Building Bridges: Cross-Generation Workplace Collaboration
Join us for an engaging panel discussion that moves beyond generational stereotypes to explore how professionals across career stages can build meaningful connections and collaborate effectively in today's workplace.
What to Expect: This isn't your typical "Gen Z vs. Boomers" conversation. Our panelists will share real talk about navigating organizational structures, adapting to technological change, and creating workplaces where different career stages and experiences are seen as assets, not obstacles.
We'll explore:
How to build authentic professional relationships across age and experience gaps
Practical strategies for intergenerational mentorship
What different generations actually want in the workplace
How to advocate for yourself and others in intergenerational teams
Featured Panelists:
Darius Peyton II | Program Manager, SEL & Equity Advocate & Public Speaker
Amy Van Aarle | Storyteller, Brand Builder & Creative Marketer
Colin Mincy | C-Suite Culture Architect & Enterprise Transformation Leader
Veronica Donato | Scientific & Regulatory Affairs Strategist
Wayne Johnson | Artificial Intelligence (AI) Consultant, International IT Recruitment & Project Manager
Who Should Attend: Early career professionals, mid-career changers, seasoned leaders, career coaches, HR professionals, and anyone interested in building stronger workplace relationships and networks across generations.
Format: Panel discussion followed by networking and Q&A. Come ready to connect, learn, and challenge your assumptions about what "generational differences" really mean.
