Gen Z, Millennials & New Talent: Safely Driving Change

New talent is arriving with fresh eyes and bold ideas. But here’s the truth: Change can either unite a team or completely shake its foundation. How can we challenge the status quo without triggering fear, power struggles, or resistance?

This episode of Stop. Drop & ROLE is for the bold, new thinkers - and the experienced leaders who built the systems they now work in and may even oversee.

Jen dives into how Gen Z, Millennials, and emerging voices can drive meaningful change without ego, accusation, or authority struggles. Instead, she walks through the ROLE method to guide thoughtful, collaborative conversations that shift culture (and mindsets) without burning bridges.

Listeners will learn how to:

• Step into the shoes of legacy leaders to understand the why behind resistance.
• Spot outdated practices that may no longer serve the team or business.
• Ask smart, safe, and curious questions that move conversations forward.
• Avoid the “I know better” trap and instead build trust through insight, not power.

This episode doesn’t pit generations against each other, it equips everyone to recognize when it’s time to evolve, and how to do it with confidence and care.

Perfect for:

• Emerging professionals ready to make a mark
• Leaders mentoring new talent
• Teams navigating culture change and generational differences
• Anyone craving healthier, more courageous workplace conversations

Listen in and learn: How to lead up, speak up, and show up with curiosity and collaboration at the core.

If you’re a leader (or becoming one) this episode is your guide to rewriting workplace norms with respect and intention.
