Stop Acting Your Age!

Matt Havens, Generational Expert, Keynote Speaker

If you’ve listened to any other discussion about generational issues at work, then you’ve undoubtedly been told there are four distinct generations operating side-by-side in today’s working world. If you’ve ever been frustrated by how impossible it seems to employ four different strategies to manage four distinct generations, then this session is exactly what you need. Because it turns out that there really aren’t four generations. In this keynote, you’ll learn a simpler way of looking at your own generational picture; understand the key cultural, technological, and social changes that have conspired to create a disconnect between team members; and walk away with several immediately application strategies to address and eliminate problems caused by the disconnect.
