Winter Program

Join us for an afternoon of learning and networking at the NYPCMA Winter Program: Leading Across Generations. We will explore how events can foster deeper connection, stronger communities, and a more inclusive future.

Our speaker is Phil Putnam, an executive leader-turned-speaker and author whose work on employee motivation and cross-generational leadership has fueled success for many of the world’s greatest companies.

Program Description:
How do you build Cross-Generational Trust that drives growth, profit, and retention for Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z? These four generations make up the exceptionally valuable and endlessly complex workforce of today, and the deep differences among their beliefs about work are adding significant friction to getting growth and goals. “How do I bridge their differences and deliver massive results at the same time?!” is a common and understandable leadership concern.

Give To Get Trust: Leading Across Generations solves this problem by equipping leaders of all ages and levels to understand why each generation responds to work and life the way they do, and gives tactical guidance for how to get teamwork and material results from any combination of generations.

Key takeaways include:

• Clear, tactical steps to navigate the cultural and legal landscape of multi-generational teams.
• The ability to anticipate and resolve cross-generational conflicts on both team and individual levels.
• Phil’s Give To Get Trust leadership guide.
• Phil’s LIFE Motivation Model – a lightweight, scalable process to discover employee motivations and drive performance.
