What if the goal isn’t to change another generation—but to understand the perspective that shaped them? In this episode of The Great Retention, Kamber sits down with Meghan Grace—author, speaker, consultant, and founder of Strategies with Grace—for a refreshingly different conversation about Gen Z, Millennials, and what generations can learn from one another. Meghan shares some of what has surprised her most in studying Gen Z, including the complicated role technology plays in their lives. They have access to a broader world than any generation before them, yet many keep their closest circles small—and those inner circles often have far more influence than the thousands of people they may encounter online. The conversation goes well beyond the workplace. Kamber and Meghan explore how generations think differently about romantic relationships, marriage and divorce; why Millennials have experienced so much dissonance as the “rules” of work kept changing around them; and how Gen Z may actually be helping Millennials unlearn some of those rules and develop healthier boundaries around work. They also unpack the post-pandemic reckoning around what is really worth it in our lives, the shift from “live to work” toward “work to live,” how our parents may have shaped the way we manage others, and why work is becoming just one part of our identity rather than the center of it. The biggest takeaway? You’re not going to change an entire generation—so stop trying. Instead, get curious about the experiences that shaped their perspective. You don’t have to agree with another generation to understand them, and sometimes that understanding is exactly what allows us to work, lead, and live better together.
