Gen X, Gen Z, Boomers & Millennials: Gabby Rosely decodes how we can all get along at work

Ever wondered why your boss, your mentor, or your Gen Z colleague just doesn’t seem to “get” how you work? Or why feedback that fires up one generation can shut down another?


Chris and Lily sit down with Gabby Rosely - former competitive swimmer turned entrepreneur, corporate leader and now multigenerational teams expert - to unpack the real reasons behind generational friction at work. 


Gabby has managed teams spanning Boomers to Gen Z while still in her twenties, and she’s here to share what actually helps us connect, communicate, and collaborate across age divides.


You’ll learn:

• The surprising historical forces that shaped each generation’s work style
• Why “Engage-Discuss” vs. “Command-Obey” is the key model to understanding generational differences
• How different generations view and want to receive feedback - and how to adapt when it’s not your style
• Whether gender plays a role in these workplace dynamics
• The story behind Gabby’s 77-year-old mentee - and her personal motto, “Say yes before you’re ready!”

Whether you’re managing, mentoring, or just trying to get along in a multigenerational team, listen in and you’ll discover how to bridge the gap - and build a workplace where every generation thrives.
