Maximizing Collaboration and Innovation in Multi Generational Teams
Leaders and teams don’t want to hear about what makes the generations different anymore, they want to know HOW to leverage collaboration and innovation among the multi-generational teams.
Newer research indicates that in the past few years as Gen Y’s/Millennials impact the workplace there is a higher need for valuing the differences of each of the generations and to find ways to work together synergistically.
This keynote is tactical and practical and provides ideas and strategies on “what” and “how” each individual can increase his or her own ability to leverage generational intelligence to increase innovation and results.

- The leaders recognize that they need ‘human resourcefulness’ in order to create a company that provides shared value for its employees and its customers
- The company is focused on ‘reorganizing’ to provide added value consistently to employees and clients

We invited speakers to our retreat that were both internal and external customers to our organization. The best thing about working with Cheryl is that in addition to being warm, energetic resourceful and interactive, she knew how to pull all the elements together to make the retreat meaningful to participants. Cheryl’s expertise and effort could be seen in the pre-planning of the event and during the day-and-half long retreat. During the retreat, Cheryl was masterful in tying together and relating the different presentations into a coherent and meaningful program, as well as enticing new ideas and viewpoints from her participants.”
