WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Why 18 to 33 Year Olds Need Compassion

When you hear older folks talk about younger people, you frequently hear criticism.

Before you become critical consider this; According to the American Psychological Association (APA), those aged 18-33 years old suffer the highest levels of stress in the nation.

Is it any wonder?

These people are transitioning from total dependence on their parents to total independence.

Everything is at stake.

Can I find a job I like?

Can I support myself?

Can I find someone who wants to share my life with me?

Consider this the next time you feel critical.

CONVERSATIONS

  1. It is reverse ageism, made up of prejudices about people considered not capable enough because they are young.
    In my opinion, the key and turning point is always finding a union: generations should collaborate to enrich each other.
    To be honest, the issue of “generations” is a bit narrow for me. Personally, I have always dedicated a lot of time, patience, and support to young people in the company. After all, at any age we can make errors of judgment—whether because we are training, or because we think we have already arrived—and it is always appropriate to ask for advice.
    It is therefore essential that we begin to adopt universal languages ​​capable of facilitating the dialectic between generations with a view to a collaborative and profitable relationship that can benefit from differences, which must be seen as precious resources and a source of mutual enrichment between the parties.
