LEAP 2020 Explores Communication & the Multi-generational Workplace

On July 17, 2020, LSM's new Emerging Leaders Program (LEAP) Class of 2020 held its third of six program sessions.  The group began its first all-virtual program day with a discussion on the three tenets of communication: clarity, accountability, and feedback led by Nikki Phillips, owner and corporate trainer at Professional Communication Training. This was followed by a panel discussion on managing in a multi-generational workplace with Kristina Moore LSM’13, human resources, Island Creek Associates LLC; Ed Rule LSM’18, president of Naval Systems, Inc.; and Andrew Ponti, marketing manager for St. Mary’s County Museum Division. The panel provided their insights and experiences representing generational cohorts when discussing cross-generational communication challenges in the workforce.

 

After lunch, Wynne Briscoe, regional director for the Maryland Small Business Development Center, Southern Region, led an engaging discussion on creating a thirty-second elevator pitch centered around authenticity. This was followed by Captain Barbara Ives LSM’09, (USN (Ret.), who explored intentionality in networking. Leslie Fazio, Emergenetics facilitator, wrapped up the day with an exercise on communicating within the context of the class and participant Emergenetics profiles.
