This interview is with Brooke Chesnut who discusses all things Millennial relating to the workforce. Did you know by 2025 75% of all employees will be millennials?

Brooke Chesnut has dedicated 30 years to building successful Sales, Sales Leadership, Training, Consulting and Mentoring programs for multiple industries in Colorado.  He is an expert in guiding small & large organizations through the challenging generational issues that confront all companies today.

He specializes in transforming Millennials from being a liability into an engaged productive employee.  In todays workforce the Millennial factor has become the single most talked about challenge for any C-level executive.

How do we attract the best Millennial talent?  What processes need reviewing and why?  How do we retain Millennial employees?  These are only some of the issues that keep executives awake at night and for good reason.  By 2025, 75% of the US workforce will be occupied by the Millennial generation!

As of 2015 millennials are the largest generation surpassing the baby-boomers in numbers.  By 2025 75% of all employees will be millennials.

You always want to attract the best employees so it is important to know how to attract the best millennials.  The employees you are hiring now will be the leaders in your companies in the future.

Understand differences in millennials to attract, retain and train millennials.  Many are interested in professional growth and improved skills.

Brooke mentions he wasn’t great in his first sales job but a mentor took interest in him and helped him.  The mentor kept him accountable and held him to tasks.  The mentor suggested books to read. This reminds me of the book “The Go Giver”.

The millennials are hungry for knowledge so they can be receptive to mentoring.

When mentoring ask millennials how do you like to give and receive education and communication.

Millennials are looking for a work life blend rather than a work life balance.  Millennials like flexibility, I’m thinking who doesn’t when they are thinking about their own time. Millennials are the most educated generation having access to the internet for most of their life.

Millennials are multi-taskers which reminded me of the suggestion of working on something for only 25 to 45 minutes before taking a break.

Dual mentorship and reverse mentorship.

Most companies have a corporate ladder but millennials are looking for a corporate lattice.  Which allows them lots of experiences across an organization.  Many of the layers of management are now gone so millennials are looking for a lattice instead.  (Multi-directional career path)

Companies should focus on having:

  • creativity
  • flexibility
  • collaboration
  • teamwork, team project

Millennials embrace texting at a level never before seen.

Millennials expect instant feedback or at a minimum acknowledgement that a message or document they sent was received.  An example is hearing something back from them.

Greatest Fears of Millennials

  • Not getting professional development from employers
  • Not getting enough feedback – they want acknowledgement and they want to know now

Importance of a mentorship program

  • Giving or passing knowledge through to the younger generation
  • The millennials are starting to get bored because of the single direction mentorship is taking them – company should come up with reverse mentorship/dual mentorship (the younger intern hired is now a partner)
  • Mentor the older partner to be relevant in social media – connect to younger generation
  • More trust, communication, creativity

Millennials want to see videos/instructional videos – they want to be social versus a face to face meeting.

Voicemails are practically obsolete now – millennials prefer instant messaging and following up.

Companies using texting as a feedback

Millennials are inevitably invading the country with their progressive thinking and technology.

If you had a video on a landing page of your website, your will have a 68% chance of sales.

Companies that were financially rewarded because of mobile phones

  • Instagram
  • Uber
  • Airbnb

Hire the best…

Book/Reading Suggestions

Brooke suggests reading Jean M. Twenge’s book Geneation Me, Why Today’s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled–and More Miserable Than Ever Before.

In this book, Dr. Jean Twenge explores why the young people she calls “Generation Me” are tolerant, confident, open-minded, and ambitious but also disengaged somehow. This is the book company owners should read to understand more about millennials who mostly run the business for them.

Dr. Twenge utilized feedback from 11 million respondents to reveal shocking truths about this generation and their impact on the progressing society as a whole.

There are also some great articles on Business Finance Magazine, one from Jeff Schwartz which tacked about shifting from the corporate ladder to the corporate lattice.

Book Review of Adam Braun’s The Promise of a Pencil

Leave a comment
The Promise of a Pencil Book Review Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This is my review of Adam Braun’s book The Promise of a Pencil, the captivating story of how a young man turned $25 into more than 320 schools around the world as of December 2015 and the guiding steps anyone can take to lead a purpose-driven life. Below are some of the chapters, key points and quotes that I found very inspirational and in a way, motivated me to do more.

BIG DREAMS START WITH SMALL, UNREASONABLE ACTS

The biggest of dreams often start with small, unreasonable acts. 

The difference between a lunatic and a leader is that only one of them has others who join in his or her pursuit.

Early adopters and evangelists are actually the ones who make a company’s success possible.

PRACTICE HUMILITY OVER HUBRIS

It’s in the moments when you feel most confident that you are most likely to fall flat on your face. 

We learn far more from our mistakes than we do from our successes, and although it nearly cost me my job and my best opportunity to start PoP, he was right to demand nothing short of excellence. I would never make the same mistakes again. 

SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BECOME

Sometimes you know something in your head, and other times you know it in your heart. The mind delivers logic and reason, but the heart is where faith resides. In moments of uncertainty, when you must choose between two paths, allowing yourself to be overcome by either the fear of failure or the dimly lit light of possibility, immerse yourself in the life you would be most proud to live. 

The more we speak in the voice of our most aspirational self, the closer we pull our future into our present.

HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN CELEBRATING OTHERS  

FIND THE IMPOSSIBLE ONES

FOCUS ON ONE PERSON IN EVERY ROOM 

READ THE SIGNS ALONG THE PATH 

Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, has said that an entrepreneur is someone who will “jump off a cliff and assemble an airplane on the way down.” I wasn’t ready to jump yet, but it was time to start looking for airplane parts.

NEVER TAKE NO FROM SOMEONE WHO CAN’T SAY YES

STAY GUIDED BY YOUR VALUES, NOT YOUR NECESSITIES

But nothing is more potent or deceptive than the competing interests of another great opportunity. In those moments when priorities clash, always stay guided by your values, not your perceived necessities. Necessities exist in a state of mind that will not last, whereas values are transcendent and enduring.

YOU CANNOT FAKE AUTHENTICITY

THERE IS ONLY ONE CHANCE AT A FIRST IMPRESSION

The single most wasted resource on earth is human intention. How many times have you wanted to do something but not acted right away and forgotten about it later?

You can only prepare for making the best possible first impression on those new people you’ll meet in the future.

FESS UP TO YOUR FAILURES

“The most powerful thing in the world is an idea whose time has come.”

I personally learned that failure is a necessary step toward achievement. – Adam Braun

 LEARN TO CLOSE THE LOOP

Make the little decisions with your head and the big ones with your heart. Do that, and you’ll be just fine.” – Kevin Roberts, 

CHANGE YOUR WORDS TO CHANGE YOUR WORTH

I wanted to spend my time maximizing purpose rather than profit – Adam Braun

By changing the words you use to describe something, you can change how others perceive it.

 A GOAL REALIZED IS A GOAL DEFINED

 “You have to find a mantra and live it fully. – Adam Braun

 ‘You may be safe, but I am free.’ – unknown

“Hope is not enough. You have to believe, and then it will be so.”  – Justice from Ghana

Rainer Maria Rilke said, “Live not in dreams, but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.”

“We don’t just want you to support us, we want you to join us.” – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

Sometimes you just know. With absolute conviction. The complete absence of doubt is so rare it generates a sense of excitement that’s so powerful it becomes shocking.   – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

I believe in keeping your friends close and your family even closer. – Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THOSE WHO MAKE YOU BETTER 

Bliss does not come from materials or possessions, it comes from fulfilling one’s purpose in this existence.” – Ray Chambers, 

African proverb states, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” 

VULNERABILITY IS VITAL 

The tasks I ignored were the ones I feared.. – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

We all know which tasks are the most important in any given day, yet we still choose to do them last. Choose to do those things first. – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

LISTEN TO YOUR ECHOES

If an idea grows, it expands far beyond the confines of any one person’s control. By limiting it to a single story told by a single voice, we strip it of its true potential. – Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

Mantra 29 IF YOUR DREAMS DON’T SCARE YOU, THEY’RE NOT BIG ENOUGH

I looked around and acknowledged that what you see around you is proof of what exists within you.- Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” -Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Make your life a story worth telling

I never thought, I hope this works out. I knew it would. – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

Purpose is found when you stop thinking about how you exist in the world and start trying to figure out why you are here. Once you solve that question, everything else will fall into place. – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

For anyone going through a restless period in life, looking to make a change but not sure how, start with an ambitious but attainable goal. I set out to build just one school.   – Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

The key is to think big and then take small, incremental steps forward day by day.   – Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

Start by changing the subjects of your daily conversation from the life you are living to the life you aspire to create. – Adam Braun of Pencils of promise

But you can’t keep saying, “I’ll get started tomorrow.” The world has far too many problems, and you are way too smart and capable not to help tackle them. Your time is now.  – Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

Regardless of age or status, if you’re not satisfied with the path you’re on, it’s time to rewrite your future. Your life should be a story you are excited to tell. – Adam Braun of Pencils of Promise

Ideas and Idea sex and how to become an idea machine by working your brain

This episode covers how to work out your idea muscle aka your brain.

Ideas and Idea sex and how to become an idea machine by working your brain Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I have been an idea machine in that I look at anything and wonder how it could be different and or better.  Claudia and James Altucher suggest coming up with 10 or more ideas a day around a theme.  They also suggest giving your ideas away to people and business for free which ends up helping you in the future.  It can surely help with networking when people know you are an idea machine with helpful ideas.  Remember many of your ideas are bad and that is ok it is all about practice of working your brain out.  Michael Jordan’s first shot was probably bad, maybe his first 9 or 90 even.

I cover how I used Idea Sex or Idea cross pollination to get a patent by combining two technologies from two totally different hobbies of mine.  Golf and autocross car racing.

Ways to become an idea machine:

  • Think how you would change or improve processes or things you interact with each day.  (I talk about an idea to use a sponge in a chicken water to provide water for bees while keeping them from drowning)
  • List 10 or more ideas each day on a certain topic.  Claudia and James suggest this and examples include 10 people you would like to have lunch with, ten ways to modify toilets.  They cite that their lives and lives of others are different after doing this practice for 6 months along with doing other healthy habits.  Check out their books “How to Become an Idea Machine”, And their “Choose Yourself” series of books available on the kindle app via Amazon.com for .99 cents.

Ask yourself daily how could I help, who could I help and what is the first step to do so.
