Why Attend?
Young people today are navigating a world that looks and feels very different from the one we grew up in. Gen Z brings unique strengths, values, and challenges - and the way we communicate with them matters.
By attending this workshop, you’ll:
Increase your confidence in engaging with young people in any setting.
Gain practical strategies that make conversations more meaningful and effective.
Understand Gen Z’s perspective, so you can build stronger relationships based on trust and respect.
Create more inclusive spaces where young people feel safe to contribute and connect.
Invest in your impact, leaving with tools you can immediately apply in your work, classroom, or community.
This isn’t just about theory - it’s about walking away with actionable approaches that make communication with young people easier, clearer, and more authentic.
Understanding and Communicating with the Most Misunderstood Generation Yet
Did you know...
Gen Z is the most connected generation in history - and yet reports the highest levels of loneliness and anxiety?
70% of them value well-being and meaningful work over job titles - and most don’t dream of becoming the “boss”?
They’re more digitally fluent than any generation before them, but struggle to find real mentorship, empathy, and understanding from adults?
This workshop is for you if you’re an educator, youth worker, manager, parent or mentor who’s wondering:
“Why won’t they open up to me?”
“What really motivates them?”
“Why does everything feel like a crisis to them?”
“How do I actually connect, without sounding outdated or out of touch?”
