Nandi Shareef is a Millennial pursing her PhD in organizational development while also working full time as a global training manager. I first met Nandi at ASTD's 2012 International Conference and Exposition, and I could tell she was taking in all the conference had to offer and was a high-energy, driven professional. We met again at the Academy of Management annual meeting in Boston this summer and the flood gates of ideas opened. She's now guest blogging each week, presenting a session on Millennials in the workplace at ASTD's 2013 International Conference and Exposition in Dallas, and serves as an adviser for ASTD's student and young professional outreach.
