Gen Y; Millennials; Echo Boomers; the Trophy Generation; Net Y Not. Google “managing” any of those
terms and you’ll receive hundreds of thousands of hits. The literature positively explodes with deep
insight and pop psychology on how to deal with younger employees—professionals in their mid-20s to
early 30s.How do you recruit, hire,
manage and survive with younger, rising executives who may not speak your language or respect your
values? If the Millennials receive most of their validation from outside of their professional network,
what leverage does the leadership of your organization have to shape raw talent into valuable current
and future leaders?
Kay Lummitsch's keynote was a real wake-up call to Sri Lankan organizations to adapt to Digital. He shared his wide experiences on almost every aspect of a Digital Journey.
The Audience realized that the most common pitfalls on the path towards Digital, are industry agnostic and surprisingly to more than seventy percent not reliant on technology issues. Lummitsch stated that organizations would fail if they focus on technological and structural change only (What they typically do ˜ Lummitsch).
His advice is to engage equally in every aspect of any ‘Living System. [Organisation]
Changing the Mindset. Coaching, mentoring and personal development are his preferred tools here.
Changing Behavior & Communication We should rethink how we work and communicate with each other in the future.
Technology & Structures. Of course!. Adopt to modern team setups and bleeding-edge technologies.
Changing the organization's Culture. If we won’t change our organization’s culture, we’ll never adapt to Digital ˜Lummitsch
Furthermore, he emphasized that the main difference from past leadership models to Digital Leadership roles is, that Digital Leaders have to love people whereas past leaders were impelled to feel superior.
QUOTE:
There is no change towards Digital if it doesn't hurt you in every bone and questions your personal role on a daily base - Kay Lummitsch (The Digital Journeyman)

#1 reason why start up fails is because they don’t validate their idea. And the secret of success behind any startup is to validate their product or services using positive feedback loop & other methods.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
