After years of relentlessly racing up the professional ladder, Jennifer Romolini reached the kind of success many crave: a high-profile, C-suite dream job, a book well-received enough that reporters wanted to know the secrets to her success, and a gig traveling around the country giving speeches on “making it.” She had a handsome and clever husband, a precocious child. But beneath this polished surface was a powder keg of unresolved trauma and chronic overwork. It was all about to blow.

For the first time, there are five distinct generations sharing the workplace at many American companies - from Baby Boomer to Generation Z. That means an age difference of up to 60 years and a multitude of experiences and attitudes. More crucially, it means there are tremendous challenges - as well as significant opportunity - when trying to foster collaboration between these diverse groups. In this workshop, workplace culture expert (and proud Gen Xer) Jennifer Romolini examines this extraordinary phenomenon and how it has upended typical management strategies.
