People from each generation (baby boomers, Generation X, and Millennials) come to training sessions with their own set of values, needs, attitudes, and communication styles. For those of you charged with facilitating sessions that include multigenerational participants, the success of the program (and the outcome) lies with your ability to connect with each audience member. You have the dual challenge of holding attention of your audiences--often for long periods--while achieving the learning objectives of the group. The key is to get each audience member to actively contribute to your training program or meeting. You'll learn to flex training delivery to appeal to generational expectations and grab attention, and incorporate different communication approaches to intensify audience-member involvement.		Amy Glass    Amy Glass Brody Professional Development Energizing. That's one word you can use to sum up Amy's distinct approach to training and coaching. Amy began at BRODY in 1996, and ever since, has successfully led learners with her unique, fast-paced teaching style. Amy facilitates training programs that focus on presentation and facilitation skills, networking, professional savvy, and managing and engaging multiple generations in the workplace. In her roles as professional speaker and executive coach, she also customizes and designs sessions to personally address client needs. Amy has worked with many Fortune 500 companies and international trade associations in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, biotech, finance, entertainment, education, and technology. She has presented programs internationally in Dubai, Austria, Ireland, Bermuda and France. During Amy's tenure at BRODY, she has helped develop courses that have shaped a distinct training style – as Amy puts it, being an “Enter-trainer.” Amy incorporates a passionate, dynamic teaching approach using humor, group rapport, multimedia, skill-building exercises, and generally pushing people out of the normal comfort zone. Amy has presented at many industry events, including American Society for Training and Development in 2006 and 2009. She was featured as an expert in a report about intergenerational training programs on “The Early Show” on CBS. She also co-authored a book about networking skills titled, You Can't Do It Alone: Building Relationships for Career Success (Career Skills Press, 2006). Amy is a graduate of Boston University, where she earned a degree in Mass Communications. She also studied Organizational Dynamics at The University of Pennsylvania. When she's not coaching professionals, Amy can be found at playgrounds with her husband and two young sons in the Philadelphia suburbs.
