for
60 AMW Generational Communication Training on 20 August 2026
1 June 2026 version 1
The 60th Air Mobility Wing (60 AMW) has a critical need for generational communication
training to address gaps in understanding and collaboration among personnel of different
generations. The objective of this initiative is to bring a dedicated generational
communication keynote speaker from genWHY Communications to Travis Air Force Base
to deliver a half-day session tailored for senior leaders of the 60 AMW. This engagement
aims to foster greater understanding, collaboration, and alignment with the organization’s
mission by addressing generational challenges within the workforce.
While the Air Force offers standard leadership training programs, these often lack the
personalized and interactive elements necessary to create a lasting impact. The addition of
an external speaker with expertise in generational communication provides a unique
opportunity to address the following gaps:
1. Enhanced Engagement: Current training may focus on procedural elements
without delving into the transformative aspects of generational
communication. An external speaker can bring a unique perspective that
resonates deeply, using storytelling, real-life examples, and proven strategies
to engage personnel in meaningful dialogue.
2. Bridging Generational Gaps: The lack of generational communication can lead to
barriers and misaligned expectations. The speaker will equip leaders with actionable
tools to bridge these gaps, fostering a culture of inclusivity and teamwork.
3. Leadership Development: A dynamic presentation can address the specific needs
of leaders in managing and motivating multigenerational teams. This approach
aligns with Air Force priorities to build resilient, adaptable, and inclusive leadership
structures.
4. Increased Cohesion & Morale: When senior leaders prioritize understanding and
inclusivity, it fosters a supportive environment, improving team cohesion and
morale. A speaker who personalizes the message to reflect workforce diversity will
make a profound impact, encouraging collaboration and mutual respect.
5. Customized Message for 60 AMW: The 60 AMW workforce includes personnel
from multiple generations with varying perspectives and expectations. The speaker
will tailor the session to reflect these unique dynamics, ensuring relevance and
applicability to the organization’s goals.
Scope of Work:
The speaker will conduct two 2-hour training sessions on August 20, 2026, from 0800-1600.
PST at the Delta Breeze Community Center. The session will include a combination of
keynote presentations, interactive breakout discussions, and a Q&A segment to maximize
participation and engagement.

1. Tailored Keynote Presentation:
o Addressing generational communication, leadership strategies, and
actionable insights for bridging generational gaps.
