Understanding and Leading Millennials and Gen Z in the Military
This seminar focuses on instilling and discussing a basic, but thorough, understanding of current intergenerational issues and opportunities within the military and Special Operations Forces (SOF). It provides an overview of the core characteristics, needs, and desires of the Millennial generation (b. 1980-1995) and Generation Z (b. 1996-2000). It delves into the powerful societal and technological influences contributing to the development of these generations and considers implications for the future of military leadership. Generational views on authority, work ethic, and communication; and essential factors for healthy multigenerational teams will be presented. Attendees will learn key strategies for intergenerational leadership, with unique implications for the military context. Teaching and Training Millennials and Gen Z in the Military This seminar focuses on moving beyond a basic understanding of current intergenerational issues and opportunities within the military and Special Operations Forces (SOF). Short attention spans, addiction to technology, and lack of interpersonal skills are a few of the descriptors used to describe younger generations today. Millennials (b. 1980-1995) and Generation Z (b. 1996-2012) are also incredibly creative, collaborative and diverse. As society changes, we are experiencing dramatic differences in how young people engage the world. Blended and collaborative learning, redesigned learning spaces, and emerging technologies are just a few of the factors influencing how instruction occurs today. As we train younger troops, it is often necessary to adopt new methods and perspectives as we engage a new type of learner. This session will look at current trends and present strategies for training Millennials and Generation Z. Today’s Global Youth Culture: Trends, Values and Worldviews This seminar is focused on understanding an operational military context. For the first time in history, we are seeing the emergence of a global youth culture, where teens and young adults around the world have more in common with one another than with adults in their own cultures and contexts. This session presents a broad overview of the significant cultural, technological, and structural shifts occurring in American and global societies, and how they are influencing the worldviews of various generations. It provides understanding for those working with younger generations in international and domestic contexts. In an operational military context, this indicates that the interpersonal, social and political issues we experience here at home are at least similar or identical to the problems other societies are facing, including those of our partner nations and states and regions we engage operationally as friends, neutrals or foes. |
Recruiting the Next Generation of Soldiers
This seminar is focused on attracting Millennial and Generation Z military and civilians into a Special Operations Forces career. Millennials (b. 1980-1995) now comprise a large majority of military service men and women and Generation Z (b. 1996-2012) is beginning their careers. Roughly 70% of young people (Gen Z) today indicate that they want to be entrepreneurs, using their skills to do something meaningful outside of a traditional institutional context. So, how can the military engage and attract this tech-savvy, creative, and diverse generational cohort? This program will present an overview of Millennials and Generation Z. Attendees will learn practical strategies for communicating and connecting with young people as they seek to recruit qualified individuals to serve in the military and in a more focused way in Army Special Operations Forces. Tech-Smart Parenting and Families (for FRG audiences) This seminar presents tips for managing our use of technology to keep our kids and families safe, healthy, and connected. While the impact of technology is seen everywhere in society, its influence is perhaps most significant in our homes and families. As parents, we are navigating new terrain as we seek to guide our children in their use of devices, manage our own screen time, and respond effectively to the prevalence of technology in our workplaces, schools, social circles and beyond. This seminar will present essential practices for parents in developing a healthy family culture as it relates to technology, managing our own use of devices, and setting effective guidelines to ensure physical, emotional, mental and relational health for those in our care.
