Communicate to Elevate: Building Stronger Relationships Across Generations

Tuesday, March 17, 2026
8:00 AM - 10:30 AM (CDT)

* Registration open until 3/13/26 at 12:01 AM (CDT)

Join us for an opportunity to learn and connect with others. This joint event is being hosted by Big I MN, the Financial Planners Association- Minnesota Chapter, and Women in Insurance and Financial Services.

This session explores how generational norms and gendered expectations shape the way women communicate, lead, and collaborate. Participants will learn practical strategies to navigate differences, strengthen relationships, and communicate with clarity and confidence in a changing professional landscape.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the multigenerational landscape – Gain insight into communication styles, motivators, and how women’s experiences differ across generations.
  • Bridge generational gaps with intention – Use practical strategies to improve trust, collaboration, and alignment across age groups.
  • Rethink the outdated success playbook – Challenge norms that disproportionately impact women and replace them with sustainable, confidence-building tools.
  • Strengthen relationships through effective communication – Leverage communication as a leadership tool to build influence, trust, and productivity.
