Podcast Episode 69 – Embrace the Future of Medicine: Hiring and Working with Millennials – Dr. Phillip Zimmerman

Episode 69 – Are you a Millennial? Do you work with or employ Millennials? If the answer to either question is yes, then you need to listen to this episode! The Millennial generation is unique relative to its Generation X and Baby Boomer forebears. They are more educated, more technologically-savvy, and more independent-minded than the generations that came before them. So, how do we start to figure out how to integrate them into our businesses? Thankfully, today’s guest is Dr. Phillip Zimmerman, and he has the answers for us.
In his book, “Unleash the Millennials and Save the World,” Dr. Zimmerman helps us clarify the desires of the Millennials. Today, he’s going to help us unlock their talents and figure out what it takes to set them up for success. Millennials are the biggest percentage of the workforce today, and they’re not going anywhere. So, we’ve got to figure out how to work with them. If you ARE a Millennial, this conversation will help you figure out how to get ahead in a company run by Boomers and Gen. X’ers. Whatever your stage of career, this conversation has something important for you.

Get on the waitlist for Residency-Proof Your Marriage!
I’m excited to tell you about a new online course I’m launching called “Residency-Proof Your Marriage.” I’ve seen way too many couples get divorced or see their relationships go sour during their medical career. Medical training is an inherently divisive time, so you have to work to combat that!
This online video course will coach you through setting expectations, communicating effectively, getting on the same page with finances, and keeping your relationship thriving during a difficult time. Whether you’re in medical school, residency, or out in clinical practice, Residency-Proof Your Marriage is going to help you build a thriving medical marriage.
This is a very inexpensive investment in your marriage. A weekend marriage retreat will cost upwards of $1000 between food, registration, lodging, and vacation time. This course is just a fraction of that cost and you can complete it on your own time!
Registration for the beta course is closed, but get on the waitlist for the course launch this fall!

Meet Dr. Phillip Zimmerman!
Dr. Zimmerman is a well seasoned entrepreneur in consulting, business, education, and coaching. His work ethic, application of learned skills, business acumen, and the grace of God created for him a multimillion dollar portfolio of personal assets with no debt by age 32.
Ten years later he took a break in his career path to pay forward to the next generation and became an educator of Millennial high school seniors. Here he learned of this brilliant technology oriented generation with high aspirational goals who held no allegiance to historic foundational footings in truth and justice.
He completed an organizational leadership doctorate program to help him understand the potential impact of this generation in the workplace and to envision how to best prepare the workplace for massive transformation.
Dr. Zimmerman, now an executive coach, helps business executives align, develop, and advance Millennial talent into key leadership roles following a workplace coaching program he developed and included in his book, Unleash the Millennials and Save the World.
Dr. Zimmerman launched a new podcast in July 2021 to help steer the culture in general back to the foundational principles of truth and justice. The podcast is entitled, Way of the Bible, and can be found on Apple Podcasts and other podcasting platforms.
