Join us for this engaging, interactive workshop where you will learn: • We now have five generations in the workplace, and many leaders view this dynamic as a frustration and a challenge. • Learn how the strategy of Gentelligence® can help your organization leverage generational diversity as an opportunity and a competitive advantage. • Discover how this approach can help your organization succeed and thrive. • Gentelligence is more then understanding the generations, but a series of strategies and tools to understand the lens through which collegues see the world, and make help us to become more empathetic and effective collaborators and communicators.

Join us as we explore the ongoing mission and work that the Toledo Design Collective continues to pursue in the greater Toledo area.

The first of two Inspire Me events, this virtual program will serve as an introduction to the work the Toledo Design Collective has both completed and is in the throws of.

Mindful of the economic and diverse cultural impacts, industry professionals are constantly striving to create design solutions to advocate for social and environmental sustainability through building equity in design.
