Interpersonal Skills For 4 Different Generations Training Course

Managing Different Generations At Work Training Courses make a lot of sense.

There are 4 generations currently in the workplace. This course will help participants learn to influence and communicate better with different generations. Being respectful to one another is a golden rule. And what about being more tolerant too?

Maybe the older generations are a bit behind on the technology. And maybe the younger generations are a little behind on working cohesively as a team. There’s going to be strengths and weaknesses.

Communication and interpersonal skills are subjective, and it’s very easy to misunderstand a colleague, manager or partner.

Dr Marny Lishman crated an amazing space that not only was open, safe and caring, but gave insight into many different aspects of resilience. She apprieciated different perspectives and opened discussions that were supported and wise. The presentation was targeted and had the perfect balance of knowledge and reflection. I would encourage this workshop for any team, especially those preparing of have gone through organisational change!
