The Connection Advantage: How Great Leaders Build Teams Across Generations
About this Event
SESSION 1:
Turning Generational Differences into a Competitive Advantage
Why Teams Are Eroding, and How to Reconnect a Multigenerational Workforce
Today’s workplace has more generations working side by side than ever before, yet many teams are becoming increasingly disconnected. Different expectations around communication, leadership, technology, flexibility, and work itself can create friction, and as AI transforms how work gets done, those differences are becoming even more pronounced.
But generational differences don’t have to divide a team. Used well, they can become a competitive advantage.
Wall Street Journal bestselling author and generations expert Ryan Jenkins reveals what’s driving team erosion, why Gen Z is challenging many long-held assumptions about work, and what leaders need to understand about today’s multigenerational workforce.
Attendees will gain a fresh perspective on the forces reshaping work and practical strategies for turning generational differences from a source of friction into greater understanding, collaboration, and connection.
Audiences Gain:
- Insight into why teams are eroding and how changing generational expectations are contributing to disconnection.
- A clearer understanding of Gen Z and what their arrival reveals about the changing expectations of the entire workforce.
- Practical strategies to reduce generational friction and strengthen communication and collaboration.
- A new approach for turning generational differences into an advantage for their teams and organizations.
SESSION 2
Team Binding™: How to Build All-In Multigenerational Teams
Moving Beyond Team Building to Create Stronger, More Connected Teams
Understanding generational differences is only the beginning. The bigger question is: How do we intentionally create teams where people across generations trust one another, work well together, and want to stay connected?
Traditional team building creates moments of connection. Team Binding™ creates an ongoing system for strengthening it.
Building on the first session, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ryan Jenkins introduces Team Binding™, a practical approach for creating stronger, more connected teams across generations. Through an interactive, workshop-style experience, attendees will explore the specific behaviors and disciplines that create trust, alignment, and support...and learn how to make connection something their teams practice continuously, not occasionally.
Attendees will leave equipped to turn the ideas from the day into practical actions they can immediately apply with their own teams.
Audiences Gain:
- A practical framework for strengthening trust, alignment, and support across generations.
- Specific Team Binding™ strategies that move teams beyond episodic team-building.
- Simple, repeatable practices for creating stronger connection in the flow of everyday work.
- An actionable plan for building a more connected, resilient, and all-in multigenerational team.
