DR PAUL REDMOND – SPEAKER
Paul is a highly desired keynote speaker on inter-generational employees and the positive and negative effects this can have on the company. In 2020, he did a TED talk entitled “Zombie Careers” Will You Lose Your Job To AI?, and it has since had over 5,600 YouTube views.
His keynote topics include:
Navigating the Multi-Generational Workplace: The workplace of today is more demographically diverse than ever, with four generations working together at times, sharing the same workplace, working together on projects, vying for the same career opportunities and promotions. Managers and leaders need to know how to get the best from their multi-generational teams, and Paul explores how to do so, and how by harnessing digital intelligence and emotional intelligence, the company and employees can succeed.
Selling to the Different Generations: Each generation communicates via its own generational language, and understand how to communicate with each generation can provide companies with a major advantage, but how do you understand it? And how can you use it to sell to multi-generational customers? Paul provides powerful and practical insights into the techniques needed to appeal to all generations.
Top Tips for Engaging the Four Generations: With the world of work being transformed, each generation needs to adapt in real time to the changing way we work. Based on the latest research, Paul provides a practical tool kit to help each generation thrive in 21st Century employment markets.
Wellbeing at Work: Why Your Customer Will Never be Happier Than Your Stuff: Based on the latest research, Paul aims to help managers and teams develop techniques to remain happy, healthy, and productive at work. He provides ways to look after the mental and physical health of staff, and discover why, in today’s workplace, customers will never be happier than staff.
Zombie Jobs: The Future of Work: ‘Zombie Jobs’ are those believed to be at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence. The biggest challenge preventing us in preparing young people for opportunities, is that we still think in the 20th Century. Based on his TED talk, Paul explores the forces of change transforming the world of work, and the skills and attitudes needed to avoid career zombification. He specifically looks at:
– The top 10 zombie jobs currently in existence (but not for long)
– The three forces of change everyone needs to understand
– How to spot a zombie job
– The new zombie-resistant careers
