Effective Corporate Communication in a Modern Landscape

How can you adjust your communication strategies for modern employees?

While most of Dr. Coleman’s research and publications explore estrangement, at the heart of his studies is effective communication through new societal changes. More specifically, he looks at how we’ve arrived at today’s landscape.

For corporations, we see this change in a new era of employees who don’t buy into company culture and team mentality like previous generations. While organizations want people back in the office, united as a team, and working together, that can’t happen until you understand why employees are resisting it. Once you do, discourse becomes easier. In this keynote, Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. helps corporations, and the people that constitute them, better communicate in modern society.

Key Takeaways

• Communication strategies to increase teamwork, morale, and unity.
• Maximize your business by removing social confusion and better understanding your employees.
• Tools to more effectively communicate both at work and home.

New Rules For Parent-Adult Child Relationships: How to Keep Your Best Friend

While many parents want their child to be their best friend, nothing compels today’s adult children to stay in contact with a parent beyond an internal desire to maintain that relationship.

Even if parents aren’t estranged from their children, they still have to navigate a new territory previous parents didn’t. The framework that guided families for millennia…is gone. Today’s parents want a closer relationship with their children but have less authority, don’t have the same tools for engagement, and need to understand the therapeutic language their children have been brought up around.

For many parents, if their adult child doesn’t want to be close or spend time with them, many problems can arise.

Key Takeaways:

• Today’s parents must be much more psychological and growth-oriented to manage conflicts with their adult children. In addition, they have to speak the therapeutic language of their adult children. Learn how that looks and sounds.
• Discover the 5 most common mistakes parents make with their adult children, how to avoid them, and how to repair those mistakes.

The Gray Divorce: Challenges and Opportunities

People aged 55 to 60 are divorcing more than anyone. These divorces can result in division and estrangement between parents and adult children.

Divorce in general often creates a fundamental reshaping of alliances, which can place parents at risk for greater distance from their children. Additionally, it creates the opportunity for parental alienation where one parent consciously or unconsciously turns their child against the other parent. Both of which become more complex with adult children.

In this keynote, Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. will explain how to best approach your mid-life split, conflict resolution with children, and post-divorce life.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to date again when you are years out of practice.
• Reduce conflicts with adult children who don’t like the new person you’re dating or marrying.
• Discover how to use the divorce as an opportunity for growth and self-exploration.
