It happens every year. You face a lecture hall full of college freshmen and feel how cavernous the generation gap has become. To you Amazon is a river in South America; to them it's an online shopping giant. You understand what ‘don't touch that dial' means; they've always had a remote control. You wanted to be like Mike; their NBA heroes are Kobe and Shaq.
Ever wish you could get inside their minds to really understand where they're coming from? Here's your chance. On Tuesday, September 27 at 11 a.m. Central, you'll have a rare opportunity for live Q&A with the authors of the Beloit Mindset List.
Ron Nief and Tom McBride, the men who literally wrote the book on what generations of Americans think is normal will present, "Back to School: Understanding the Mindset of Today's Modern Student." They'll cover:
- How technology has accelerated the widening of the generation gap
- What they've learned over the 14 years they've been creating the mindset list
- Their favorite "Mindset Moments" and how you can leverage them to keep relevant
