Building Bridges Across Generations in the Workplace
Date: April 3, 2008

Generational gaps in today’s workplace have never been wider. There are diverse generations working side by side, each with a different set of values, beliefs, life experiences, world views and attitudes towards the workplace. In working relationships, these differences can result in disagreements and motivate us to re-examine the way we work together. Attend this workshop to identify generational differences; recognize and understand the impact generational differences have on teamwork; better understand your perceptions and interpretations of the various generations, their behaviors, and attitudes; and create an individual action plan to help you better communicate with your team.

Attend this workshop to learn how to enhance your influence at work, discuss power versus influence, learn tips for building influence and support, learn to communicate assertively, and develop an action plan to build and use your influence back on the job.
