In this half-day leadership seminar on Generational Differences, participants will learn best practices for leveraging the generational mix from other departments/organizations, gain a deeper understanding of how their personal generational membership/affiliation impacts their workplace behavior and employee development, recognize age diversity as a strategic advantage for their department/organization and discuss strategies for bridging the generation gaps at work.

This insightful and interactive seminar will help participants understand more fully the personalities, strengths, challenges and development opportunities of the four generations presently in the workplace: Traditionalists (born between 1922-1943), Baby Boomers (1943-1960), Generation X (1960-1980) and Millenials (1980 - present and beyond). Participants will explore together how to effectively work with, develop, manage and lead colleagues of various ages and work experience.
