Working Across Generations: Beyond the Stereotypes
Five generations in one workplace, and we're still pretending the tension is about work ethic or technology. This workshop exposes how ageism flows in all directions and why generational conflict is often about power, respect, and whose experience counts as expertise. We'll unpack why "OK Boomer" and "lazy millennials" are symptoms of deeper exclusion, how different generations mask similar needs with different language, and what happens when we stop treating age diversity as a problem to solve. Participants will learn to recognize how generational bias intersects with other forms of discrimination, challenge assumptions about who's "digital native" versus who's "seasoned," and build bridges that honor both institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives. Because innovation needs both wisdom and disruption.
