We are in a unique situation in the A/E/C industry in which there are 4 different generations currently in the workforce.  With millennials entering leadership roles while baby boomers and the silent generation have delayed retirement, communication among the workforce is more complicated than ever before.  This session will be highly interactive, focusing on communication styles and preferences among generations.  Some prefer to send a text over an email; others dismiss any communication other than in person and phone – how should professionals communicate with one another when there is a difference of preference?
