Respecting Differences

As part of our work to be a campus where respect and belonging are reflected in daily practices, Western presents the 27th annual Respecting Differences presentation, “From Friction to Fuel: Leveraging Strengths in Intergenerational Work Teams.”

 

This year’s program focuses on how we can turn generational differences in our workplace into a source of energy and connection for our teams, as well as for the students and communities we serve. 

 

The keynote speaker, Dr. Jennifer Bott, marketing professor in the Haworth College of Business, will lead attendees in exploring practical strategies for building high-performing, intergenerational teams. Drawing from more than two decades of executive leadership and consulting experience in corporate and nonprofit settings, she has helped organizations strengthen engagement, navigate complex change, and create cultures where people can do their best work.
