When Generations Connect™ with Kelly Brinkman

Today’s workplace brings multiple generations together, each shaped by different experiences, technologies, communication styles and expectations about work. Those differences can strengthen an organization, but they can also create frustration when people don’t understand what is driving one another.

Join the Sauk Centre Area Chamber of Commerce for an engaging and interactive session with generational communication expert Kelly Brinkman of BridgeWorks. Kelly will move beyond stereotypes to explore how generational experiences influence communication, leadership, workplace expectations, technology adoption and collaboration.

Designed with local businesses and multigenerational workplaces in mind, this session will provide practical strategies to help participants:

• Communicate more effectively across generations

• Navigate differing workplace expectations

• Strengthen working relationships

• Improve collaboration and employee engagement

• Create a workplace where every generation can contribute and succeed

Through research, stories, humor and audience interaction, When Generations Connect™ will give you a fresh perspective on the people you lead, work alongside, serve, hire and hope to retain.

Join the Sauk Centre Area Chamber for a members-only trip to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, an exclusive opportunity to learn, connect and make sure the voices of our local businesses are heard.

During our visit, we’ll take a guided, 75-minute walking tour exploring how the Federal Reserve influences interest rates, employment, price stability, banking and the overall health of our economy. We’ll follow the journey of a dollar, watch automated robots move millions in currency, see what $4.6 million in cash looks like and even sit on a chair made with $1.7 million in shredded money.

More importantly, this visit gives our members a seat at the table. Following the tour, we’ll participate in an economic discussion and business roundtable with head of Regional Outreach group at the Minneapolis Fed which handles all business outreach, advises President Neel Kashkari on current business conditions in the Ninth District. They want to hear directly from businesses across our area about current conditions, emerging trends and the challenges and opportunities affecting our local economy. Participants will receive a brief survey in advance so we can bring meaningful, real-world information from the Sauk Centre area into the conversation.

Creating connections like these is an important part of the Chamber’s advocacy work. This is your opportunity to share your perspective, help inform the Federal Reserve’s understanding of our regional economy and connect with fellow Chamber members along the way.

Thanks to Minnesota National Bank, complimentary registration is available to the first 30 participants.

Come learn how the Federal Reserve’s work affects your business, add your voice to an important regional conversation and enjoy a one-of-a-kind Chamber experience.
