For the first time in history, we have 5 different generations in the workplace: the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z.And it's causing a whole lot of tension across various industries, including early childhood education.But the source of this tension isn't the fact that there are 5 generations working alongside each other. Instead, the issue stems from the way we're choosing to address this unique time in history.Whenever you bring different people together in one space, there are bound to be contrasting opinions, varying perspectives, and distinct ways of doing things.What comes to mind as the perfect example is Passover—children, parents, grandparents (and even great-grandparents!) all in one room, coming together to commemorate a story that each generation experiences differently.But do those differences prevent us from telling that story and celebrating together as a family?Of course not! Quite the opposite, in fact. It's our differences that add nuance and develop a deeper understanding of our heritage.The same can be said within the context of the workplace.Instead of seeing generational differences as something you need to overcome, manage, or fix, you should look at them as an opportunity to create a more inclusive environment that encourages personal and professional growth.How you go about shaping that environment is what I'm exploring on this week's podcast. I'll take you through a detailed comparison of the 5 generations and discuss how you as a leader can navigate those differences within your center.Join me for a conversation about:The 5 generations in our modern workforceThe core characteristics of each generation based on their unique experiencesHow each generation compares in terms of communication styles and motivationStrategies for navigating generational differences to create an inclusive environmentLearn more and apply for the Director's Inner Circle & Owner's HQ: http://Chanie.me/jointhedic If you're looking for support in navigating generational differences that you can rely on long-term, join our Owner's Only HQ and Director's Inner Circle membership programs. As a member, you'll gain ongoing access to tools, resources, coaching, and community that will help you level up your leadership, transform your culture, and build a school of excellence.

She also specializes in urologic care for patients with neurogenic bladder. Dr. Wilson sat down to discuss how physician diversity can improve patient care and reduce health disparities.

On this week's MindSET episode, Leidos Vice President and Maritime Systems Division Manager Donnelly Bohan talks about her work and experience in maritime autonomy, or as her team calls it “big robot boats.” Donnelly tells us about her role working with Sea Hunter, the Leidos designed and built Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel (MUSV), which became the first ship to successfully autonomously navigate from San Diego to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and back without a single crew member onboard, except very short duration boardings by personnel from an escort vessel to check electrical and propulsion systems.Donnelly has been the division manager for maritime systems for three years, prior to which she had a 17-year career with the company stretching back to the SAIC days. And while she's carved out this niche career, it wasn't what she envisioned herself doing when she left school. “I thought I would end up in a leadership role in a hospital portfolio, and that didn't come together quite as I expected. I did some internships and it wasn't as I thought it was going to be. I ended up transitioning to work for the state of Illinois on a technology challenge grant. So I jumped right into cutting edge technologies.”And Donnelly has never looked back. She is immensely proud of the work she does, the team she works with, the technology they develop, and the role their work plays in keeping Sailors safe via the ability to use autonomous vessels in dangerous missions.On today's podcast:The range of future maritime autonomy technologies How maritime autonomy supports the US NavyAI/ML in autonomy development and COLREGsManaging a diverse, dispersed workforceThe next evolution of autonomous vesselsCommercial uses for autonomy technologyHer advice for engineers or others wanting to get into maritime autonomyLinks:www.leidos.com/mindsetwww.leidos.com/autonomy
