GENERATIONAL COMMUNICATION: SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE

Presented by: Sonya Shearer | Owner of Sonya Shearer Consulting Services

Join us for this FREE event! 4-7pm, Thursday, May 9, 2024

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and thought, “I just don’t think I’m getting through …” It can be a frustrating experience, but what if you were told that the difficulty in understanding each other might be due to a generational gap?

Research shows that the way generations communicate can be completely different. From their choice of words to their preferred methods of communication, each generation has its own unique style. This disparity in communication styles can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, making it all the more important for us to bridge the generational divide.

So, the next time you find yourself struggling to connect with someone from a different generation, remember that understanding their communication style is key to fostering meaningful dialogue.
