Karen McCullough

Tagline: Generations Speaker

Keynote Topics

In today’s diverse workplace, generational differences can lead to misunderstandings, communication breakdowns, and decreased productivity. Each generation brings its own set of values, perspectives, and strengths, but without the right tools and understanding, these differences can become barriers rather than assets.

It is time to overcome these generational biases!

This presentation brings a realistic perspective on bridging the generational divide to foster teams that are not only stronger and more united, but also immensely powerful.

With insights, stories, and humor, Generations Expert Karen McCullough champions a workplace where generations synergize, not just coexist, charting a path of collective growth and strength.

A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING GEN Z
Gen Z has entered the workforce and possibly your workplace. Don’t be fooled. It would be easy to assume that GenZ are just younger versions of Millennials; they are not!

Generation Z grew up in a starkly different sociological/historical time than Millennials, giving them a distinct view on life and the world. What worked to motivate and inspire Millennials may not work for Gen Z. This generation has its own perspective and approach to learning, communication, social issues, culture, finances, and motivation. Generation Z has new strengths, weaknesses, needs, and wants.
