428 From Boomers to Zoomers: Leading Across the Generational Divide
What happens when Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all show up to work at your center—with different values, tech styles, and vibes?
You either end up in conflict—or you lean in, learn from each other, and build something better than any one generation could build alone.
In this heartfelt (and slightly spicy) episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to lead across generations in early childhood education. From communication breakdowns to collaboration breakthroughs, I’m sharing real lessons from working with my own family—across several generations—on a major center rebrand and culture shift.
💬 We’ll cover:
- The strengths each generation brings to your center
- The assumptions that divide us—and how to rewrite them
- Why curiosity, not criticism, builds team culture
- What reverse mentorship can look like in action
- And how we ALL grow when we stop trying to be right and start getting real
