Co=Gen: Bridging Generations-Nurturing Talent Infinity Bridge UK
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat. Co=Gen is our metaphor for harnessing human energy in the workplace by inter-generational interaction.
Co=Gen is a dynamic personal and leadership development programme on the Zoom Platform , starting in February 2021, for selected people in the age range 21-39.
Covid has re-shaped the way we live and work and accelerated the uptake of digital tools enabling new ways of learning and working. This is a great opportunity for Millennials to develop the personal and leadership skills needed to adapt to a world that will never be the same and get ahead of the pack.
With Co=Gen coaching and resources emerging and potential leaders can play a bigger role in their own development and create new possibilities. Silververve coaches supply a bite-sized diet of food for thought and action and DIY takeaway tools. More at Co-Gen Overview

Education Leaders Forum 2020
SURFING THE TSUNAMI
-Leading Change & Managing Transitions
The advent of Covid-19 has made us all participants in a global experiment reshaping how we learn, work and live. Education Leaders Forum 2020 provided lockdown and other leadership case studies and conversations exploring how learning communities might change things for the better.
Leaders can’t “manage” change. It’s too complex and no one has all the answers. But they can lead change with a collaborative visioning and strategising process. Elf 20 provided timely templates and resources, to engage your colleagues in your learning community on your challenges.
Bringing ELF20 to You
Because of Covid disruptions and uncertainties, increased travel costs and financial pressures on PLD budgets, ELF20 was a spaced online series, from 9 September-7 October, of 5 weekly 90 minutes interactive Zoom webinars and breakout sessions. See ELF20 Overview and Feedback
