Leading Across Generations: Everyday Actions to Empower Teams
Did you know today’s workplace may consist of up to five unique generations?
These generations often hold varying views on values, work, and success as shaped by formative experiences. A major pitfall in developing strong multi-generational teams are the common assumptions and generalizations made about each generation.
This program will provide best practices for empowering multi-generational teams to meet the demands of the 21st century workforce, workplace, and marketplace. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to be a more inclusive leader of multi-generational teams.

The Building Blocks of Belonging & Your Role
Can you recall a time where you felt you truly belonged? In places of belonging, people experience feeling welcomed, respected, valued, heard and protected. Belonging unlocks human potential and creates the spaces and places where people can show up as their authentic selves.
The stats are mind blowing – employees who experience belonging have greater personal and professional well being than their peers including: a 56% increase in job performance, a 50% reduction in turnover risk, 2X more employee raises, 18X more employee promotions, and a 75% decrease in sick days (Deloitte).

"Chelsea C. Williams is not only a brilliant speaker and thought leader but also a warm, engaging, and approachable professional. Her commitment to empowering individuals to be their authentic selves in the workplace is both inspiring and transformative. We highly recommend Chelsea for both in-person and virtual speaking engagements. She will undoubtedly elevate your team's understanding and application of workplace dynamics, fostering a sense of belonging that translates into tangible business success. Chelsea's impact is nothing short of phenomenal, and we are immensely grateful for her contributions to our organization.”
Lindsey Lewis, MBA, ChFC®, CFP® (she/her), Director of the Center for Women in Financial Services
“Seramount invited Chelsea to serve as one of our speakers at the 2024 EmERGe Summit in New York City, which brought together over 400 national ERG leaders and program managers for education and practical application. The primary audience of our event was Fortune 500 companies. Chelsea stood out from other speakers due to her ability to build a storyline and engage with a diverse audience. Her experience with Strengths Assessments and ability to share direct resources and tools to leverage opportunities to think about ERG leaders’ career nest was precisely what we wanted to highlight for our audience. Her takeaways for helping ERG leaders leverage their experience for career advancement would be a massive asset to attendees. Still, she also has a theoretical mindset well-aligned with ERGs not being a passion project. While Chelsea certainly has more than enough relevant experience to be a great speaker at any event, what makes her stand out is her willingness to be flexible in producing content aligned with our event’s purpose. She has the skills, experience, and knowledge of how to frame and present information that meets our audience where they are!”
Ilyssa Padrid-Dykman, Associate Director, Event Programs, Seramount
“The Tory Burch Foundation had the joy of collaborating with Chelsea C. Williams and Reimagine Talent on a webinar for small business owners.
