able to:
• Identify the characteristics and work orientations of Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X’ers, and Millennials.
• Understand intergenerational dynamics and the technological and social media divide between generations
• Develop more cohesive, smooth functioning work teams
• Appreciate and capitalize on the value of multiple employee perspectives and capabilities
• Employ new strategies for overcoming differing generational perspectives at the workplace in order to increase productivity

Building Confidence workshop @ Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium 2015Siti Aishah Zahari
I was invited by the organising committee of Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium to present a 1 hour workshop on Building confidence, held at NUS Business School. YES is a 3-day experience for 400+ young aspiring entrepreneurs from various tertiary institutes in Singapore and Indonesia.
Self-confidence is one of the biggest obstacles for women in taking a seat at the table. In order to close the gender gap, we need more women to aim for positions of leadership. However, a lack of confidence can hold women back from everything to voicing an opinion to applying for a higher position. Addressing how to overcome these barriers is a critical issue no matter what level you are in your career. In this interactive workshop, we will explore what gets in the way to self-confidence, how the lack of confidence impacts women's leadership and contributes to the leadership gap, and what you can do to get more if it to get to the next level in your career.

Generational differences are perceived in the workplace, according to "Can You Trust Anyone Under Thirty?", a case study in Conrad and Poole's (2012) Strategic Organizational Communication (pp. 14-17). Levenson (2010) counters that perceived differences may not be actual differences, especially when stages of life cycles and environmental factors are considered.
