Episode #109 Generation Z Speaks Out About the Future of Work and Generational Shifts - Katherine Menendez, Kenia Ventura & Lizbeth Paz
Since people are living and working longer there is a multiple generational overlap in our workforce. The way members of various generations learn, interact, respond to challenges and create changes.
In this podcast episode, Genein Letford invites her former elementary students, who are now in their early 20’s, to talk about the changes in the workforce, their workforce focus and the discussion on generational leadership.
They also discuss how their formative years helped shape their adult mindset on leadership, networking and taking risks.
