Program description:
Dr. Caryn Stanley and Mr. Corey Taubr return with fresh insights, sharper strategies -and yes, the Wheel-o-Slang makes an appearance! This time, the focus goes beyond decoding Gen Alpha; it's about reshaping workplace culture to truly support generational diversity. You'll dive into what makes Gen Alpha tick, what's disrupting long-held norms across generations, and how to bridge the gap without turning every cross-generational exchange into an NPC moment (non-playable character: someone who seems disengaged or stuck in outdated habits). Expect research-backed insights, interactive discussion, and practical tools to build a workplace that's inclusive, future-ready, and dare we say rizz-worthy.
