Let’s Talk About Age: Building and Leading Stronger Intergenerational Teams

For the first time in history, we have 5 generations in the workforce at the same time. While age plays an important part in our perspectives and upbringing, it is often left out of workplace conversations around culture and diversity. More than that, we often tell people to actively NOT ask about age, but this cannot be ignored anymore. From Gen Z to Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers, these differences must be explored together or a misunderstanding and divide will grow. So, how do we increase empathy and understanding between generations? How do we motivate different generations? How do we bridge generational divides as the world or work moves toward hybrid and remote settings? In this dynamic and humorous keynote, Bailey Parnell combines over a decade of research into multigenerational dynamics with practical experience in global workplaces to teach audiences how to foster intergenerational understanding so that all feel welcome and productive, regardless of AND because of age.
 

Bailey Parnell’s unique keynote style incorporates a combination of short, interactive exercises to engage audiences and help ensure attendees retain what they learn! Imagine a keynote speaker with a bit of what you love about workshops all in one.
