Y U So Like Dat? Decoding Gen Y
For University Lecturers, Educators and All who work with Gen Y

While managers everywhere are finding it a challenge to manage Gen Y employees, perhaps no one comes closer to the antics of Gen Y than those in the education profession. Time and again, I hear

  • University professors
  • Lecturers and tutors
  • University staff and administrators

echoing the same frustrations as managers in the workplace.

 

Teaching Gen Y students, trainees and interns can be perplexing and bewildering

And given the nature of the campus or school, the encounters tend to be even more up-close, raw and unpolished than in the workplace. As one educator told me, "I don't know whether to laugh or cry!".

So, what's a smart educator to do? Here are your options. You can:

  • Ignore the fact that their work is not up to standard
  • Close your eyes to the fact that they are flouting the rules
  • Give up and go specialise in teaching adult learners
  • Or you can update and upgrade your skills, and widen your repertoire to include teaching and influencing Gen Y.

 

Here's what you can do about it!

You may protest, "But I didn't have to do that for the other batches of students. Why do I need to put in a special effort for Gen Y?" The short answer - because they are so different from the rest of us!

The entry of Gen Y into our schools and campuses has forever changed the way educators, trainers and the rest of us teach and relate. It is time to recognise that this phenomenon is not going to go away.  Because the sooner you recognise that, the sooner you can do something about it.

 

Take time out during this term break to become a more effective educator!

LifeWorkz has designed "Y U So Like Dat", a crash course on understanding and managing Gen Y, with a special emphasis and specific applications for educators --- university professors, lecturers, tutors, administrators and those who work closely with Gen Y.

You will understand their worldview and pick up valuable tips and do-able strategies on how to motivate, manage and get the best from them.

How much time are you willing to invest to improve the way you relate to your students, and to shape their learning outcomes? 3 days? 1 full day? Now, what if you could get a quick and comprehensive update in just 2 or 3 hours? Now you can!

 

But don't just take our word for it..

Let's hear what other educators have to say! We recently have graduated a bumper crop of university and polytechnic lecturers from this course, and the feedback has simply been overwhelmingly positive.

Here are just a few of the comments we received:

"The session has helped me understand my Gen Y students better and communicate more effectively with them." - Lecturer

"A concise workshop that offers an understanding of what makes Gen Y tick!" - Campus administrator

 "The programme is engaging and the facilitator is clear and confident with her content." - Lecturer

"I've learnt to adjust my lesson delivery to meet the demands of Gen Y." - Lecturer

"A wonderfully enjoyable course!" - Educator

And here's my absolute, all-time favourite:

"I can now better understand my children's lingo, and that of my students as well! I look forward to communicating better with them."
