Motivational Speaker Blog

Millennials and Gen Z represent an increasingly significant part of the workplace today. This tech-savvy group often bypasses live events in favor of online networking and learning. Not surprisingly, meeting professionals have seen number drop as baby boomers retire and millennials take their place at work. 

It's harder to motivate this group to attend live events. This blog is intended to counter these issues and stop the attrition of younger professionals.

In Indianapolis, like many states, teachers have seen pay cuts over the last decade. Some of them making much less money than they did when they first started their career. 

Today speakers need to work harder to keep audiences engaged. Thanks to online influences and increased digital interaction, attention spans are lower than ever.

People come in all shapes and sizes and varying degrees of complexity. It's this complexity that makes it hard to navigate human relationships.
