Testimonials
Supervisor of Respiratory Care
Caritas Holy Family Hospital
"The pivotal point of attending a three-day seminar with Dianne Durkin as part of my MBA studies at Plymouth State University, was realizing I was not what I perceived myself to be as a supervisor. I took the class because I needed to learn how to deal with two employees who were having performance issues – the seminar provided me with concrete, results-driven management style directions and made me realize that my management was as much a problem as my staff. The internal change within me as a supervisor has changed everything around me. The staff takes me more seriously because I have established authority. I am respected and employees respect each other. Our workplace is now free of any negative behaviors.”

Core Drivers for Generational Integration
Workplaces today are melting pots with a diversity of generations – Veterans, Boomers, Xers, and Nexters. Knowing how to properly manage and motivate individuals with distinct experiences, values and needs can mean the difference between a profitable company and one that fails to thrive. This presentation teaches company leaders how to effectively lead individuals with distinct experiences, viewpoints and needs, while teaching strategies for good employee relations between all generations.
