Sponsored by Trane, the Opening Keynote Event for Mechanical Systems WEEK 2012 will feature “Crossing the Generational Divide: Leveraging the Power of Generations for Your Strategic Advantage,” presented by Jason Dorsey, The Gen Y Guy®.
You may have seen Dorsey on 60 Minutes, 20/20, The Today Show, The View, or in Fortune Magazine. A best-selling author and award-winning entrepreneur, he has a unique talent for teaching ready-to-use actions and creative strategies that quickly increase cross-generational performance. In his keynote, Dorsey will share his insights on generational differences in the workplace. Differences that can be a frustrating challenge (you leave a voicemail and they reply with a text!) or a strategic opportunity, depending entirely on how you respond.
Dorsey’s address will highlight each generation’s workplace mindset and share surprising statistics, laugh-out-loud stories and frontline-tested strategies that quickly drive results. He will also reveal ready-to-use actions that can be applied immediately.
A proud member of Gen Y, Dorsey won the Austin Under 40 Entrepreneur of the Year Award at age 25 – one of the youngest winners ever. He was a bestselling author at age 18 and his newest book, Y-Size® Your Business, features more than 50 ways to increase Gen Y performance from day one. Dorsey also shares his insights on his entertaining What the Gen?! blog.
