The Importance Of Intergenerational Translation At Work | Dreu Lindsay | Tedxlargo

Card image cap

In You Heard Me, But Did You Understand Me?, Dreu Lindsay challenges the idea that different generations simply can't get along at work. Through humor, relatable workplace experiences, and fresh insights, Dreu reveals how communication styles can create misunderstandings, conflict, and missed opportunities. His message is simple but powerful: We don't have a generation gap. We have a translation gap. And when we learn to translate instead of judge, we can transform how we work, lead, and connect with one another. Dreu Lindsay is a public health leader, educator, and advocate
whose work centers on helping people feel seen, heard, and
empowered. As Project Director of Project LIVE (Living with
Intention, Vision, and Empowerment) at The Arc, she supports
transition-age youth in building resilience, self-advocacy skills,
and meaningful community connections. Her work explores how
empathy, curiosity, and intentional communication can help
bridge divides between generations and create greater
understanding. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
