About this event

  • 3 hours

#1: Millennials & Gen Zers (Can you handle the truth?)

#1.1: Not All Millennials & Gen Zers Are Like That!

Yes, I've seen "your typical Millennial" that gives every manager a stomach ulcer:-(

However, I've also seen young people of Millennial age, and there is absolutely "nothing millennial" about them! I tell them: "What sort of a Millennial are you? There is nothing Millennial about you! You are giving the rest of them Millennials a bad name:-) You know what, as far as being a Millennial is concerned, you are FIRED! Go home and tell mom and dad that they failed at raising a Millennial out of you!" They giggle and tell me: "Thanks, that's the best compliment I've ever got."

#1.2: Being a Millennial is not an age thing! Being a Millennial is a "Mindset"!!!

Did you know, "Not All Millennials are like that!"? As a leadership coach, I've coached and trained 4 different types of Millennials & Gen Zers...

On a scale from 1 to 10, just exactly how frustrated are you, when it comes to managing Millennials and Gen Zers on your team? 11? or maybe 12?

I am sorry:

  1. You hired the wrong person:-)
  2. You did not set the right "frame" for the relationship between you and your employees - you allowed your employees to take control of the narrative.

#1.3: What are the 4 different types of Millennials?

  1. What are the 2 criteria you should use to evaluate millennials?
  2. What are the 4 different types of Millennials?

For your current employees who are millennials:

  1. Which ones should be promoted?
  2. Which ones should be coached?
  3. Which ones should be "utilized"?
  4. Which ones should be fired?

#1.4: If you want to solve this challenge:

You need to do/learn/hear what is necessary!

And what you need to hear (not what you want to hear) are outside of your current awareness, they are outside of your current comfort zone. But you have a long history of expanding your comfort zone, right?

You are not the sort of person who spends 100% of their intellectual, mental and emotional energy fighting to stay inside their comfort zone, are you? The type of person who insists on only hearing what they want to hear, and refuses to hear what they need to hear? What do we call that kind of a person? A "Millennial"? :-)

#1.5: The Emperor Has No Clothes On!

  1. Millennials have been told a pack of lies, and they are suffering from the spell.
  2. You the employer, sadly, have not been told the truth either.
  3. How did this happen? And what can you do to solve your challenge?
  4. Everyone in America is beating around the bush, refusing to come out and say it: "The Emperor is butt naked!!!"

#1.6: In this Live Online Seminar, you will learn the truth the whole truth and nothing but the naked inconvenient truth:

  1. Exactly what is the pack of lies that were told to millennials; (No, it's not what you think.) 
  2. Who told this pack of lies, and what were their motives; (No, it's not who you think, and it's not what you think.) 
  3. What is the truth that millennials need to hear. (No, it's not what you think.) 
  4. What is the truth that you need to hear? As we say in Chinese: "Good medicine tastes bitter, honest advice sounds harsh to your ears." You already know "The Truth Shall Set You Free", but the truth will hurt your feelings first :-) 
  5. Why "Appeasement" is a really really bad policy, that will only turn you into an "Enabler", and harm everyone: your employees, the business, society at large and yourself. (Remember Neville Chamberlain and his disastrous policy of Appeasement?) 
  6. Why you must watch out for those who are trying to drive a wedge between employees and employers, or pit employees and employers against each other, instead of creating win/win situations for everyone. 
  7. How to figure out who need to be fired, and why you are actually harming them if you don't terminate them; 
  8. How to overcome your feeling of uneasiness to fire those who need to be fired, and why you are actually truly helping them by terminating them; 
  9. Who can be coached, and how to coach Millennials?

#1.7: In this Live Online Seminar, you will also learn: What sort of Millennials you should hire from this point on:

  1. Why you need to attract only the right candidates, and repel the wrong candidates from even applying.
  2. How to attract the right Millennials to come apply for employment with you.
  3. How to repel the wrong Millennials from applying employment with you.
  4. How to outsmart the candidates, so you filter in the right candidates, and filter out the wrong candidates.
  5. Why using conventional job interview questions will result in you hiring a bunch of professional liars:-( And have you been using these interview questions, to your own detriment? (Hint: if you have troublemakers on your team? you know you've been scammed! Fool me once? Fool me twice?)
  6. What sort of job interview questions will help you figuring out who is telling the truth?

#1.8: You will learn 1 more important concept in this Live Online Seminar: How to Establish a Whole New Frame with Your Employees:

    And most importantly, you will learn how to establish a whole new Dynamic, how to present and control a new frame, so instead of you having to constantly appease, supplicate, pamper, and seeking approval from your bad employees with bad attitudes, you have the opposite:

    1. Your employees understand: true confidence, real self esteem, can only be earned, by overcoming challenges, by practicing fear busting and by expanding their own comfort zones.
    2. Your employees understand that "growth" doesn't mean "I've been given more goodies for free". They understand "growth" means they've busted more fears and expanded their comfort zones.
    3. You employees cherish the challenges you give them, because they understand overcoming challenges is the only way to grow.
    4. Your employees are grateful for their growth, both professionally and personally, as a result of overcoming challenges while being a part of your team, and they thank you for holding their feet to the fire;
    5. Your employees come to you seeking coaching and guidance on how to overcome challenges and obstacles;
    6. Your employees want to contribute first, for they understand the concept of creating "win/win/win" for all involved: customers, employers and employees.
    7. And you the employer are always in charge - not the other way around!

