World events ranging from the Civil Rights Movement to 9-11 to the Pandemic Economic Crash of 2020 have molded the personas of the Baby Boomer, Gen-X and Millennial cohorts. The senior marketing pros at CIRCA 46, a Slingshot company, explain how such events and trends have caused each of these generations to be different from the others. #CIRCA46 #GenX #Millennials https://lnkd.in/gsQu3968

Our CROSSROADS findings reveal a stark generational divide in optimism about the future in the US and Canada.    Generation Z is the most optimistic, believing in the improvement of their communities by current leadership. In contrast, Generation X and Baby Boomers express the most pessimism, while Millennials have a more neutral stance.    Despite the majority of North Americans feeling pessimistic about the country’s future, younger generations hold onto hope more than their older counterparts.    What do you think? Does your outlook align with your generation?    Explore these findings and more in CROSSROADS report: https://lnkd.in/eQD-b7Xy   #CROSSROADS #FutureCommunities #GenerationalOutlook #FutureOptimism #GenZ #Millennials #GenX #BabyBoomers

The lines between generations are blurring, especially when it comes to family responsibilities. Anne Helen Petersen, acclaimed culture writer, shares her observations on how Millennials are joining Gen X in the "sandwich generation." In this clip from "Generations Are Culture," Petersen and Farrah discuss the long-term implications of caring for both aging parents and children. This conversation offers valuable insights into the shared experiences across age groups.

In this episode of 'Padi Hai with KG', I address a frequently asked question: why do I focus on youth. The answer lies in nation building. Millennials or the youth possess a unique ability to adapt, listen, and change, making them key to shaping a better future. As we strive to create positive impact, it's crucial to empower this demographic with valuable character traits and attitudes. Watch to learn more about our mission to inspire younger generations and foster responsible citizenship. #NationBuilding #Millennials #Leadership #PadiHaiwithKG #KrishnaGopal

By 2025, Millennials and Generation Z will constitute nearly 60 percent of the workforce. In addition, the proportion of Gen Z individuals identifying as white is a historically low 52%, compared to 61% among Millennials and 70% for Gen X, and about one Gen Z’er in six self-identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, a much higher proportion than those reported by Millennials (9%) or Gen X (less than 4%). North American telcos might lead in diversity, but if they were to match their international peers in environmental targets and actions, they wouldn’t just become world-leading in sustainability—they would also finally be in tune with what their customers (and their investors) increasingly want: https://bit.ly/4aTpmZ1 Authors: Ken Quaglio, Chris Cortellini, and Olivier Ducloux

If you’re not following BrandStorytelling, you're missing out! There are so many ways to join the conversation about what drives great narratives and how - more than ever - technology and emotional narratives are key to building trust and affinity.

Ever feel like you’re hosting a family reunion at work—everyone’s related, but no one quite sees things the same way?  Managing Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all under one roof can feel like juggling four different conversations at once. And while this diversity is our biggest asset, it can also be the source of a few misunderstandings. If you’re leading a team that spans generations, you already know—it’s not one-size-fits-all. But that’s also where the magic happens.  Different perspectives mean different ideas, solutions, and approaches, which can be a game-changer for any organization.  The trick is finding common ground. Believe it or not, there is power in simply acknowledging generational differences and making space for everyone to share their views. It’s not about forcing agreement; it’s about fostering understanding.  When you create an environment where Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z can all bring their best, you’re not just managing people—you’re elevating the whole team. Have you found ways to bridge those generational gaps at work?  Let’s swap stories—what’s worked (or maybe what hasn’t)? #DiversityEquityInclusion #TeamDynamics #WorkplaceCulture #Millennials  P.s.
