Type Challenges Across Generations — Baby Boomers/Gen X/Millennials

You’re a “Baby Boomer” supervisor who has paid your dues and knows how things should be done.

Your “Gen X” colleague knows from experience how to play the rules to get what he wants accomplished.

A new “Millennial” colleague arrives on the scene who grew up in the current helicopter parenting culture and has had her identity handed to her.

What part does type play in this scenario? This two-day program for experienced type practitioners will look at these generational differences through the lens of type development. How do Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials approach:

The new economy

Career expectations and motivations

Potential mid-life concerns

Workplace behaviors

Student and employee retention

Academic and career success

Counseling and coaching relationships

Keeping students in school and engaged is the first rung on the ladder of academic and career success. Four-letter type descriptions help to know the student, but how do you turn that knowledge into an action plan for student retention and career development?

Type and adjusting to college

Type and academic advising

Type and the sophomore slump

Type and counseling support

Type and learning styles

Type and student development

Type and stress

Type and career decision making

Who Should Attend?
	The focus of this program is on type applications in education, and should be of particular interest to college and university advisors, counselors, career counselors, other student support services personnel, and private practice counselors and coaches who work with college students of all ages.

Combining the Strong Interest Inventory™ and MBTI® Assessments

This two-day advanced training addresses the issues that come up after you have been using the two assessments for awhile, and introduces products and support materials beyond the basics. It goes beyond the typical textbook cases where all the test results point in a clear direction, the client is motivated, and the job market is cooperative. The workshop presents a career assessment framework which can be adapted to any career development or human resources setting. Using actual case studies, you will learn to use the Strong Interest Inventory™ and MBTI® assessments with students and clients to:

Fully access occupational resources, career fields, and job titles.

Relate type preferences to RIASEC work environments.
