00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: and she's also had a tennis center named after her.

00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: to tell us about some of the latest findings in

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: their millennial work. Welcome, Thank you both for being here.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Billy Jen King, it is a little

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: bit uh awe inspiring to be in the same room

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: with you because of all of yours. Don't worry. I'm

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: as a blue collar kid from long Reach, California. So

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: that in a public bar kids, Okay, Well, that's in

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the National Tennis Center of the one that was that

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: has my name on it now, I can't say I'm

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: too embarrass is actually a public park. I don't think

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: people realize that sometimes. Well that that all. That all

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: leads me to my right question, because you have something

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: called the Billy Ching King Leadership Initiative, and I'm wondering

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: if you could describe that in the context of what

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: Stephanie has been working on having to do with millennials

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: and leaders. Well, when we started the Billyging King Leadership Initiative,

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: I said, we've got to have some data. We can't

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: just talk about what's going on in the workplace because

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: what we want to do in our with the Leadership

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: Initiative is to change the workplace to be more inclusive

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: where people can be their authentic. So so Delay, Deloitte

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: and US teamed up and they have been unbelievable because

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: without Delote, we couldn't really have started the Leadership Initiative

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: without them. So they've come up with all kinds of

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: data about millennials because, believe it or not, you know,

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: millennials are going to be the workforce's not very just

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: a few years from now, so uh, it's very important

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: and what they're thinking, what they're feeling, what's going to

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: drive them? Uh, what's going to give them purpose? And

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: that's the things that Deloitte went out and continue to

42
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: collect data on what the millennials are feeling and thinking,

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: especially in the workplace. We want to go to the

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: data in just a minute, but I also want to

45
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: ask you from your perspective in the tennis world. Uh,

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: so many tennis players start out long before their millennials

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: and they're like three years old exactly, you know. And

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: we we've had Nick Bleteria and once again we did

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: our show out at the Open for a couple of days,

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: was growing out that he's he's best tennis Hall of Fame,

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: et cetera. But what do you see in your in

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: your in yourself growing up and when you look at

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: kids now, how are they different from us, from us

54
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: older folks when we were at that point in our lives.

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: What do you see? Well, first of all, they still

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: have some of the same problems and that's excess to

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: get started. I would say that access is a challenge

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: no matter what. But as they get going at they

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: show promise. Uh they have there's more money, there's better coaching,

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: better nutritional and information on how to train all the

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: things that I would have loved have had growing up

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: as far as information, and that's what where technology is

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: so important and continues to you know, the software just

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: exponentially keeps changing all the time. I mean, it's just

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: you can't keep up with the software. The hardware is

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit easier, but it's it's

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: unbelievable what that brings to the table about for stats,

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: when you play, gives you it gives you instantaneous feedback. Um,

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: it's just amazing. What I would love to be a

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: kid today playing I do think, Uh, if you show promise,

71
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: usually someone will help you, will sponsor you, or mentor you. Um.

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: But it's amazing what's happening. And then you know, I

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: retired at forty, went into Team Tennis World Team Tennis,

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: which is about equality. We have men and women on

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: the same team. And now the the Ability and King

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Leadership Initiative. If you think about it's just an extension

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: of what I've always believed in since I was twelve,

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: and that is fighting for equal rights and opportunities for

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: boys and girls, may women, for all genders. Uh. And

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: I knew I was so lucky to have a platform

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: that tennis is and tennis is global. But I knew

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I had to be number one if I was going

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: to try to help change the world, not just my

84
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: own tiny university tennis, but help others and help the

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: world to be a better place. And I have inclusion.

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: And as a girl, I already knew that life was

87
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: going to be different, that people would not probably listen

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: to me, but I thought, if at least be number one,

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: maybe they will. But thank god, you know, tennis is global.