- Now, that's "Being" a Leader!

This Live Online Seminar is ONLY for those leaders who want to expand their own comfort zones, hear the truth, willing to do what has to be done, and want to overcome this challenge!

#2: Hiring (Millennials & other age groups)

  12. How do you find out the candidate's mindset, behind their masks?
  13. What sort of job interview questions are worse than useless, and will do a great disservice to you, and filter out all those good candidates you need to hire?
  14. Why you should not be using "overt" job interview questions?
  15. Why you must use "covert" job interview questions?
  16. What are examples of "covert" job interview questions?
  17. How to invent your own effective "covert" job interview questions to fit your industry, your business, and the profession of the vacancy?
  18. How to get around "illegal job interview questions", and still obtain the crucial info you are looking for, and ask for it, legally? And have the applicant willingly telling you everything you need to know?

Save time and take this Live Online Seminr, that's jam packed with reality based truthful insights and wisdom that will solve problems in the real world.

Comments from Business Leaders who took this seminar:

  1. "It was my old thinking that was causing me to attract all the wrong candidates to apply for jobs with me, and suing me for providing them a livelihood! This seminar from Coach Michael Lin turned my thinking around 180 degrees, and I am no longer attracting the wrong kind of applicants!"
  2. "Now I know which resume to delete, and which resume to call - saving so much time!"
  3. "I used to get lied to a lot during interviews, and I had no idea I was being lied to! I now know how to avoid being tricked! Take this seminar so you will become an effective lie detector!"

#3: Delegation (Millennials & other age groups)

Do you want to get ahead faster? Create loyalty from your employees? Have less stress? Have more time? Delegation is the tool for you!

#3.1: You are the boss now - you won't succeed if you don't delegate as much as possible:

You are the Leader. You are the boss. You are an employer. You are busy. You are always busy. You have more responsibilities than others, but you don't get more than 24 hours. How do you get more bang for your buck, out of the same 24 hours?

  • Have you ever seen the General Manager of a 5 star hotel, making beds? Is making beds the best use of the General Manager's time? Which task generates more value and hence profit, for the hotel and the individual?
  • Have you ever seen the 747 pilot, coming to the back of the plane, and serve passengers coffee? Is serving coffee the best use of the 747 pilot's time? Which task generates more value and hence profit? for the airline, and the individual?
  • Have you ever seen the CEO of a major airline, flying the 747? Is flying the 747 the best use of the CEO's time? Which task generates more value, and hence profit? For the business, and the individual?

That's why you need to Master the skill of Delegation!

#3.2: However, when it comes to "Delegation", many managers and business owners feel:

  1. "By the time I explained everything to my employees, I could've done it, all by myself, 3 times already!"
  2. "After they screw everything up, who has to go back in there, re-do the whole thing again? Poor Ole ME! What a waste of my time!"
  3. "Didn't they tell ya: 'If you want it done right, you do it - YOURSELF!' ???"
  4. "I don't like it when they accuse me of 'Not Pulling My Own Weight'!"
  5. "I hate it, when they accuse me of 'Playing Favoritism'!"

The above are all excellent ways to think - before you had employees. If you are an expert, and you wish to remain an expert, doing the hands on work, then the above way is the way you should be thinking.

#3.3: But you are no longer just a hands on expert anymore, you have employees now, you are now an employer. You need to acquire a whole new set of thinking!

Comments from business leaders who took this Seminar:

  1. "I was so busy and could not find the time to do anything like strategic planning. As a result, my life and my business were stuck.

If you want to advance your career and your business quickly, don't miss out on his seminars!"

#4: Coaching (Millennials & other age groups)

  1. It's not 1950 anymore! Most jobs in America are now "knowledge work", and you the boss? a big part of your job as the boss, is to teach, is to coach. And a big part of what you have to teach, is wisdom, insights, human nature, understanding of business.
  2. Good economy, bad economy, bad employees are dime a dozen. Good employees? Your business competitors are not only working on stealing your customers away from you, they are also working on stealing your best employees from you. You are competing against other employers to attract and keep high quality employees.
  3. And your best employees? In this knowledge based economy, best employees know the key to their own long term well-being is their own skill set. They are hungry for knowledge, for wisdom, they want what's in your head, and they want you to make their learning experience inspirational not painful. If you refuse to teach them, if you are not effective at coaching, or if it's unpleasant to learn under you (you are a typical tyrant of a boss from 1950 LOL) they will quit and go somewhere else for the learning experience.
