    This video was so helpful for me. I have superstar teammate that has had trouble getting results from other team members. Coaching has come up as a way to mitigate the disconnect. Your video spoke directly to us. I have shared it with my team. Thank for your passionate committment. We are right next to the Atlanta airport. We would love to meet you sometime.

    Great question, Elsa! I confess that I'm often prone to focus elsewhere....people and places that seems more fun. However, if we are thinking about Steven Covey's 4 quadrants, the Millennial initiative fits in the Important and Non-Urgent quadrant. And, that's where leaders live.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in ToDo List and we don't "pause" to reflect on what's important and where we should be investing. I appreciate your joining the movement and keeping this conversation alive!

    Great message here, one to put into play in our daily lives both in the workplace and outside of it in an effort to bridge generational differences. I love the domino energy effect and feel this analogy is so valid when it comes to coaching and mentoring our millennial workers (and vice versa). Millennials absolutely matter and I look forward to implementing the reminders and suggestions you so eloquently brought forth!

    Thanks, Angie, for your words of encouragement. I also spent some time this past week talking with the youth group about suicide prevention and depression. That's when I learned from Cheyenne that 90% of our serotonin is produced in our gut flora! So, the learning goes both ways. Both you and her are doing good work! And, I appreciate your sharing this message and passing along!

    This is the focus difference- and yes, it was a focus I learned in 1980 from my mentor. She said, as she looked at me- "You will make aa Difference, you hold such promise!" For over 35 years my speaking messages were that message. I was not a millennial but I knew how to stop. look, listen and smile at those I ran into, spoke to, found in business, saw in schools and yes, Danita- your message is NEEDED AND MUST BE DELIVERED.

    I found Danita Bye’ talk on Millennials Matter an inspiring thought, I truly believe that many baby boomers need to take heed, and start walking along side the next generation of leadership, otherwise the private owners legacy could well be lost, and the corporate leader loosing their shareholder wealth. This is a case of win win for both today’s and tomorrow’s leaders. Thank Danita for forfronting this topic

    Great point, Steve. We need to start "walking alongside." We didn't get to be the leaders that we are with a snap of the fingers. Neither will they. However, we can do our part to help them on the journey. Or, we will have no one to transition our businesses to. Thanks!

    Growing the next level of leaders is essential in Scaling Up a business. It is also the primary reason why companies get stuck and hit the ceiling. Danita Bye's work on Millennial makes perfect sense. It is good for all parties involved, the mentee, the mentor and the company.Danita thank you for your work on this.

    Paul, this is constant drumbeat message I hear everyday from leaders. They KNOW that tapping their expertise is critical - and are asking for practical, rubber-meets-the road help on how to do it. That's one of the key reasons I wrote Millennials Matter.

    Fantastic talk, Danita. And when you really get down to brass tacks (to borrow a phrase from "our" generation), didn't we all want what Millennials want? They are just doing such a better job of expressing it...of course, it helps when someone (like you!) interprets it :)

    So true! On a radio interview this afternoon, we talked about the work-life balance. We all want it, don't we? We all want to be a good dad, a good husband, to have great friends to hang with and enjoy life with. It's interesting to think (for many of us) that our seasons of life are measured by key relationships.

    This is some shallow analysis. Empty ideas. No one has a problem motivating younger people to do what they are passionate about. The problem is getting them to do work that needs to be done but they are not passionate about. They burn out easily. How do you get them to endure periods of hard work without immediate gratification.
