Between technological disruption, shifting employee expectations post-pandemic, and four generations working side by side, today’s leadership challenges are unlike anything we’ve seen before.\nHow do you motivate a team where Boomers value loyalty, Millennials prioritize flexibility, Gen Z thrives on digital connection—and AI is becoming your newest “employee”? The answer lies in evolving your leadership to meet the demands of both who is working and how work is getting done.\nIn this dynamic and interactive session, you’ll discover how to future-proof your leadership by embracing generational diversity while navigating the rapid changes reshaping the workforce. We’ll explore strategies to engage employees of all ages, leverage technology without losing the human touch, and position your organization to thrive in 2030 and beyond.\nKey Takeaways:\n\nLead inclusively across four generations with differing values, work ethics, and career expectations.\nAdapt to the rise of AI, digitization, and collaboration platforms—while keeping your people engaged.\nNavigate the shift from work-life balance to work-life blending across generational lines.\nUse data-driven insights to predict workforce trends and stay agile.\nReimagine leadership in a hybrid, gig-influenced, socially conscious workplace.\nCreate a culture where wisdom meets innovation—and every generation contributes to future success.\n\nIs your leadership ready for what’s next? After this session, it will be.\n \nAbout the Speaker:\nVal Grubb is an internationally-recognized keynote speaker, corporate leadership consultant and executive coach who helps companies improve their bottom line by elevating their employees from tactical thinkers to strategic leaders.\nHer expertise is based on 20+ years in senior leadership roles at companies such as Rolls Royce Aircraft and NBC Universal as well as helping to found the Oxygen channel for Oprah Winfrey and InterActiveCorp for Barry Diller (parent company to Expedia, Home Shopping Network and Ticketmaster, just to name a few).\nVal’s book, Clash of the Generations: Managing the New Workplace Reality, helps leaders manage multiple generations in the office.\n \n2025 Ames Regional Economic Alliance Annual Event Sponsors\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presenting Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Silver Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Silver Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bronze Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bronze Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bronze Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bronze Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Beverage Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Beverage Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dessert Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dessert Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Supporting Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Supporting Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Supporting Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n URL:https://amesalliance.com/upcoming-event/2025-ames-regional-economic-alliance-annual-event-session2/ CATEGORIES:Alliance Events LOCATION:1805 Center Dr, Ames, IA 50011 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
