Join us for a dynamic session spotlighting our guest speaker Heather Polivka exploring how leadership is transforming across a workforce that now spans four or more generations. As expectations, technology, and work culture rapidly evolve, traditional leadership models no longer meet the moment.
 
Together, we’ll explore:
 
  • The changing nature of work
  • What emerging leaders need today
  • Practical strategies for building inclusive, high‑performing teams
All these items reflect NextGen’s mission to building communities and continuing to adapt to evolving workplace culture across the State of Minnesota.
 
We’re excited to welcome Heather Polivka, award‑winning leadership strategist, and founder of Awesome People Leaders (APL). Heather brings over 20 years of experience helping organizations create workplaces where people thrive. Her research‑driven, practical approach focuses on the emotional intelligence, communication skills, and healthy workplace behaviors leaders need to support multi‑generational teams. Heather’s insights will help us future‑proof our leadership approach and create environments where all employees feel heard, valued, and empowered.
