(Don’t Get) Lost in Translation:

Learn the Language of Other Generations 

What happens when generations don’t communicate? Roles blur; phone calls, emails and texts are not answered; information slips through the cracks; deadlines are missed. Even the best teams can lose up to 30% of their efficiency when people don’t connect across generational lines. Learn the communication styles and patterns of each generation and the words and behaviors that bridge the generation gaps. Audience members leave this presentation with new tools for hearing and being heard by other generations.

Generations: Finding Common Ground

Work in teams or work alone? “Tell me now,” or save it for the review? Free agent or here to stay? the answers lie in generational differences. Explore each generation’s experience and learn communication techniques that work when generations clash. You’ll leave this session with ideas for encouraging collaboration and preventing conflict.
