Closing The Generational Gap

Closing The Generational Gap
Empathize, Communicate, and Collaborate Across Generational Differences
For the first time in history, there are 4, in some cases 5, generations working alongside one another in the workplace. Differences across these generations can create frustration, tension and breakdowns in communication. These problems can stall productivity and create hostile work environments that lead to disengagement and dissatisfaction. Creating a culture where generational differences are understood, welcomed and even leveraged can result in higher performance, happier employees, and better places to work.

This unique and highly engaging program will engage every attendee, no matter the age, as they learn about the differences and similarities across the five generations in the workforce, and how each can be leveraged to create cross-generational synergy that drives results. Attendees will walk away understanding general characteristics of each generation, why these characteristics are as they are, and how they tend to show up at work.

Generations + Racial Equity

Generations + Racial Equity
Where & Why Generations And Racial Equity Intersect To Move Us Forward
The year 2020 showed us that our nation is as divided as ever, particularly on the topic of race and racism. It is this division that accompanies your employees and members every time they log on for work—causing anxiety, mental and emotional stress, and mistrust and skepticism of those with differing opinions.

Unbeknownst to many of us, much of this division is driven by a disconnect across generations on the severity and impact of systemic racism. Creating awareness around the generationally relative nature of racism, applying empathy, and learning to effectively collaborate across generations is truly our best path towards a racially equitable society and workplace.

In this informative and inspiring keynote, Raven breaks down the connection between equity and generations that every organization needs to know and lean into to thrive in a marketplace that is growing more racially and ethnically diverse by the decade. She helps attendees of all backgrounds understand how and why a generation can impact how they view, understand, and even combat racism. Attendees will leave with greater clarity on the role their generation can play in fighting for racial equity, and how to effectively collaborate with other generations in that pursuit.

How To Be An Antiracist Ally

How To Be An Antiracist Ally
Activate Your Allyship For Racial Equity
Many have recently experienced an awakening of sorts, concerning the reality of racial inequality and inequity in America, and have a deep desire to change. Others, on the other hand, have been aware of the problem, but unaware of how to be a part of the solution.

This desire to change met with bewilderment can cause stagnation and frustration, allowing the problem that effects the lives of many of your customers, team members, and loved ones to worsen. Now is the time for allies to be educated, activated, and empowered to create antiracist change both inside and outside of your organization.

In this program, Raven creates a welcoming safe space for aspiring allies to learn about the depths and severity of systemic racism in the U.S. and how to activate their antiracist allyship in their everyday professional and personal lives to close the gaps in inequity.

Leading Your Parents

Leading Your Parents
Manage, Lead & Influence Those Older Than You
Sooner than we think, Baby Boomers will no longer be the dominant generation in the workplace. They will soon retire, taking a wealth of institutional knowledge and experience with them and leaving all levels of leadership roles to be filled. Their succeeding generation, Gen X, is ready, but simply not large enough to fill them all. For this reason, companies are recruiting, hiring and training young talent to assume leadership positions traditionally filled after years of experience. The reality is that these young leaders are guiding team members their parents' age, which can be an uncomfortably intimidating task. Are they ready?

In this program, Raven will help prepare young leaders for the realities of the multigenerational workplace and the challenges of leading, directly or indirectly, within it as a young professional. She provides insights and proven strategies of multigenerational leadership, as covered in her book Leading Your Parents: 25 Rules of Effective Multigenerational Leadership for Millennials & Gen Z, as well as amusing stories and compelling research.

How to Be An Inclusive Leader

How to Be An Inclusive Leader
Foster A Culture Of Inclusion In Your Team Or Business
Inclusive Leadership can be a very elusive and ambiguous term. Yet, as the U.S. population grows more and more diverse and emerging markets strengthen around the globe, it is an emerging leadership capability that will be vital to the success of our workplaces and marketplaces in the very near future.

In this program, Raven breaks inclusive leadership down into 6 straight-forward characteristics, demonstrating what each looks like in everyday leadership. She covers the inner drivers necessary to actualize these characteristics in a way that is seen and felt by team members. Your leaders will leave with a clear understanding of the importance of their inclusive leadership, newfound courage to lean into discomfort, and an awakened curiosity to learn more about themselves and their bias, as well as the lived experiences of others.
