Whether you’re looking to sell products to this demographic segment or incorporate them into your organization’s workforce, this discussion will lead to a better understanding of what makes Gen Y tick and how to get them motivated.

Bea Fields latest book, co-authored with Scott Wilder, Jim Bunch and Rob Newbold, Millennial Leaders: Success Stories From Today’s Most Brilliant Generation Y Leaders is now on sale through Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The new book explores and analyzes Generation Y – the young adults currently between the ages of 18 and 30 – from a socio-economic standpoint.

The book highlights 25 members of this generation who have already made a name for themselves, and provides crucial insights for business and political leaders seeking to tap into this demographic. Along with Corey Blake and Eva Silva Travers, she is also the author of Edge: A Leadership Story (May: 2008).

We look forward to you joining us for this interactive discussion.

Bridging the Integrity Gap: How Personal Growth Professionals Are (And Are Not) Leading the Way. What You Need To Know, With Nina East, Founder of The Association of Personal Growth Professionals.

Date: One Tuesday, August 5 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern

Led by Bea Fields and Nina East, Founder of The Association of Personal Growth Professionals.
http://www.PersonalGrowthProfessionals.com

We are experiencing the rise of conscious capitalism and the power of the values-driven consumer. One might think that these forces would conspire to ensure integrity at the highest leadership levels, particularly in the arena of Personal Growth Professionals. After all, they are training us to be our best – surely that would include integrity, yes?

Unfortunately what we are seeing, with far too great frequency, are personal growth and self-help professionals who have not dealt with their own integrity (or integrity gaps), and therefore cannot model (much less, teach) integrity to their readers, clients, and workshop participants. In other words, those who could – and perhaps should – be leading the way, are not. Why is this happening, what does it mean for the personal growth profession, and what do you need to know about integrity and millennial leaders if your business and your community are to thrive long-term?

Living in the Hot Zone: Seven Edge Strategies for Modern Day Teams with Tom Heck of Teach Me Teamwork

Date: One Wednesday, July 23, 2008 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern

Led by Bea Fields and Tom Heck, Founder of Teach Me Teamwork

We are living in one of the most radical times in the history of business, and radical times call for radical leadership. Teams are now living in the “hot zone”, that place in business where risk, fear, doubt, pressure, uncertainty and change can get the best of the most savvy leaders. During this teleclass, Bea Fields talks with Tom Heck of Teach Me Teamwork about the seven critical strategies teams of today need in order to not just survive but thrive in the business world.

Register for the call here.

And…for those of you who do come to the call, Tom will be giving each of you access to the audio TeleSeminar entitled “Unleash Your Ears — Listening to discern what’s really going on with a team .”

The audio includes 8 key things to listen for when working with groups (or individuals). They are subtle and yet powerful. When you listen for them you will begin to be a much more effective leader and facilitator of teams. Here’s the first 2 things to listen for when working with teams:

Number 1: Genuineness and Accuracy

A Teamwork Coach listens for tone, word phrases and timing.

Does the team (or team member) mean what they are saying? Who is really talking? The past? Needs? Fear?

Number 2: Desires and True Wants

A Teamwork Coach listens for what the person (team) is focused on and ready for.

Do they know what they really want? Are they ready to receive what they really want?

So…join us on Wednesday, July 23 from 1-2 p.m. for this fabulous hour with Tom Heck.
