Ever wondered why your boss, your mentor, or your Gen Z colleague just doesn’t seem to “get” how you work? Or why feedback that fires up one generation can shut down another?

Chris and Lily sit down with Gabby Rosely - former competitive swimmer turned entrepreneur, corporate leader and now multigenerational teams expert - to unpack the real reasons behind generational friction at work.

Gabby has managed teams spanning Boomers to Gen Z while still in her twenties, and she’s here to share what actually helps us connect, communicate, and collaborate across age divides.

You’ll learn:

  • The surprising historical forces that shaped each generation’s work style
  • Why “Engage-Discuss” vs. “Command-Obey” is the key model to understanding generational differences
  • How different generations view and want to receive feedback - and how to adapt when it’s not your style
  • Whether gender plays a role in these workplace dynamics
  • The story behind Gabby’s 77-year-old mentee - and her personal motto, “Say yes before you’re ready!”

Whether you’re managing, mentoring, or just trying to get along in a multigenerational team, listen in and you’ll discover how to bridge the gap - and build a workplace where every generation thrives.

Hit play now and decode the generations with us.
