The collective voice and needs of young people can no longer be ignored, especially with technology and media as great vehicles of empowerment.” Anna Opposa Chief Mermaid, Save Philippine Seas
Editor's Notes
- An elderly lady once told me…
- I’ve decided to speak to Gen-Ys today because I’ve had many Gen X and BB coming to me with questions. They wonder how…
- Well, I thought I gave a bit of context about myself… I graduated from SMU with a Bachelor of Accountancy. As a Gen-Y, I was pretty individualistic and frequently got into trouble with my professors. I tend to be overly hot-headed and there was once I was rejected from shifting my exams to receive an award in HK. I then shot an email and call to my President questioning him on the values this university was founded on… clearly, not the best thing to do, in retrospect.
- I write widely and of late, regularly as well about issues relating to young people. This is an entry I wrote just before graduating last year and it was liked a 1.7k times and shared over 400 times just in a month. From the many comments I’ve received I started to empathize and realize that a lot of young people like myself walk out of college, wanting a lot more in their lives but are mostly afraid of stepping into the unknown. Thankfully for myself in mid of 2011, I founded my own training and coaching practice to take my one baby step towards realizing my dream as an international trainer and coach. And don’t you say, it was Satan distracting me from finding a real job.
- After a good 3 to 4 years coaching and training and setting my business proper in June 2011, I currently work with young professionals on one end in training as well as attract a growing crowd of senior executives who somewhat find solace in the space I create for them. One that’s non-judgmental, non-threatening and encouraging for them to express who they really are without inhibitions. I focus on what works and I believe that everyone deserves their chance to shine on stage in their own skin.
- Which comes to my agenda proper today, how “PSI-FI” is the way to understand Gen-YsWhen you think of Gen-Ys, don’t think of us as elusive, incredulous and invested in a world of our own. We may be a different animal altogether but we are nonetheless, looking for basic needs of love, affirmation and acceptanceMore so, use PSI-FI as a way of getting to the core of who we are
- We want possibilities to work for, not just a job or task to work onTell us what kind of impact we can potentially make and not just how money we can earn, well that’s important, but that’s a topic for a talk another day. But yes, tell us how our actions and inactions can actually change the status quo for ourselves, the organizations, the community and the world around. We are not asking you to connect the dots for us, but in leading us, you need to be able to paint us a picture that excites us
- Gangly, wide-eye – boss, not Mr. Autocrat First day of work at an accounting firm, I was excited to learn and discover more about the firm. The meeting lasted for a grand 5 minutes and was the only time I saw my boss for the entire month. He told me this is for you to read…
- What do Gen-Ys really want?
- We are social animals… we are unabashed in sharing about what we think, what we feel, what troubles us and of course, what we had for breakfast. We use new media services as our verbs, like Twitter this event or Facebook it and if you don’t get it, Google it?A little brain teaser for everyone here, where’s pinterest?
- Dave Caroll, 13 million, parody of his incident. Their MD of customer service, Rob Bradford, even called Dave to apologize for the foul-up and requested the video to be internal training.And from a speaker standpoint, became a speaker on customer service and he even has a book now. Maybe, he can find a place at Ron Kaufman’s Up Your Service College.

- Give us something to hold on to… we are not trees or lamp post huggers but we are a generation that thrives on the stickiness of ideas. Don’t tell us how good your company or organization is, but tell us what are some of the most amazing stories you’ve did. And if you do a good job in telling the stories well and it’s sticky, count on us to be your free marketing spokesperson.
- We are individualistic and often when we think of this term, we think of it with a negative connation that we are egoistic and self-centered. Not that they are wrong per se, but to look at it objectively, we are born as a generation to stand out, not fit in or blend with. To stand out means to forge your own identity and bearing so instead of burying our talents and personality, think of ways of how you can uplift us.
- Cloths of heaven by WBY – symbolism of love for someone dear to you. “Tread softly because you tread on my dreams”Not as a form of handling and communicating us because we can stand much more but as an intention behind how you relate to us. We don’t need you to mollycoddle or pander to us all the time, but within reasonable constraints, explain to us, lead us, guide us and let our dreams take your organizations to the next level.
- We are fickle because of the barrage of information coming from us at all directions. We are always piqued by new trends and developments and inspired. And such is the times we live in! No more black and white vision but one that promises endless possibilties and identities. If you can be an accountant by the day and adventurer by the night, what’s stopping us. Our lives are in constant flux.We thrive on associative and nonlinear learning so make things fun for us if you want to engage us.
- Attention-starved generation.
