Session Summary: Today’s workforce spans four, and soon, five generations, each bringing distinct communication styles, values, motivations, and expectations for leadership. This candid fireside chat brings together two leaders from different generations to explore what it really takes to collaborate, innovate, and thrive across age groups in the chemicals and manufacturing sectors.

Through open conversation and shared stories, speakers will unpack topics like:

• How each generation prefers to communicate and receive feedback

• What motivates them and what frustrates them

• Differing expectations around career progression, work-life boundaries, and recognition

• How organizational culture can bridge generational gaps rather than reinforce them

• How to reduce misinterpretations that stem from age-based assumptions

This session provides a supportive, informative space for women navigating fertility journeys while balancing professional growth. It addresses both the emotional and logistical challenges of family planning, IVF, pregnancy loss, and related experiences within the workplace.
