Transformation Talks!

Ever wondered how pivotal historical events shape a generation's values and communication styles? Join us in today's episode of Transformation Talks, where we promise to uncover the unique characteristics and behaviors of Generation X. We sit down with Sharon Wilson, co-founder and Chief Mindset and Growth Officer and Cindy LaCom, co-founder and Chief Impact and Inclusion Officer at Transforming Culture Consultants, to dissect how events like the moon landing, Roe v. Wade, and the Challenger explosion have molded the perspectives of those born between 1965 and 1979. From the rise of LGBTQIA+ rights to the impact of Rodney King and Columbine, we explore the myriad experiences that define this resilient generation.
Discover how Gen X's latchkey childhoods have fostered their independence and resourcefulness, and learn about their strong preference for work-life balance. Cindy and Sharon also delve into the broader factors shaping Gen X, including increasing cultural diversity, higher education levels, and the challenges posed by economic recessions and the tech boom. By understanding these influences, you'll gain valuable insights to better navigate and support a multi-generational workforce. Tune in for a deep dive into the world of Generation X and enrich your perspective on this impactful age cohort.
