As an organizational psychologist, Dr. Joanie Connell specialize in helping people be more effective in their jobs and happier in their careers. About 10 years ago, she stumbled across a big disconnect between how people were raising kids and what the kids were expected to do when they grew up and entered the workplace. This was the Millennial generation. Dr. Joanie has helped Millennials get the life skills they need to be successful and she works with others to learn to live with the new Millennial way of doing things. To do this, she challenges people to reassess their assumptions and stereotypes about Millennials, to ask the right questions to develop their leadership strategies and life skills to handle and plan for a changing world.
