Podcast episode 4 – Building bridges between generations

Generation gaps are of all times. But the gap between today’s generations in the workplace seems wider than ever. Why is this and what can we do about it? In the 4th episode of the G-Nius podcast, Michael asks Viona Terleth these questions. They not only look at the differences between generations, but more importantly, how to build bridges between different generations from strong leadership.

In this episode of our podcast, Michael talks to Viona Terleth. With her company “Happy Millennials,” Viona helps entrepreneurs to build bridges between different generations in the workplace. She does this with culture, leadership, and personal development programs to create happy and successful employees and teams.

What Viona says about building bridges:

“As human beings, we always look at the differences. So if we have cheese with holes, we’d rather look at the holes, at what’s not right, than at all the cheese around it. What we try to do is make people aware of who the person behind the difference is. Where does he/she come from? What is that about? That way you can respectfully and judgmentlessly connect yourself to the other person. And really understand the other person, before you want to be understood yourself.”

The full episode (in Dutch) can be listened to via Spotify and viewed on YouTube. It covers topics such as:
