Even though you might be feeling the need to begin again in your life, these feelings are not happening in a vacuum!! It’s important to acknowledge that the changes many of us our experiencing in the way we live, connect and work are not made up, they’re occurring against a rapidly changing social, environmental, and economic backdrop that is having a huge impact on who we are and what we want from our lives.
Each generation is shaped by unique events and experiences that influence who they are at their core, the goals that they have, the things that they value most and the legacy they want to leave on the world. Young people in 2024, spanning Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen Alpha, are experiencing monumental changes and uncertainty that is having a profound impact on our careers, our mental and physical wellbeing, and the ways that we connect with each other.
In this episode I’m joined by the amazing Grant Dusting, Director of Strategy at McCrindle, an Australian social research company who do incredible research in generational analysis. I thought Grant would be the perfect guest to help us to understand:
I know I’m not alone in feeling that there have been some BIG shifts in the way we work, connect and live, tracking back to around 5 years ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Many of us have experienced huge changes since then, some of which are obvious, others are harder to put your finger on. It was amazing to unpack some of these big changes with Grant in this episode, and has left me with many, many more questions to explore in further episodes!
