About Us

If you want to learn more about us, you’re in the right place. Read more to learn how we are helping executives share their expertise with the leaders of tomorrow.

As visionary leaders and advocates for change, PowerTalk Productions inspires corporate executives to give back to their communities with their own leadership advice and mentorship.

We are in the process of selecting dedicated business people with a heart to help the next generation with their business acumen, to be presented in our upcoming leadership platform.

 

Our mission is to empower socially conscious CEO’s and entrepreneurs to transform the world’s most pressing problems among teens and young adults.

  • Never before in the world have we seen four generations – much less five – in the workplace that bring such vastly different sets of values, beliefs and expectations.
  • Never before has society put so much pressure on organizations to be socially responsible.
  • Never before has technology made it so possible to connect anyone anywhere asynchronously as a collaborator.

 

So, what should you – and they – be learning in the future? Instead of greater amounts of more-specialized knowledge, we’re going to need:

  • Contextual knowledge – knowing the bigger picture and how all the parts fit together
  • Creative knowledge – having a skill set obtained by exposure to a wide variety of other creative humans
  • A deeper understanding of our own humanity – this will come only from listening to all forms of leadership . . . from parents, teachers, and pastors all the way to historians, anthropologists, neuroscientists and psychologists.

This type knowledge from massive sources is not found in universities or in any corporate apprenticeship programs. It can only be assembled from a massive variety of sources.

  • Every Gallup and Deloitte study, as well as MANY others show us that millennial’s are needing mentoring and leadership help above and beyond the initial training received.

By mentoring young people with leadership insight and vision, you will help save lives, promote individual purpose, and establish destiny in the lives of Millennial’s all over the world. 

  • Through your own insights, best practices and leadership, you will provide hope to the hopeless, help make dreams come true and possibly decrease the overwhelming depression and suicide statistics.
  • Leadership mentoring from leaders in other companies provides powerful opportunities for learning and cross pollination.

 

“We have designed a leadership platform that will not only engage THIS GENERATION, but also your employees, your existing customers, potential clients, suppliers, and everyone in your community. Our goal is to help stop this generation from changing jobs so frequently, communicate more effectively, stop committing suicide and get their stress levels manageable and off depression medicine. They need your direction, advice and encouragement.” Liz Morris, The Personality Doctor

Why Do Millennial Employees Need Strong Leadership?

New data shows that Millennials have surprisingly little faith in their managers

Millennials are currently the largest generation in the workforce, and they have a surprising lack of confidence in their managers.

According to a recent national survey conducted by Ultimate Software and The Center for Generational Kinetics (CGK), 80% of employees said they could do their job without their managers.

High Costs of Bad Leaders and Disengaged Employees

The evidence suggests many of today’s organizations are run by managers who aren’t particularly good leaders. And bad leadership leads to disengaged employees, mediocre performance, and higher attrition.

According to Gallup’s 2015 State of the American Manager, managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores across all business units. Additionally, disengaged employees cost up to $500 billion annually in productivity losses.

Trusting Leadership is Essential for Millennial Employees

Employers understand that managers substantially impact employee job performance, longevity and morale, but the Ultimate Software and CGK study confirmed that this relationship has a greater impact on employee satisfaction than any other factor.

Trust serves as the foundation for any relationship, and almost everyone surveyed said that having trust in their bosses was essential to workplace satisfaction. But while 80% of managers said they’re transparent with their teams, just 55% of employees agreed.

What stands out even more is that only 53% of employees felt like their managers actually cared about their well-being.

Invest in Leadership Development and Mentor Programs

To get the most out of all employees, regardless of generation, organizations must invest in leadership development. Less than half of today’s managers have a mentor to help them become a better manager; for Baby Boomers, it’s about one-in-four.

Plus, 45% of managers have never received any training at all. Many managers are expected to intuitively know how to coach and motivate their people, which clearly is not the case for most.
