Today’s workplaces bring together multiple generations, each shaped by different experiences, communication preferences, and expectations. These differences can strengthen teams, but they can also lead to misunderstandings, frustration, and missed opportunities for connection. This interactive session takes a deeper dive into generational communication, exploring how and why communication styles vary, what influences those preferences, and how to adapt in ways that build understanding and trust.
