140 Communication, Influence, and Bridging Generational Gaps with Skot Waldron

Communication is rarely easy, especially when you are speaking across generational divides. In this episode, internal communication strategist and SXSW speaker, Scott Waldron, highlights the importance of communication and building influence within organizations. 

We use communication to drive more influence as our companies respond to the fluctuating expansion of the marketplace. We also feel the rising pressure to have influence when very few jobs are considered "safe" any longer. The problem is when companies focus more on external communication and neglect prioritizing internal needs.

Skot also shares his insights on generational differences and the benefit to our companies when we can create mutual understanding by bridging the gap to create cultures where people want to work. 

In this episode you'll learn: 

• Communication skills can improve when you start with self-awareness to recognize your strengths and areas for improvement.
• The reasons behind companies prioritizing external communication over internal and the impact this has on your people.
• How people are using communication to gain influence
• Areas in which imposter syndrome shows up
• The source of generational differences in the workplace and what can be done about it
