The most successful companies in the future will be the ones that find a way to inspire and tap into the abilities of the latest generation. A generation who grew up with the technological advances of the 21st and access to a world of information is equipped to help raise companies up if you can figure out how to motivate and work with them. This program discusses traits and tendencies of Millennials such as the Spotlight Effect, Fixed vs. Growth Mindset, the Digital Brain, Hacking mentality, gamification and more. Included are best practices for working with, training, encouraging, supporting, and managing tomorrows workforce.

Life is Change

Socrates once said, "Perfection is constant change." Life is change. Day in and day out the thing that remains constant is change. Judson combines laughter inducing stories with thought-provoking ideas to drive home the point that we are in the constant presence of change.

His stories, personal experiences, crowd participation, high energy, and laughter help people recognize how to let go of the things out of their control, and focus their energies on things they can change. Judson's finale, The Evolution Of Dance will leave your audience with an unforgettable message, one which will remind each participant that "Life is Change," and that they have the ultimate control over the outcome.

The Paradoxes of Life

Using life's contradictions and paradoxes, Judson's program reminds the audience of life's delicate balances. At time one may have to do the opposite in order to achieve a desired result, make a change to move forward, fail in order to succeed, forget in order to remember. The more that is learned - the more reality surfaces and we realize how little we really know.
