Multigenerational Workplaces: Conflict Management Training + Book Launch

Lipscomb University's Institute for Conflict Management is excited to host the next Lunch & Learn event, marking the launch of adjunct professors Jessica Stollings and Dr. Karah Sprouse's revised and expanded first book, Regenerate: Empowering generations to work with (and not against) each other.

Stollings and Dr. Sprouse will explore the main themes presented in Regenerate, including generational disconnect and divides, and how to use the strengths of these differences to create thriving organizations.

Join us in person at Lipscomb's Spark Center in downtown Nashville, or attend the session virtually. Lunch and validated parking are included with free registration. Online attendees will receive a Zoom link prior to the event and will have a noon start time.

There will be an opportunity to purchase and/or have your Regenerate book signed at the event.
