It's gotten way harder to lead employees in the workplace. More Boomers are sticking around than expected; we still haven't figured out how to cope with Millennials (even though they are the largest generation in the workforce); AND to make things even more challenging, say hello to Gen Z!
With employees spanning three and four and generations in the office, the stage is set for disaster for anyone still lagging in their ability to engage in the new workplace reality. Every generation in the workplace has value and each has their own strengths, their own weaknesses and their own unique talents. Each is indispensable, and when they come together as a synergistic force, they can be unstoppable! 
This highly engaging and interactive session will detail proven strategies that you can implement now to engage with people of all ages in the workplace even as they exhibit wildly different ideas about work ethic, work-life balance, and long-term career goals. After this session, you’ll understand how to embrace the wisdom of age while also valuing the contributions of youth.
