ABOUT:

Effective communication and collaboration are paramount to success for health and performance teams. With four generations in the workplace, communication and collaboration can be stymied by intergenerational differences. This session aims to break down some of those differences and help develop strategies to improve collaboration. This session will also discuss communication strategies for working with student-athletes.

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be better able to:

Identify and compare the different learning, teaching, and collaborative styles across different generations.
Evaluate the participant’s own learning, teaching, and collaborative styles and understand how that impacts their leadership, communication, and collaboration style when working with different generations.
Evaluate learning and work styles when working with Generation Z athletes and develop appropriate approaches for increased communication and learning.
Capitalize on the intergenerational knowledge to facilitate “managing up” in relationships with leadership and key institutional stakeholders.

Target Audience: ATs, RDs, CSCS, and other sports medicine or athlete support staff
