Everyone was buzzing after Neil Howe's presentation on Tuesday about Millennials... he was a wonderful speaker and gave great insight into a grouping as vast as my co-workers, incoming freshmen, and my 7-year-old.
Here are the personality traits he attributed to Millennials:
- Special
- Sheltered
- Confident
- Team-oriented
- Conventional
- Pressured
- Achieving
Don't forget to "prepare for students who expect to be treated as VIPs; exploit and leverage those expectations." As for dealing with their Gen X parents... he suggests "channel[ing] the energy of their parents, don't block it."
