We're part of a group of speakers who helps each other, and Brad stepped right up to say this was his expertise. I thanked him for the stats, used them in my presentation (with full credit of course) and then started researching him. HOLY COW! Brad is a generational expert! He wrote the book on them in Liquid Leadership, and he travels around the world, consulting with companies and delivering programs to young and old, new and experienced leaders, to help them make sense of the confusing mess that can be generational differences. In this all too brief conversation, Brad shares his insights into these generational differences and how we can lead more effectively by understanding why these differences are true, and by working together to leverage the other generation's strengths. Brad is also a former stand-up comic, so you'll definitely laugh at some of the things we share.

Has anyone noticed that there is a generational divide these days? Well last month, our guest Brad Szollose really explained WHY Millennials act the way they do…if you haven’t listened to it, it was such an eye-opening podcast, I decided to bring Brad back for part 2. The Millennial tech-savvy generation was raised on toys that interacted with them, a parent relationship that was more of an advisory role, and a school system that taught them there was no right and wrong. And that poses very real issues for business owners who employ them and Baby Boomers who are attempting to work side-by-side with them.
