It was a motivational morning. I’d just finished moderating a powerful panel of four talented professionals – each superbly representing his or her generation. They shared their own unique struggles to find their places in the workforce and discussed strategies for strengthening the different generations’ relationships in the office. Afterwards, I couldn’t help but get sucked into a conversation with three women talking about young professionals in a negative, stereotypical way. “They’re demanding and have ridiculous expectations.” I hear this kind of conversation frequently, but right after such an inspiring discussion about how this line of thinking doesn’t serve anyone in the workplace?
