    The Gen Y Challenge – Gloves Are Off!

    11/02/20161 min read
    The Gen Y Challenge – Gloves Are Off!

    At a conference this week I challenged my 27 year-old Associate, Aurelie Krau, to surpass me in Twitter followers within 6 months.  Now she’s presently 280 followers behind me (at 9 hundred and something to my 1,233) and I have, theoretically, a 20 year head start in building a network so its not an easy task… but c’mon…she’s Gen Y…this is her thing!  So it will be interesting to see what happens.

    If she loses, by 27th April 2016, then she must perform her next public presentation after that date in a bowler hat (if you don’t know why, just check out my brand at www.festive-road.com ). If I lose the same applies.  I don’t want to look stupid, so I need your help to beat the Gen Y at her own game.

    If you don’t presently follow me on Twitter, but  are interested in business travel perspectives please add me to your follow list on Twitter.

    Just go to https://twitter.com/paultilstone and lets see how Gen Y fares!

    Paul Tilstone is Founder and CEO of Festive Road
