"Millenials, McLuhan and Slow Dancing: Understanding the Generation Gap"

For the last six years Dr. Mary, a mentoring system designer, has been studying mentoring and leadership. This entertaining talk, based on her research, brings to life the differences between millenials and everyone else. Using McLuhan's theory of extension and amputation to frame social media Mary explains the generation gap, and the leadership techniques that have been proven to bridge this gap.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
