This event has been cancelled.

Have you ever been curious, or perhaps frustrated, about how someone younger or older than you communicates? Do you wonder what influences them and how you can improve your connection? Communicating Across Generations will equip you to:

• Understand what makes each generation unique and appreciate cultural differences
• Learn specific ways to include and reach out to different generations and cultures
• Better communicate and manage conflict within multi-generational churches
• Create next steps to bridge the gaps and welcome new generations and cultures into your church family and community

This high energy, engaging and interactive workshop will help you build skills that can be used right away in your home, office or church environments. Gather your local church leadership team and join us for a day of learning!
