SPEAKING & KEYNOTES

Engaging. Insightful. Entertaining.
Maybe a Little Sarcastic.

Dynamic and High-Energy Speakers for Every Business.

Entrepreneurs. Consultants. Speakers. Teachers. Coaches. What makes them unique, as father and son, is the countermentoring relationship they have had for many years, learning from each other's experiences and exploiting the knowledge unique to each of them. Together, their objective is to explore the best of both generations while discussing the pros AND cons of two completely different perspectives of the workplace.

Millennials: The Modern Leadership Dilemma

Challenges and Change

Today’s workplace is radically different than it was even 20 years ago, and the impact of technology is not always for the better. Now, there are now four generations of employees in the workplace, and Millennials are the majority! Kelly and Robby deliver a fast-paced, hard-hitting keynote on the current challenges facing today’s leader, and answer these key questions: Are Millennials really the problem? Are Boomers out of touch? How should a leader deal with distractions, technology, and constant change? The way we've always done things definitely is NOT the solution.

L

Millennials Make Better Leaders…?

Kelly and Robby debate who makes better leaders – Boomers or Millennials. This dynamic, back-and-forth keynote discusses the importance of both Results-Focused and People-Focused leaders, alongside the role emotional intelligence plays in determining the effectiveness of any leader.

Old School Management is DEAD

The first step is admitting you have a problem

Today’s workplace can often be divided into two groups: the BOSS (the Boomer Old-School Supervisor), and the KIDS (the Know-It-All Digital Self-Promoters) – and they often don’t get along very well. Why? Because Old-School “Taylorian” management practices are outdated and grossly ineffective. It’s time someone told the BOSS – and that’s what Kelly and Robby do in this presentation. The message: KIDS need to get with the program, but the BOSS needs to change the freaking program.
