In this installment of the UKG Marquee Speaker Series, hosted by the HCM Online Academy, we’re joined by Chip Conley, veteran hotelier, entrepreneur, and author of Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder.
The book details the experiences Chip had along the road to thriving as a “Modern Elder,” combining career wisdom and experience with a beginner’s mindset and willingness to learn and evolve. After excelling in the hospitality industry for decades, he joined Airbnb and began a profound analysis of the modern state of ageism in the workplace. His conclusions demonstrate how human skills like good judgment, specialized knowledge, and the ability to collaborate and coach, are more relevant than ever in a multigenerational workplace.
