Session Overview
Currently, our workforce is experiencing four generations working together. Each brings unique values, styles, and characteristics to the job. At its best, this generational diversity can be a strategic advantage. However, there’s also the potential for generations to misunderstand and stereotype each other in ways that create conflict and misunderstanding. This highly engaging and interactive course is designed to help people of different generations work together more effectively. It includes presentations and activities that help participants understand the unique characteristics of each generation and, more importantly, what to do about it.
Duration: 75 minutes
Speaker Bio:
Greg Hessel:
Sometimes, all of us get a little stuck, so my work is about helping others get unstuck and staying that way. I’ve been doing this for over two decades by coaching individuals, building teams, and aligning organizations. Much of this work revolves around conflict resolution, managing change, and strategic planning. More fundamentally, however, I am a guide and navigator for difficult conversations, engaging trainings, and complex organizational dynamics.
My formal training began when I graduated from Woodbury College's Conflict Management certificate program and then earned a master’s in organizational development from American University in Washington DC. My less formal training involved hitchhiking over 100,000 miles; doing human rights documentation work in the war zones of Bosnia, El Salvador, and Nicaragua; and successfully helping negotiate the release of a kidnapped Italian clergy member in Central America. When I’m not helping organizations with thorny problems, I enjoy biking, ping pong, and watching my boys play sports.
