Send us a textIn today's rapidly evolving workforce landscape, understanding the unique needs and perspectives of Generation Z is crucial for fostering a harmonious and productive work environment. In a recent episode of the Lead with Levity podcast, hosted by Dr. Heather Walker, Hannah Dannecker, a Gen Z advocate and founder of the Better Together Group, shared her insights on connecting with Gen Z employees, dispelling misconceptions, and the importance of communication between generations.Understanding Gen Z in the WorkplaceOne of the key topics addressed in the podcast was the common misconception that Gen Z is lazy. Hannah challenges this stereotype, explaining how Gen Z has adapted to a digital world, significantly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. She stresses the importance of understanding the context behind Gen Z's behaviors and the need for employers to communicate and empathize with their experiences.Building Connections: Overcoming BarriersHannah underscores that connection is where "magic happens." She offers strategies for employers to bridge the gap by understanding generational differences and fostering an environment of mutual respect. By appreciating the technological comforts that Gen Z is accustomed to, such as remote communication tools, employers can better engage this generation's talents.Strategies for Effective CommunicationHannah provides practical advice on how to address the challenges of incorporating Gen Z employees into traditional work settings. She encourages managers to have open dialogues, sharing the value of in-person collaboration while being receptive to Gen Z's preferences. The key is a combined approach that appeals to both parties' realities, fostering a more cohesive workplace.Dealing with Authority and Constructive FeedbackA crucial aspect Hannah discusses is the relationship between authority and Gen Z. With a wall built from experiences with influencers and authority figures, Gen Z may approach authority differently. Hannah highlights the importance of constructive feedback delivered through a lens of empathy, understanding, and patience, encouraging managers to engage in active listening.Empowering Young Job SeekersFor young job seekers, especially those from Gen Z, Hannah offers guidance on navigating the job market. She recommends leveraging platforms like LinkedIn to build professional networks and skills. Her advice focuses on being comfortable in uncomfortable situations and recognizing one's value as a candidate. With resources available through her organization, she provides young individuals with the tools to succeed.Bringing Levity to Job HuntingHannah advocates for a balanced approach to job hunting, reminding candidates that finding the right job is as challenging as employers finding the right employee. By maintaining confidence and treating job hunting like a mutual selection process, young job seekers can approach the task with less stress and anxiety.Conclusion and Future EndeavorsAs the podcast concluded, Hannah excitedly shared news of her upcoming book series, Wonder Workshop, aimed at inspiring young minds about future careers. Her continued work aims to motivate both employers and employees to embrace open communication, understanding, and growth.Support the showDid you have any lightbulb moments while listening?

In honor of the conclusion of Black History Month, we air parts of a documentary from Kansas State University, called Dawn of Day: Stories of the Underground Railroad [https://youtu.be/L5c6cDCTJNY?si=Asw3p9WGrBf81_Zj], produced by Dean Mercer, Directed by Rusty Earl, and narrated by the late Richard Pitts, who was Director of the Wonder Workshop in Manhattan, Kansas. Dawn of Day is a historical documentary about the Underground Railroad in Kansas that brings to light unsung heroes who worked in secret to deliver enslaved African Americans to freedom into the free states in the north. Featured on the show today are narrator Richard Pitts, Brad Burenheide of Kansas State, Madge McDonald of the Wamego, Kansas Historical Society, and Historian Michael Stubbs, interviewed in the famed Beecher Bible and Rifle Church in Wabaunsee, Kansas. The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early to mid-19th century. The slaves who risked capture and those who aided them are also collectively referred to as the passengers and conductors of the "Underground Railroad.” One estimate suggests that, by 1850, approximately 100,000 slaves had escaped to freedom via the network. The most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad was Harriet Tubman. After escaping slavery, she made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including her family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses between Maryland and Philadelphia, and after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1950, the destination was British North America, or what we know as Canada. John Brown was also prominent leader in the Abolitionist Movement, first reaching national prominence in the 1850s for his radical fighting in Bleeding Kansas, a state-level civil war over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a slave state or a free state. Brown was captured, tried, and executed by the Commonwealth of Virginia for a raid and incitement of a slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today's West Virginia) in 1859, an effort that was also assisted by Harriet Tubman.

Technology and computer science are becoming foundational components of our modern world. We see them in nearly every aspect of our lives: shopping, communication, school, work, banking, and even applying for a job. Since tech is so important, we need to make sure our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to be innovators in this field. Computers, technology, and coding are no longer “extras.” They are essentials. In this episode, we are joined by Bryan Miller, Global Partnership Manager at Wonder Workshop. Together we discuss how the Wonder Workshop robots Dash, Dot, and Cue can be used to both introduce students to computer science and coding and also to stretch them into developing their SEL and critical thinking skills while solving real world problems.
