E20: Leading Humans, Not Generations
What if generational differences aren’t the real issue in today’s workplace?
In this episode of Conscious InSights, Renelle Everett Darr is joined by Janine Vanderburg, nationally recognized expert on ageism and age inclusion, and Megan Flanagan, leadership coach and founder of Strong Runner Chicks. With 20 years between each of them, they explore what is—and isn’t—true about generational differences at work.
Together, they challenge the stereotypes surrounding Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z and examine what may actually shape how people work: life stage, values, interests, lived experience, and the changing realities of work.
They explore:
- Why generational stereotypes persist despite limited evidence
- What employees across generations actually want from work
- How ageism affects both younger and older workers
- The value of wisdom, adaptability, and pattern recognition
- Why reciprocal mentoring strengthens intergenerational teams
- How leaders can see the whole person rather than a generational label
At the surface, this conversation is about generations. Underneath, it reveals how easily we oversimplify human complexity—and what becomes possible when we lead people as individuals.
The future of work needs the energy, perspective, and wisdom of every generation. It begins when we stop managing generational categories and start leading humans well.
