Hello

We often talk about diversity in terms of background or culture, but age diversity plays just as big a role in team success. In this episode, we explore what happens when you bring together different generations at work and create space for all voices to be heard.Gary Danoff, a global leader at Google and an experienced executive coach, shares how he builds strong, multigenerational teams. He explains how to recognize and work with the different experiences that shape each generation. His approach centers on curiosity, active listening, and what he calls leading with love. Gary also shares how he encourages open conversations on teams and why understanding strengths is more useful than relying on labels.This is a practical look at how to create respectful, high-performing environments where people of any age feel valued and motivated.Key Takeaways:1. Curiosity is the bridge - Asking questions and staying open to others' experiences helps create understanding across generations.2. Labels are only starting points - Generational terms can guide conversations but should never limit how we see or support people.3. Love belongs in leadership - Caring about your team as people helps build trust and brings out their best work.4. Strengths matter more than age - People thrive when leaders match work styles to individual strengths, not generational stereotypes.5. Tough moments create growth - When conflict shows up, leaders need to step in, listen, and help teams learn through it.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment)How can you inspire our team to be more proactive, take ownership and get more done?You demonstrate and empower The Courage of a Leader.

When was the last time your organization redesigned work, not just reorganized jobs? Ravin Jesuthasan, bestselling author and global leader for transformation services at Mercer, explains why work redesign is the missing foundation for successful transformation.

Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda as the new Executive Director of CIL!  With his extensive experience as a global advocate for disability rights and his innovative vision, Dr. Pineda is set to lead bThe center for Independent Living into an exhilarating new chapter of empowerment and inclusion.Victor Santiago Pineda was born in Caracas, Venezuela, At the age of two, Pineda was hospitalized with a high fever and for the next five years he demonstrated gradual weakening of his skeletal muscles. By age four, his weakened muscles caused him to fall repeatedly and by age seven, he stopped walking completely. His muscular deterioration would continue and eventually affect his breathing. By the time he was in high school, he needed to use a ventilator at night, and by the time he started his doctoral program in his late-twenties, he required a ventilator twenty-four hours per day.As a child, Pineda was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA-Type II), a form of muscular dystrophy. However, as an adult, he was examined by a neurophysiologist who, with the use of electromyography, determined that there was no evidence to suggest Spinal muscular atrophy. The specific cause of Pineda's muscle weakness was identified as collagenopathy VI, resulting from an extremely common genetic mutation.Pineda attended Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California, and was selected by his graduating class as a commencement speaker. Upon graduating in 1997, Pineda attended the California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF). As a freshman at the University of California Berkeley, he received specialized support services provided by the Disabled Students Office (DSP) and participated in the Disabled Students Residence Program (DSRP).[citaWhile at UC Berkeley was elected senator for the ASUC student government, defended ethnic studies, with the leadership of Andrew Berk, hehelped resurrect the long dormant Disabled Students Union (DSU). During this time he established the Disability Media Initiative (DMI) and the Pineda Foundation to provide 21st century workforce skills to youth with disabilities. Pineda earned a B.A. in political economy, a B.S. in business administration and, eventually, a master's degree in city and regional planning (MCP) with a concentration in regional economic development. He then accepted an internship in Washington, D.C., where he served as a summer associate at the US Treasury's Department of International Affairs.IPineda was awarded the American Association of People with Disabilities Paul G. Hearne Award.Pineda's "It's About Ability" projectwas honored in Montenegro for the Best Humanitarian Action by UNICEF.Also in 2011, he received the prestigious Mark Bingham Award for Excellence in Achievement by a Young Alumnus/a, Cal Alumni Association for his work in education and human rights.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBAS

In this episode, Kate Bravery, Global Leader of Talent Advisory at Mercer, is joined by Dr. Andrew Tay, Chief Wellbeing Officer at the National University of Singapore (NUS). They discuss the role of the Chief Wellbeing Officer and the evolving mental health challenges faced by NUS students, including insights into the value of in-person collaboration. Additionally, they explore the implications of these challenges for businesses concerning the next generation of talent emerging from universities.Interesting moments:Who owns well-beingAt the end of it all well-being is a whole organization approach. It is not a HR problem. It is not a manager problem. It's not a CEO problem. It's everybody's problem, everybody has a role to play.Value of in-person workWhen students learn remotely their risk of developing self-esteem issues increases. Think of your remote work policies. The in-office arrangement allows the community to connect socially, improve connectivity and reduce isolation.Psychological safetyWe started to track the concept of incivility. Those teams with a low incivility score were more likely to have higher psychological safety. What does that mean? It means you need to manage the behavior of your colleagues. You cannot tolerate remarks aimed at hurting people.Anticipating workforce needs We are training the next batch of our workforce who will be entering into your workplace. It is important for HR to anticipate the kind of issues that young people are facing before they enter the workforce and the kind of support that can help them thrive.https://www.mercer.com/insights/people-strategy/future-of-work/podcast-new-shape-of-work/
