EXPERT ALERTS

Can Millennials Live Their Best Life – Now and in the Future?
Brooke Forbes
Senior Vice President, Digital Planning and Advice, Personal Investing
Fidelity
"Millennials take a lot of heat for splurging on little luxuries from seasonal lattes to avocado toast. Despite this often over-exaggerated reputation, our research shows that this generation is able to successfully balance treating themselves today with saving for the future. However, one force risks holding millennials back: social media. Constant exposure to filtered photos of friends indulging in a fancy meal out or a trip to Thailand fuels 'FOMO' and creates a magnified 'keeping up with the Joneses' mentality. Despite this temptation, millennials display strong financial habits—mastering the balance between enjoying life today and putting away money for tomorrow."
Forbes can speak to Fidelity Investments' 3rd Millennial Money Study, including millennials' spending and saving behaviors and attitudes, how social media impacts their finances, and how to master the balancing act between near and long-term financial priorities.

Veterans as Employees: How Employers Can Do Right By Veterans
Beth Zoller, JD
Legal Editor
XpertHR
New Jersey
Veterans Day is a great reminder of the positive qualities and attributes veterans can bring to an organization as valuable employees. Beyond their experience, expertise, leadership and strong work ethic, veterans also bring creativity, dedication and resilience. Says Zoller: "However, so many veterans still face challenging issues in the workplace, including discrimination, harassment based on disabilities and the denial of leave requests." So how can an employer continue to do right by veterans who have given so much of themselves to their country?
Zoller covers topics related to discrimination and harassment, diversity, employee privacy, employee handbooks and workplace conduct. She has been quoted in numerous publications, including The Huffington Post, Inc., Fast Company and Business Insider, and is a contributor to XperHR's blogs. She has also been a guest on Wall Street Journal Radio and Dow Jones MarketWatch Radio, and a speaker at conferences for Delaware SHRM, New York State SHRM and HR Houston.. Zoller holds a Juris Doctor degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Prior to joining XpertHR, she represented employers in a variety of employment-related matters involving discrimination and harassment claims, contract disputes, restrictive covenant and trade secret issues, and wage and hour disputes.

Opportunities in the Electric Vehicle Market
Chandrasekar Iyer
Visiting Research Fellow
Clayton Christensen Institute, from Tata Consultancy Services
Boston, MA
With automakers and startups racing to win in the Electric Vehicle market, where are the most promising opportunities for growth, and how can companies position themselves to capture it and stay competitive in the long run? Says Iyer: "Electric auto makers are engaged in an 'arms race' to increase range and performance. But this strategy won't help them unleash new waves of growth in emerging markets where people can't afford cars. Instead, they need to build low-cost, no-frills cars and sell them to people who would otherwise use a bike to get to work."
Iyer's research report, "Driving Disruption: Catching the Next Wave of Growth in Electric Vehicles", was published November 6, 2018. The report can be found at http://bit.ly/DrivingDisruption.

To Reach Your Goals, Stop Selling Yourself Short
David Cunningham
Performance Expert, Forum Leader
Landmark
"You are the easiest person to sell out on. You'll sell out on yourself in two seconds! If you commit to taking three walks a week, for example, and you only take two, no one knows but you, right? So, who cares? The problem is, it's an even bigger cost when you break your word to yourself than it is when you break it to other people because you can't even listen to your own word anymore. You begin to degrade your own perception of your personal integrity. Here are three tips for embracing integrity: 1) You can't have high performance without integrity. Integrity is just another word for wholeness. If you're trying to win the Tour de France without a spoke, you're going to fall short of your goal regardless of how good you are because you're incomplete. 2) Integrity isn't about making things easier. Integrity doesn't require you to like it and it doesn't exist to make life easier. It's just necessary, like a computer cord is necessary for the computer to run more than a certain amount of time. It's not "bad" if it doesn't have its cord. It's just not complete — it doesn't have integrity — and it won't work. 3) Make your word the most important thing. In order to access high performance, your word has to occur for you like it is the most important thing, even if you only gave your word to yourself. It's not about who or what you gave your word to; it's the fact that you gave your word. When your actions align with your word rather than with your thoughts or feelings at any given moment, that's when breakthrough performance happens."
Cunningham, M.Ed., is a communication expert and a senior program leader and a Landmark Forum leader with Landmark, successfully leading programs to hundreds of thousands of people around the world since 1991. He earned a Master's in Education from Connecticut State University and a Bachelor's in Education from the University of Connecticut. Prior to Landmark, Cunningham served as the Director of the Connecticut Justice for Children Collaboration and the Director of Chapter Development for the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse.
