Bryant
Coaching has been an integral part of my own development
I always asked my own coached - How can I bring my true self to the workplace?
StrengthsFinder has help me do this
I see all of my Top 5 working together especially when I travel
My secret sauce is Communication
As a coach I can now help individuals the way I’ve been helping businesses
SF gave me a new language and I want to bring it to millennials
Have you heard of Quarter-life crisis – it’s a challenge that millennials are facing, what do they want to do with their life after school?
We are in an age where information is much easier to get, you can get answers immediately, but are these answers solutions?
I faced my QLC recently; what is the next step for me - continue as a consultant or get a new job or start my own company or go to grad school? I went to grad school
My business school experience gave me the opportunity to learn more about myself
My call to action is to convert what I’ve learned in the consulting world into coaching
I am a millennial and identify closely with them; I want to dig into the science about millennials
Gallup’s report on millennials gave me a lot of insight
87% rate that professional development/career growth opportunities as important to their job
There is the image that they “hop around” - this isn’t really from lack of commitment but from wanting to learn more
55% are not engaged at work
I want to coach not just millennials but people who work with millennials so they can understand each other better
Reframe the way millennials look at work; they want a coach to guide them; but they want to do their own thing; they want to be held accountable more frequently and focus on strengths rather than improvement areas/weaknesses
How can strengths-based development be geared and framed for millennials?
I do it in 3 ways: use trends from Gallup; strengths innovation; and our own strengths as coaches and how to integrate them.
