See keynotes with Jeff ButlerModern day workplace has four generations working under one roof. Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, Millennials and soon Generation Z all work together to accomplish common organizational goals. But with differences in each of these generation’s viewpoints, upbringings, culture, ideas, beliefs and experiences, it is likely to see some tiffs or clashes within the organization. This makes managing four different generations in the workplace an extremely difficult task to accomplish, though not impossible.
With right guidance, support and advice, the task of managing these four generations under one roof is achievable. That support may come in various forms, one of which is this program. In this program about managing four different generations in the workplace, best-selling author Jeff Butler, backed by a decade of psychological research, shares insights about motivations, differences, and communication styles of these four generations. You will learn how organizations across various industries are thriving with a multigenerational workforce. And how yours can too. Through this program you’ll find specific actionable strategies to manage your cross-generational challenges and turn your multigenerational workforce into a competitive advantage.

More than ever before, talent is in peak demand and companies are having to completely change the way they view human capital in order to stay competitive. In this program you will hear up-to-the-minute data and case studies presented by author Jeff Butler on how organizations are winning the war for talent. Jeff has helped dozens of companies on winning the war for talent and has seen unusual and ground breaking ways to attract talent that some many employers are chasing after.
Jeff has mapped out the complete employee life-cycle from hiring, managing to retaining.

Both high-level theories as well as tactical strategies on workplace leaders are included so leaders can guide their teams to talent victories. Sometimes its a simple change like adding a video to a job ad, other times, it requires viewing your company in a completely different paradigm.

In the age of rapid innovation, overcrowding platforms, and constantly shifting interests, marketers struggle to sell more than ever before. Many marketers are able to get their products in front of customers, but their target market simply does not buy. Why? Two reasons, generations constantly have changing interests and marketing messages more than ever now are templated and lack an authentic human touch.
Jeff Butler, the author of the Authentic Workplace, capitalizes on how authenticity is becoming the new unique selling proposition in the selling process. In this program, he supports his view through compelling case studies and tangible examples. Each demonstrates how to use authenticity is being used by the most cutting edge brands today to help customers go from a “maybe” to a “yes!” These can be in forms of how to convey a more personal video to making marketing copy to unique forms of rapport building in direct sales. Plus, in this program, Jeff covers how each generation has a common “hot button” where people of different generations are more likely to say “yes” authenticity is shown in the right way.

Have you ever wondered why some employees continue to underperform while others become rock stars? Or better yet, is it possible to turn new hires into a team linchpins consistently?
Imagine being able to lay out a roadmap for employees so that they are able to maximize their leadership ability without having to micro manage them. A path where employees feel empowered and want to contribute versus being obliged to by their over bearing boss.
In this program, Jeff Butler reveals the roadmap that the most disruptive companies in the world are leveraging to maximize their employees leadership abilities. More specifically, how to create a team where leadership is encouraged and cultivated to the point where an entire organization benefits. Some strategies are commonplace like instantiating strong management systems, but others are obscure requiring a leader to truly understand how the mind works in order to unlock their employee’s potential.

In 2020, no one was planning on COVID-19 to force thousands of companies to transition to remote work. With these abrupt changes, countless teams found themselves communicating less, employee engagement lowered and deadlines missed because of the inevitable remote work challenges. The in-person managerial and leadership skills simply do not solve the obstacles that the remote workplace experience brings. However, there are a select few innovative companies that are leading the charge by building unstoppable remote workforces that are unexpectedly more effective than in-person teams.
So what are these companies doing that makes them so successful? Since 2014 and well before the time of COVID, Jeff Butler has been building remote teams across different timezones and studying what the most successful hybrid and remote companies are doing. From his research, he put them into practice in his own companies to discover the truth from fallacy. The ideas he found are simple, and yet profound, but most importantly, when someone learns how to master the remote manager techniques, it would make them that much better of an in-person leader. Learning to master the changing workplace is no longer optional – it’s a necessity. Fortunately, anyone can create a successful workforce – it’s just a matter of how.

Digital innovation not only changes corporations but also who we are as humans. Technology continues to evolve at an exponential rate, swiftly collapsing industries that took decades to build. As cutting-edge technology seems to update every day, questions arise such as: How will this evolution change the way we humans work? What does this mean for the next generation? The reality is that the every industry will be affected just as any other.
In his presentation, Jeff Butler unravels which technological changes to anticipate (such as autonomous vehicles, Blockchain and artificial intelligence) and how their integration impacts
the workforce; not only from a business perspective but sociological, psychological, and existential as well. How might this wave of change affect industries—and us as the people that work for them—faster than experts originally anticipated? While inevitable, one of the most important things that people can do now is learn where the tide is coming from… and be prepared for its impact. Jeff’s timely presentation will help guide and navigate conference attendees through this meteoric challenge called “technology change”!
