From Fear to Understanding: The Gen Z Catalyst

Many managers feel they are "managing on eggshells" around Gen Z, wary of their directness and social awareness. But what if, instead of fearing this generation, leaders saw them as a catalyst for growth?

This keynote dives into the values, expectations, and unique influence of Gen Z at work, and what that means for leadership, communication, inclusion, and performance. The session explores how generational diversity shapes team dynamics, where tensions emerge, and how organisations can engage younger talent while building bridges across generational lines. Roy Gluckman uses humour, insight, and practical tools to shift the narrative from "us vs them" to "what’s next together."
