What are we getting wrong about Gen Z, Millennials, and the generations we work alongside? In this episode of The Great Retention, Kamber sits down with generational expert Meghan Grace, founder of Strategies with Grace, for a refreshingly different conversation about generations at work—and beyond it. They dig into some of Meghan’s most surprising findings about Gen Z, including how technology has made them both incredibly connected and more selective about who actually influences them. While they have access to the entire world online, many rely heavily on a small inner circle for information, opinions, and decision-making.
Kamber and Meghan also explore:
1. Why Millennials experienced so much career dissonance—and are now confronting burnout
2. What Millennials may actually be learning from Gen Z about boundaries and work-life balance
3. How different generations think about work, identity, romantic relationships, marriage, and divorce
4. Why the post-pandemic question of “What is really worth it in my life?” isn’t limited to younger generations
5. How our parents may have shaped the way we manage and lead today
6. Why technology can make Gen Z feel both closer and more distant from others
7. What actually influences younger generations
8. Why trying to change an entire generation is the wrong goal The bigger takeaway? You don’t have to agree with another generation—or try to change their minds—to lead them well. You do need to understand the world that shaped their perspective.
This conversation is about replacing assumptions with curiosity, building empathy across generations, and recognizing that every generation has something to teach the others.
