Haydn did a wonderful job! He did an excellent job of tying his topics into the themes of other sessions and wove those topics in to his. We really appreciated his efforts and connection to our group.

Biography
Haydn Shaw is a leading expert on the multiple generations, leadership, change management, personal productivity, and trust. Why is my daughter drifting from God? Why can't I explain my life choices to my parents? He is the author of "Generational IQ: Christianity Isn't Dying, Millennials Aren't the Problem, and the Future is Bright". He also writes on generations and leadership for the Huffington Post. Generational IQ: Christianity Isn't Dying, Millennials Aren't the Problem, and the Future is BrightWhen will my son get a real job?Within the last several decades, the world has shifted dramatically. The cracks of this fundamental shift appear everywhere: in our economy, in our cultural debates, in our political landscape, and, most important, in our churches. The problem is we tend to overreact to these changes, fearing that Christianity is dying. We need better Generational IQ, so we can respond to the changes but not be terrified by them. We need a wise generational coach. Haydn Shaw is that generational expert, showing us the roots of this generational shift and how it affects every one of us. Each generation, whether it's the aging Boomers or the young Millennials, approaches God with a different set of questions and needs based on the times in which they grew up. Haydn walks you through these generational differences and paints a vision of hope for the future.

How do I pass on my faith to my children?
How do I pass on my faith to my children when they don’t respond to the things I find most meaningful about my faith? And what can I do now that my child is walking away from the faith? Two out of every three youth group graduates will drop out of church for at least a year between 18 and 23. One third will leave the faith and not come back. But there’s some amazing research that shows us what works and what pushes young people away.
Saving Sex for Marriage
Is it even possible for young people to save sex for marriage when they don’t marry until age twenty-eight?
The spiritual strengths and temptations of each of the four generations
Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials--we can’t relate to, love on, get along with, or most importantly reach and minister to other generations as well unless we understand their inherent spiritual strengths and vulnerabilities. Even more importantly, millions from each of the generations stay spiritually stuck because they to understand the temptations to which they are particularly vulnerable. Here are the spiritual temptations I address.
• Traditionalists: purposeless retirement and past over future orientation.
• Baby Boomers: giving psychology greater regard than Scripture for help in living daily life and church hopping.
• Gen Xers: cynicism and believing the philosophy “it may be true for you, but it’s not true for me”.
• Millennials: misapplying “judge not” in the name of diversity and the over focus on the kingdom of God at the expense of the church.
Is Christianity really going to be dead in three generations?
With Pew’s major report about the Nones all over the news and again on the front cover of USA Today yesterday, the people of faith are worried. And that leads to a bunker mentality or panic. It’s the question I get asked question most often and it opens wonderful conversations for what Christians can do in a pluralistic world where we no longer have home-field advantage.

Sticking Points
by Haydn Shaw
Updated with new findings on Gen Z!
With five generations in the workplace at once, there's bound to be some sticking points. This is the first time in American history that we have five different generations working side-by-side in the workplace: the Traditionalists (born before 1945), the Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964), Gen X (born between 1965-1980), Millennials (born 1981-2001) and Gen Z (born 1996-present). Haydn Shaw, popular business speaker and generational expert, has identified 12 places where the 5 generations typically come apart in the workplace (and in life as well). These sticking points revolve around differing attitudes toward managing one's own time, texting, social media, organizational structure, and of course, clothing preferences. If we don't learn to work together and stick together around these 12 sticking points, then we'll be wasting a lot of time fighting each other instead of enjoying a friendly and productive team. Sticking Points is a must-read book that will help you understand the generational differences you encounter while teaching us how we can learn to speak one another's language and get better results together.
