Bridging the Gap: Communicating to Connect, Elevate & Lead Across Generations

November 3, 2025

10:20 am - 11:35 am | The Peachtree Ballroom

In today’s multigenerational workforce, great leadership communication isn’t about applying labels—it’s about practicing empathy, curiosity, and adaptability. While generational context matters, the deeper drivers of human behavior—motivation, values, fears, and aspirations—matter more. In this engaging, actionable session, leadership expert Shawn K. Woods will offer a framework for adaptive communication that helps leaders build trust across differences, elevate emerging talent, and inspire people at all levels.

Participants will walk away ready to:

• Break free from generational stereotypes to foster genuine connection
• Identify and tap into what truly motivates their teams
• Tailor their communication style to better lead, influence, and inspire
• Use purposeful conversations to empower and develop future leaders

Right after the session, join a focused small-group discussion to unpack key takeaways, learn from your peers, and start building your personal action plan. These facilitated conversations are where real transformation begins.

Bonus Opportunity: In January, participants will be invited to a live Zoom session with Shawn to share progress, troubleshoot challenges, and continue building their leadership toolkit.
