Gabby Rosely Season 3 Episode 8

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most vital skills for any leader or team member: communicating effectively across generations. Whether you’re talking to a Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z, understanding the unique backgrounds and values each generation brings to the table can elevate your ability to connect, build trust, and ultimately create a more cohesive and productive workplace.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • Why Understanding Generational Backgrounds Matters – How each generation’s experiences (social / political movements, economic influences, family dynamics, etc.) shape their communication styles and values, and why this is key to building rapport.
  • Tailoring Your Approach – Adapting approach, formality, body language, & verbiage to fit different generational preferences.
  • Choosing the Right Communication Mode – Knowing when to go face-to-face, opt for email, or use digital platforms based on generational preferences.
  • Feedback that Resonates – Adjusting your feedback style to align with each generation’s expectations, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z.
  • Creating a Culture of Curiosity and Respect – How showing interest in each individual can lead to trust, innovation, and a more positive workplace culture.

This episode is packed with actionable insights that will help you build bridges across generations, foster understanding, and maximize productivity on your team.
