Course overview
The world has changed, and so has work.
Twenty-somethings today don’t just want a paycheck. They want transformation, purpose, and meaning. They want their work to matter, not to matter at work.
Lucky for you: you can give them that – easily.
With the team-building techniques outlined in this course, you'll enhance your relationship with younger employees, refine the processes you use to connect with them, and master the art of helping them succeed – so your company wins.
You'll leave not only with "ideas in mind," but hours of practice under your belt and a community of peers to practice with.
01
Upper managers coaching middle managers on engaging & retaining younger employees.
02
Gen X & Millennial managers who want to unlock performance & prowess in their twenty-something teams.
03
Aspiring managers who want to know how to build & nurture younger talent for when they get a chance to lead.
There is no mystery behind what makes younger workers tick; this course will lay it out in black and white so all that guesswork will go the way of Facebook.
A binder full of smart ideas and simple-to-use activities takes the guesswork out of "managing" and makes it as simple as doing a TikTok dance (jk, way simpler).
You won't be watching PPTs or taking notes – you'll get your hands dirty with live exercises so you leave ready to apply each new skill to your real team tomorrow.
Why learn in a cohort? Because #community, ofc. Learn live and alongside other dynamic leaders so you can pressure test and refine your learnings as you go.
The Art of Gen Z Engagement

How can we help young people transition from learning spaces to professional spaces? How do we capture their innate enthusiasm and natural eagerness and guide these gifts to override their (equally natural) inexperience, uncertainty, and ignorance...
These are The Questions high school teachers, college lecturers, and early career managers are all asking. And I've been all of these things.
You could say my "introduction to Gen Z" was in 2014 – when they were 14 years old and I was their 9th grade English teacher.
(I'll help with the math: They're 22 now and you employ them.)
By the time I was managing teams and an officemate ran in holding a McKinsey report yelling "Gen Z is coming! Gen Z is coming!" I already knew them well.
By then, I was managing a cohort of 35-40 new employees – all straight out of college, wet behind the ears, and suddenly, not millennials.
Over the next 5+ years, I tried, failed, and finally succeeded in developing tools, frameworks, and protocols for understanding these young workers so I could coach them to become young leaders – and, ultimately, so they'd be reliable professionals in the classrooms, cubicles, and Zoomicles where they worked.
So join us. After years developing young workers into young leaders, I'm lifting the curtain so you can learn to do the same.
It's simple, it's human, and it's guaranteed to help you win with Gen Z.
01
Understand –
Teams are grounded in connection. But you can't connect to – or build connection with – people you don't know. In this module, we'll build the muscle you need to get to know your young workers and to ensure they get to know you, in a way that makes sense. Includes: storytelling, dynamic interviews, and a short "History of Generation Z."
02
Invest –
Gen Z has no reason to trust you – and they have no reason to work hard "just because that's how we did it in our day." In this module, you'll learn what it takes to build trust & get buy-in from a skeptical generation (hint: it's not kombucha). Includes: 121 frameworks for investing in people, techniques for tracking & measuring that investment.
03
Win –
If you know who you’re working with, why they're there, and what they want, you're halfway to winning. Now’s the hard part: you have to walk the walk. In this module, you'll receive guidance and practice how to be a true leader of your young team. Includes: charted course for mutual benefit, win+win protocol, success mapping.
