    if you look at the sort of major shifts
  • 00:00:01
    in world events or technology over the
  • 00:00:05
    decades September
  • 00:00:07
    11th smartphones internet computers of
  • 00:00:11
    course it has a profound impact on on
  • 00:00:13
    our world view and how we operate in the
  • 00:00:14
    in the world so there are absolutely are
  • 00:00:16
    generational differences now are there
  • 00:00:18
    things that are the same of course we're
  • 00:00:19
    still human beings and I think one of
  • 00:00:21
    the things that we get wrong and it's
  • 00:00:24
    normal is the older Generations
  • 00:00:25
    criticize the younger generations and
  • 00:00:27
    the younger Generations criticize the
  • 00:00:28
    older Generations right they're stuck in
  • 00:00:30
    the mud they want to change and break
  • 00:00:31
    everything and the truth is probably
  • 00:00:33
    somewhere in between and the thing that
  • 00:00:35
    makes intergenerational work work is
  • 00:00:37
    empathy which is just trying to
  • 00:00:39
    understand the things that were going on
  • 00:00:40
    in their lives that give them the
  • 00:00:42
    worldview that they have right so this
  • 00:00:44
    youngest generation is the first
  • 00:00:46
    generation to grow up with social media
  • 00:00:49
    in normal in their lives um just as as
  • 00:00:52
    side the best definition of Instagram I
  • 00:00:54
    ever heard is happy pictures of an
  • 00:00:56
    unhappy people um um so the point is is
  • 00:01:01
    they' grown up being shown a vision of
  • 00:01:03
    the world that they're trying very hard
  • 00:01:05
    to conform to massive amounts of
  • 00:01:07
    insecurity right Mass amounts of
  • 00:01:10
    uncertainty Mass amounts of loneliness
  • 00:01:12
    this generation is suffering anxiety and
  • 00:01:14
    loneliness on unprecedented levels um
  • 00:01:17
    and they're turning to the very devices
  • 00:01:18
    that are making
  • 00:01:19
    them sick for salvation we have to
  • 00:01:23
    consider that and so the question is
  • 00:01:25
    well how do we help them screaming and
  • 00:01:26
    yelling at them is not going to work but
  • 00:01:28
    putting them in environment
  • 00:01:30
    that show them what other what different
  • 00:01:32
    looks like is remarkable so for example
  • 00:01:35
    um I mean if you had my ideal World
  • 00:01:37
    which I'm never going to get this but I
  • 00:01:39
    would ban phones in in offices right
  • 00:01:42
    because I want people to talk I want a
  • 00:01:43
    foster relationship you can tell the
  • 00:01:45
    generation of people if you walk through
  • 00:01:47
    your offices you can tell what the
  • 00:01:48
    generation somebody is if somebody's a
  • 00:01:49
    little older their phone is over here by
  • 00:01:51
    their computer if somebody's a little
  • 00:01:53
    younger it's a right here and somebody's
  • 00:01:55
    entry level their phone is face up in
  • 00:01:56
    between their hands while they're typing
  • 00:02:00
    walk
  • 00:02:01
    JC right you go to somebody all like
  • 00:02:03
    where's your phone like I I think it's
  • 00:02:04
    in my I don't know I think it's in my
  • 00:02:06
    bag
  • 00:02:07
    right um but at the very minimum try
  • 00:02:11
    this okay ban cell phones in
  • 00:02:17
    meetings
  • 00:02:18
    fanom ban just just in meetings just in
  • 00:02:21
    conference room right just just B put
  • 00:02:25
    little Cubbies outside the offices if
  • 00:02:26
    you want uh the the conference rooms had
  • 00:02:29
    you real to go crazy no computers inside
  • 00:02:31
    meetings either and this data on this
  • 00:02:32
    which people who take notes on computers
  • 00:02:34
    actually don't develop problem solving
  • 00:02:35
    where people who write notes with hand a
  • 00:02:37
    have better problem solving ability
  • 00:02:39
    because you have to discern what's
  • 00:02:39
    important what's not important as
  • 00:02:40
    opposed of typing
  • 00:02:42
    everything but at the very minimum ban
  • 00:02:44
    farms and a couple of companies that
  • 00:02:46
    have taken me up on the challenge I've
  • 00:02:48
    followed up I
  • 00:02:49
    said and they said they noticed two
  • 00:02:51
    things happen trust increased amongst
  • 00:02:53
    their employees trust increased them
  • 00:02:55
    with their clients because when they
  • 00:02:57
    were in the meetings they were fully
  • 00:02:59
    present with each other they were
  • 00:03:00
    listening to each other and by the way
  • 00:03:01
    the worst offenders are usually the the
  • 00:03:03
    senior people cuz they're so busy
  • 00:03:07
    right if something's really important
  • 00:03:09
    someone will look into the meeting and
  • 00:03:10
    take you out or give you a note old
  • 00:03:12
    school fright is it's that but but but
  • 00:03:17
    help them see what life is like without
  • 00:03:19
    the phone and they'll learn to like
  • 00:03:21
    it so empathy goes a long wayy goes a
  • 00:03:25
    long way and remember they sound tough
  • 00:03:27
    cuz they come from an Instagram world
  • 00:03:29
    where they're good at cating and
  • 00:03:31
    presenting
  • 00:03:33
    right and they sound like I have all the
  • 00:03:35
    answers and in reality there's a lot of
  • 00:03:37
    uncertainty and a lot of insecurity and
  • 00:03:39
    we say things like my door is always
  • 00:03:40
    open you're assuming they have the
  • 00:03:41
    courage to walk in so we have to go to
  • 00:03:46
    them more more than than we had to when
  • 00:03:48
    we were younger different generation
