Speeches & Workshops
Here are the most frequently requested topics for my speaking engagements and workshops today.
What Are They Thinking?! Why the Generations Clash in the Workplace
The four generations in today's workforce each have different assumptions about how the world works. Understanding the teen experiences that influenced current attitudes and behaviors creates empathy and provides practical insights on engaging each generation.
What Does It Mean to Work Here? A Signature Experience for Extraordinary Engagement
Everyone is measuring engagement, but efforts to improve it can be frustrating. The key is understanding the role of work in your employees' lives and creating an employee experience that leverages your firm's unique strengths.
Innovation & Collaboration: Bringing People and Ideas Together
Leaders must do three things to create an environment of innovation and collaboration - develop strong social networks throughout the organization, ask great questions, and introduce disruptive insights. Extensive research shows the best ways to do all three.
Why Gen X Has the Leaders We Need Today
Future leaders in all spheres will have to contend with a world with finite limits, no easy answers, and the sobering realization that we are facing significant, seemingly intractable problems on multiple fronts. The experiences that shaped those who were teens in the 1970s and 1980s provide valuable skills for today's world.
They're Here! Generation Y Enters the Workforce
Generation Y - the Millennials - may be confounding many managers, but their unique perspectives will bring innovative ideas to the workplace - how to work asynchronously, through coordination rather than planning, collaboratively, and alone. New approaches will engage and retain them.
The Future of Work in the Intelligent Economy
Much has changed since the days of the dot.com crash. Technology has continued to improve -- sophisticated search capabilities, data merging, forums to capture conversations and wisdom. And, the associated social changes have been perhaps even more dramatic -- individuals' growing comfort with online activities. What does this mean for the ways we work?

Tammy Erickson was a phenomenal success! Our President said it was the best presentation of that type that he’s ever heard and we are thrilled! We had people clamoring for copies of her presentation and it was a great idea to place her first on the program as she set the tone for the day and raised the bar considerably. It’s always a good sign when no one even gets up to grab coffee!

My heartfelt thanks for joining us at the IACPR Conference and for a truly inspirational presentation! Positioning you as our first speaker was the smartest thing we did – you set the tone for the rest of the conference and every speaker that followed you made reference to your remarks. You got tremendous feedback from everyone in the audience. Personally, I sure felt the reality check!
We have decided to purchase a copy of your book for each member who attended the conference; we felt that you made an enormous contribution to each of us. I think we each believe we have a responsibility to educate our companies – with a sense of urgency – about how to take action for the talent market ahead.
You have an open invitation to join us for any IACPR conference in the future; it would be our pleasure to have you back anytime.

I had the privilege of hearing Tammy’s presentation to the International HR meeting in Houston last Wednesday. It was most thought provoking and challenging and her presentation and delivery were excellent. It was my first time to hear her talk and in speaking with colleagues, they commented that ‘they always go hear her wherever she is. She is great.’ Well, you now have a new convert. Many of her points resonate with what our senior HR management have been saying.
