Keynotes Announced for Cultivate’15Source: AmericanHort

AmericanHort is “Changing the Game” at Cultivate’15, which will take place July 11-14, with two keynote presentations.

Curt Steinhorst is a generational expert with an engaging speaking style and sharp insights into our multi-generational workforce. In his keynote, “The Generational Divide,” Steinhorst highlights how for the first time in history, four generations are working side by side – and a fifth generation is on the way.

Each generation brings different strengths, values and communication styles to the workplace. These differences can be challenging (you leave a voicemail and they reply by text), or it can be a strategic opportunity depending how leaders respond. Filled with surprising statistics, step-by-step strategies, and laugh-out-loud stories, Curt Steinhorst prepares attendees to go back to their businesses and make their multigenerational workforce a competitive advantage.
