They've navigated unprecedented challenges in their formative years - and now they're rising into leadership roles.

There's never been a more important time to nurture Gen Z's talent and harnessing the power in their perspective in the workplace. And while you may think you know what the rising generation of leaders is all about - what the research reveals may surprise you.

In this webinar, we'll get past the stereotypes and dig into new data about what drives Gen Z; where they diverge from other generations (and where they may find common ground); and reveal actionable coaching strategies to support rising leaders' success.
