Training to Re-Generate Your Age-Diverse Workforce for High-powered Results
What price do you pay for generational gaps and blind spots? Conflict? Decreased performance? Missed opportunities?
What could happen if you and your workforce uncovered and embraced the validity of each generation’s viewpoint – and learned how to empower others based on their strengths? The SpeakStrong Method has tools to help you transform intergeneration tension to intergenerational collaboration.
Workforce dynamics are changing. There has always been generational discord at work, but what’s different now, is who needs to adapt to whom. Because intergenerational discord is not simply a clash of age groups anymore, it’s a sign that the department or entire organization is bumping up against current trends in business communication.
Got Generational Landmines?
Or Generational Goldmines in Disguise?
You could be tiptoeing around generational landmines that are generational goldmines in disguise. The very trait or characteristic that leads one generation to judge, excoriate and dismiss another is the same trait that, managed well, can complement and empower the entire team. When generations collide, it often signals impending breakthroughs of insight and golden opportunity.
Every intergenerational complaint carries an intergenerational opportunity with it – a chance to collaborate and expand rather than collide and shut down into factions with battle lines drawn. You just need to navigate between the generations with grace and skill.
Tap into Tales from the Front: Between “Gen Yes Sir!” and “Gen Why Not?”
Every generation has its stories. The key to intergenerational communication and collaboration is in sharing those stories. Shared stories help us walk in another generation’s shoes. Those stories open the door to honest dialog that dissolves generational barriers.

- Open the door for authentic conversation between generations.
- Learn how each generation likes to be treated from the true experts – each generation.
- Discover and move beyond our own generational blind spots.
- Find the gift in generational traits that once drove you crazy.
- Learn how to leverage the contribution of each generation.

The SpeakStrong Method Approach – Hands-on Engagement with Fast, Lasting Results
The SpeakStrong approach to intergenerational training is not theoretical. This is an intergenerational engagement program that invites, inspires and sometimes pushes people to show up authentically. That means putting all the barriers to effective intergenerational communication on the table and untangling them one at a time. No one gets to dial it in. Everyone owns the problem and the responsibility for a solution.
It starts with the complaints. It moves to the desires. It continues to the solution until every person in the room owns a piece of the task of creating a workplace where generations support each other for the success of the organization.
