With five generations currently in the workplace, many leaders view this dynamic as frustrating and challenging.
In this engaging workshop, you will go beyond the core concepts to activate and apply the strategies of Gentelligence to your organization’s unique generational challenges.
We will:
- Explore the barriers that often prevent organizations (and individuals) from effective intergenerational collaboration.
- Conduct an assumption audit to push beyond lazy stereotypes to understand generational and age differences as a valuable and complex form of diversity.
- Practice replacing generational judgment with curiosity.
- Examine how to develop organizational cultures that normalize intergenerational learning and collaboration.
- Learn how to have smarter intergenerational conversations using power questions.
