As the economy progressed and people started living more lavishly, the basic motivations dwindled and the younger generation have grown up aspiring more than an iron rice bowl. The Millennials and Generation Z are looking to pursue their passions and monetise them into their professions. However, in their developing years, many got on the bandwagon and did what their peers and parents advised them.
As a result, they find themselves beginning to wonder what is missing despite 'checking all the boxes'. They seek meaning, purpose, and clarity in direction. They want to do work that leaves a positive impact on the community around them. Motivational speaker & Millennial Specialist Vivek Iyyani offers your organisation the ultimate keynote experience that will lead your attendees to a path of discovery to find their North Star (Compass) that will guide them in the journey of life

Any relationship takes intention and effort! And yet, there is very little formal or informal training available about developing a relationship with your manager. Develop your career by managing the relationships with those above you in the organisation. Be seen as the person that can get things done. Learn how to add value so you get recognised not ignored. Get your superiors to make time for you and what you've got to say. Have your voice and opinions heard and even asked for! Studies have shown that employees with huge potential get bypassed and ignored because they don't know how to make themselves get heard and stand out. As the saying goes...
"Your skills and talents are useless you aren't marketing them"
Organisational theory suggests that managing upward and sideways is good for both the company and the individual leader's career. Are you ready to take charge, do good work, and get noticed for it? If you don't manage up, you may never have the opportunity to manage down.
Maximise your career by managing up and deciphering the management style of your boss. Managing up helps you find common ground with a manager who doesn't necessarily think the same way you do. It can also help improve the relationship between you and your boss, which leads to increased trust and the ability to take on more important tasks.
In this workshop, Vivek shares techniques to build strong relationships as well as key mistakes to avoid when working with your boss.

The number 1 challenge with today's young talents is a problem hiding in plain sight: the ever-widening soft skills gap.
Soft skills, contrary to the name, are HARD to learn!
Soft skills may be harder to define and measure than hard skills, but they are just as critical. People get hired because of their hard skills, but people get fired because of their soft skills.
Managers ask: “Why should it be my problem to teach these soft skills? They should have learned these things from their parents or in school. How can I teach these soft skills when I don’t even remember how I learned them myself?”
Here’s the bad news: Setting a good example or simply telling young workers they need to improve isn’t enough. Nor is scolding them or pointing out their failings in an annual review. According to studies, Managers have complaints about the young generation such as:
Today's new, young workforce have a lot to offer - creative ideas, fresh boost of enthusiasm, cool technical skills, unique perspectives and new ways of working. Yet, too many of them are holding back because of their weak soft skills. Soft skills may be harder to define and measure than hard skills but they are as relevant. People get hired because of their hard skills and fired because of their soft skills. Here’s the good news: You can teach the missing basics to today’s young talent.
