We're Not the Same and It's Better that Way a discussion with Vera Sebulsky

You may have seen “OK Boomer” memes or think of particular characteristics when you hear “Millennial,” “Gen X,” or “Gen Z.” But how often do we stop and ask ourselves why we think that way and whether it’s holding us back? In this interactive session, Vera Sebulsky will teach Emerging Leaders about what is at stake when we allow cross-generational misconceptions to affect our way of thinking and interacting. We will also explore how to cultivate a growth mindset and cultural humility. We’ll wrap up the session with several takeaways to create healthier, happier workplace environments for ourselves and our colleagues. We look forward to seeing you there!

She loves supporting local women leaders by serving on the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leaders (WBL) steering committee. She has spoken to audiences that have ranged from college students, to cross-generational family and friend gatherings (ask her to impersonate her father), to a packed auditorium. She has taught or spoken on topics such as building strong teams, effective communication, and using joy, history, and bravery to tell your story. Vera is a native Ukrainian, has spent most of her life in Pittsburgh, PA, and used to live and work in Colorado before moving to Eugene with her husband. Her passion is to enable those she works with to live their best lives!
