Peter Agiovlassitis

Peter grew up on the rough and tumble streets of Brooklyn, New York, which allowed him to hone his speaking and negotiating skills at an early age – or as he puts it: “I learned to run very fast.” An Eagle Scout, he graduated with a BA in Communications from the University of Dayton.

Peter has spent an entire career in advertising and marketing holding leadership roles at top advertising agencies. He possesses experience with Fortune 500 brands and has negotiated over one billion dollars with TV, radio, and print networks.

He is a Distinguished Toastmaster and a Division Speech Contest champion. He has also won the “Rising Star Award” and the “President Award” from the National Speakers Association, Carolinas Chapter, where he also serves on the Board. He is also the newest member of the Board of Directors for the charitable Gilliland Foundation.

Topic: Unlocking the Power of Collaboration Between the Generations

In this eye-opening presentation, PETER AGIOVLASSITIS takes a deep dive into the best ways to get people to accept each other’s differences and encourage multi-generational teamwork. His blend of humor and information provides a clear understanding of the generational divides and offers strategies for effectively managing and working with people across the generations.

In this evolving world characterized by technological advancements, social change, and diverse perspectives, collaboration has never been more crucial. This presentation explores establishing clear cultural values and the skills necessary to inspire, motivate, and unite various teams.

The generational disconnect is an age-old problem. But for the first time, we have six generations in the workforce. The consequences of this disconnect are more severe in this post-COVID era: Company leaders are balancing the call for more purposeful work from their employees with ever-increasing performance demands to succeed in their markets. Sometimes, these two forces seem opposed, causing leaders to favor performance over purpose or pay superficial attention to the company’s proclaimed mission.

Peter Agiovlassitis will show organizations how to capitalize on friction between generations and use it to spark creativity by instilling a sense of purpose across their whole employee base, innovating faster, and forging stronger customer bonds.
