Working Across Generations
Different experiences do not have to divide a team.
Today’s workplace brings together people whose formative experiences, communication habits and expectations about work can be very different.
Those differences can create friction when people rely on assumptions. They can also become a source of insight, innovation and resilience when teams learn to ask better questions and understand one another.
Eddie uses research, humour and relatable stories to help audiences move past labels and build a workplace where every generation can contribute.
