"From Friction to Flow: Working With Generational Difference, Not Against It," presented by Dr. Binta Brown, LPC, CCC on Tuesday, June 16th from noon to 1 p.m.
Five generations are currently active in today's workforce — each shaped by a different era, a different relationship with work, and a different set of assumptions about how teams should function. That difference produces real friction. And while most of us have been trained to treat friction as a problem, it is often something more useful: a signal that expectations, communication styles, or assumptions have never been made explicit.
This session takes an honest look at what generational difference actually looks like on teams — where it shows up, where it gets misread, and where it may hold people back. We'll also examine what the research does and doesn't tell us about generational identity, including why birth year alone doesn't always tell the full story. Participants will leave with the BRIDGE Framework — six practical, low-lift strategies for working across generational lines that don't require slowing down, a budget, or anyone's approval to begin using.
Designed for anyone navigating a multigenerational workplace — whether you lead a team or work on one.
