Effective leaders are organizational innovators and change agents. Today’s leaders are faced with complex, ambiguous and diverse work environments. This workshop explores how the leader as a “Visionary Change Ambassador” can become a stronger advocate for employees in a way that drives positive change in a multi-generational workplace.
From individual work preferences to feeling a sense of belonging where one can be their authentic self at work, we ask participants to take an inside-out view on how they show up at work, how their behaviors influence others and how they impact the organization in an effort to build a more equitable workplace. An individual’s willingness to self-reflect and adapt how they view and approach the work—and those performing the work—with a supportive lens is what breaks down communication barriers and fosters individual differences into more productive relationships. This workshop uses the concept of generational differences as a lens to broaden our view on what makes us different and develop new mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets necessary to be effective advocates to cultivate healthy and inclusive workplace dynamics for all. Participants will develop personal strategies for enhancing workplace inclusion and creating a workplace culture of acceptance, understanding and forgiveness to allow everyone to bring their unique self to work for innovation that drives organizational effectiveness and results.
