And, it’s not without irony that while we say we aren’t focused on finding a coach or mentor for ourselves – many are in the process of developing mentor programs in their own organizations. The first step is to find a mentor you connect with on a personal level. Very different approaches with very different goals.

“The millennial generation requires belonging to an organization where a strong learning culture is present.” Employees want to work in an organization where there is time for self-discovery, time for reflection, debate and thought.

Being the good L&D person you are, you put together a training program. Organizations can continue to close down shop for a “day of training”, but be aware – while this looks good on the nightly news, it will do nothing to solve the overall problems. You design the program with engaging interactions.
