Cross-Generational Communication

 

Let’s face it – we often find a communication, if not cultural gap, between the different generations that compose our workforce. Preferences for communication modes and styles can leave even the best functioning teams at a loss. Our Cross-Generational Communication workshop shares advice and best practices for bridging inter-generation divides in the workplace. Participants apply conceptual frameworks through a variety of fun, interactive activities that underscore the learning.

In addition to offering general advice for bridging generational differences, our team customizes workshops to offer prescriptive advice for specific intergenerational dynamics at play in your organization.

Ideas come alive through fun and interactive exercises and case studies, including customized role-play simulations that reflect the challenges they face at work.

They walk away better prepared to work with colleagues from different generations than their own.

• Manage cross-generational communication and relationships more effectively

The Practitioner Advantage

 

Each member of the Consensus team has more than fifteen years of field experience, working on behalf of clients as their negotiators and mediators. As practitioners, we routinely test and apply cutting edge strategies and theories as part of our various client situations, ranging from hostage situations to billion-dollar business transactions to political standoffs.

Accordingly, we are highly informed about the strengths inherent to different approaches and frameworks, and how various theoretical concepts would or would not apply to your contexts. Our practitioner experience translates into more concrete advice based on firsthand experience, a true understanding of how theories play out in the real world (and when popular ideas would fall short), and an ability to relate to professionals at all levels of seniority – including members of your C-suite.
