In this episode, Laura Mazzullo speaks with generational expert Mary Cooney, PhD, about navigating multiple generations in today’s rapidly evolving workplace. They explore how pressure surrounding AI, the economy, job stability, and high expectations can create stress that limits curiosity, trust, and collaboration.
Mary encourages us to challenge our assumptions, understand the historical experiences that shaped each generation, and become curious rather than judgmental when differences arise. The conversation also explores agile versus crystallized intellect—and how powerful it can be when different generations bring their unique strengths together. Ultimately, creating a workplace built on trust, respect, and recognition allows people and generations to thrive together.
