The Encore Network’s Intergenerational Affinity Group is presenting key insights from CoGenerate’s recent study of younger leaders. Sarah McKinney Gibson, Storytelling and Media Specialist at CoGenerate, will share an overview of the research, supported by AARP and The Eisner Foundation. The study aimed to understand how younger leaders and older allies can effectively work together to achieve social change and was based on input from 31 younger leaders.
Sarah will provide an overview of the research, which asked the question “How can younger leaders and older allies work together effectively to achieve social change?” The study was supported by AARP and The Eisner Foundation and based on input from 31 younger leaders of social change initiatives.
Sarah will be joined by Dillon St. Bernard, one of the study participants. Dillon leads Team DSB, a creative collective that produces multimedia projects for young and multicultural voices. His work has included social media strategy for social movements like the 2019 Climate Strikes, March On for Voting Rights, and Earth Day Live. He has been named a Forbes 30 Under 30 Media honoree.
In addition to learning about the study, we’ll hear about plans for next steps and offer ample opportunity for you to engage in a spirited dialogue about how to improve intergenerational collaboration.
Does your team have trouble communicating and collaborating because they don’t seem to ‘click’ or understand each other at a foundational level?
Are you bringing on new team members and need to accelerate their integration into the team relationships and culture?
Do you need your team to think outside the box, but they are stuck in the same old ways of doing things?
If so, join Anna Hall, founder of The Purpose Equation, for an Encore Network program on April 24 that is designed to empower professionals to understand the power of purpose to ignite the highest human potential. Through interactive exercises and insightful discussions, participants will delve into the profound concept of meaning-making and learn how it is a foundation for belonging, collaboration, and better communication among teams. We’ll explore its significance in driving motivation, engagement, and retention in professional realms.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the role of purpose in fostering health, motivation, and clarity about what’s next. The basis for this program is The Purpose Equation®, an evidence-informed framework that guides people of all ages and stages of life to define and activate their unique, innate purpose to improve health and confidence and to elevate the experiences of daily life and work.
When most people think about entrepreneurship, they envision young founders and billion-dollar, high-tech startups. But that popular myth, like so many others related to age, has been thoroughly debunked. In fact, more businesses are founded by people over 50 than any other age group and they are two to three times more likely to succeed.A variety of speakers will share their entrepreneurial paths and offer examples of options for people over 50.