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I think it gave me an unbelievable platform. Sports were

91
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: very fortunate to have it. Stephanie Turner, I want you

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: to come in and tell us how is the millennial

93
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: majority going to transform the culture that we live in. Yeah, well,

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: I think in Billy, you have created this amazing platform

95
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: that we can conduct the research on. And what our

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: research is showing is that technology is an accelerator. Millennials

97
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: want purpose in the organizations, but they're using technology in

98
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: every form that they have to be an accelerator. And

99
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: how they collaborate, communicate, how they become innovative in their

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: work that drives that purpose, and then also and how

101
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: they seek work like flexibility. This is a generation that

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: wants to solve problems fast, and they want to be

103
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: able to do it wherever they are around the globe,

104
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: and they want to be able to do it with

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: whoever is around the globe. They don't want to be

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: confined to an office or a particular area of solving

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: those problems. Okay, well, we know that lots of times

108
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: stereotypes and jokes have some truth in them. And when

109
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: you see all the jokes right about, oh they expect this,

110
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Oh they don't want to do that. Oh they want

111
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: to go in and get a raise. Um, you know

112
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: three months after there there is there any truth? Is

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: that the downside of a millennial. So so I think

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: that part of what our research has done is actually

115
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of myth busted the generation that we

116
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: once knew it. Right, So, this is a generation that

117
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: has since matured. They are in their thirties, they are

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: leaders in our organizations today. They are at least fifty

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: per scent of the workforce, and like Billy said, they're

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: going to the workforce. This is a generation that is

121
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: very ambitious. To your point, they do want to be

122
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: able to excel, and they want to excel quickly, but

123
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: they want the right tools and experiences and that purpose

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: in the organization to be able to do it well.

125
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: They also seem to live through the financial recession of

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: two thousands in Tennis bad. You have a bad run

127
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: at times. What do you find reminded me of my

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: parents a little because they were depression parents. And of

129
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: course I don't think it's as tough as back in

130
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the thirties, but it was still. I mean, I have

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: god children who are still having trouble finding jobs. It's

132
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: it's tough, and I'm saying, you know, you remind me

133
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: of the old days when there was a depression. So

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: I think it's very sobering when you go through that experience.

135
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: But I also think they're very resourceful. I think they're innovative.

136
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: I think the kids want to do good. I think

137
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: if you look at the elections even how excited they

138
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: were to be a part of it. And hopefully we

139
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: can keep them involved that but they are going to

140
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: be are there are future leaders. There are leaders now

141
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and our future. So we have to find a way

142
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: to be inclusive and each other, help each other the

143
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: best we can, and that's where the boomers have a

144
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: chance to mentor But you know, what I feel like

145
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the millennials are mentoring me sometimes, especially when it comes

146
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: to technology. But I think it's really important that we

147
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: that we have more equality in the workplace. I want

148
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: equal pay for equal work. I want more women in

149
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: the c suite. I want not only just white women,

150
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean all women. I want people that live with disabilities.

151
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I just want inclusion. That's what I want. I want

152
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: and now people have a voice. When I was growing up,

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: we were fighting so hard to just to get a

154
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: seat at the table. Now people expect to have a voice,

155
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: and it's so much healthier. You're making me think. We're

156
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: at the Pershing Insight conference down in Florida earlier this year,

157
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: I believe it was in June. One of the executives

158
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 1: was giving a ted talk the event about and and

159
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: and his mentor, a millennial was with him and they're

160
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: can back and forth on how older people can be

161
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: mentored by millennials. How about you both The comments starting

162
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: with you, steffany something you encourage people to do something

163
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: that makes a difference. Yeah, I think so. And Deloitte's

164
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: done this. We have millennials and leadership positions that are

165
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: also doing what we would call reverse mentoring um. But

166
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: also we're seeing this with our clients more often than not.

167
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Our clients are starting to say, we want our millennials

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: to reverse mentor us because we want to understand how

169
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: this generation thinks. We also recognize that it's not at

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: the sacrifice of other generations. So a lot of the

171
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: things we found in the research, purpose, technology, innovation, collaboration

172
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: and benefits all. I think it's great. Listen, I'm always

173
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: asking the young ones. First of all, I'm still very
