If you've listened to any other discussion about generational issues at
work, then you've undoubtedly been told there are four distinct
generations operating side by side in today's working world. You've then
been told the differences between those four generations, and then you've
been told (although probably not in these exact words) that you need to
just deal with all these different people, because they're not going away
and they're not going to change how they operate. If that advice suits you,
fantastic. However, if you've ever been frustrated by how impossible it
seems to employ four different strategies to manage four distinct
generations, and if you've ever felt like you're the only one who's being
asked to make any changes, then Stop Acting Your Age! is exactly what
you need

Mid-Week Keynote Speaker, 31 January: Matt Havens
Stop Acting Your Age - Avoid Generational Warfare
As the founder of America's only "industrial strength" river clean-up
organization and the 2013 CNN Hero of the Year, Chad Pregracke tells
a compelling and funny story about growing up on the river and how his
experiences led to his unique vision to clean up the Mississippi River and
start an internationally recognized not-for-profit, Living Lands &
Waters. During his talk, Chad takes the audience out on one of the world's
greatest rivers – a journey filled with endless challenges and
gripping adventures. His delivery is motivating, captivating, genuine, and
refreshingly spontaneous. From the darkness of underwater shell-diving to
the brightness of open-air community clean-ups, Chad's tale embodies the
importance of setting goals (one river and one piece of garbage at a time)
and illustrates how determination, hard work, and persistence pay off.
Closing Keynote Speaker, 1 February: Chad Pregracke

Changed our Nation's Rivers
