‘Watch for Gen Z to combine the physical with the digital in how they consume, live, and work.’

Be open to new additions to the lexicon– they may be visual, video, or even symbolic; all of them can enhance communication.’

‘Allow employees to create their own job titles.’

‘Incorporate new ways to track, post, monitor, measure, and share performance data.’

‘Accept that college isn’t the answer for everyone– explore what other avenues can equip Gen Z to have productive lives and careers.’

‘Understand how intensely Gen Z experiences FOMO.’

‘Remind employees what they are learning, how they fit into the larger picture, and the achievements they’ve had to help combat career FOMO.’

‘Coach Gen Z on how to establish the credibility and capacity of sources they identified.’

‘Watch for Gen Z to be entrepreneurial and put that to work internally rather than lose them.’

Change is here to stay. If you want to thrive, change is the way. If you are not willing to change, people will leave you behind.

But you can’t do it alone. You need other people. According to Arpil Rinne, ‘In times of great change, when the world is in flux, we need each other more than ever. We need one another’s support, wisdom, guidance, presence, and occasionally a shoulder to cry on. We need one another’s generosity.’

‘Knowing your enough means knowing that the more you give, the better you make others’ lives. The better you make others’ lives, the more they can contribute to the world, the more your life is improved … and the cycle continues.’

‘Generous leaders understand that having the greatest impact on the world means giving the most of ourselves, not acquiring the most for ourselves. To be more, give more.’

‘Leading with enough means nurturing relationships above all else: not for money, but for their inherent and often incalculable value.’

‘Knowing your enough sees through the futility of comparison and empowers you to develop your own metrics of ‘enoughness’ rooted in internal satisfaction, meaning, relationships, resilience, discovery, and helping others.’

‘Knowing your enough brings clarity about what really matters.’

‘When you know your enough, you have less anxiety and your ability to thrive expands a lot.’

‘We don’t need to find new solutions: we need to regain our bearings, reconnect with ourselves and one another, and discover what we’ve already known.’

‘Getting lost doesn’t mean lacking direction or being foolish- … it means being completely comfortable with what you don’t (and may never) know.’

‘Learning to see what’s invisible doesn’t mean losing focus or ignoring what is visible. … It’s the ability to adjust your gaze, see the full picuture, and really understand what’s what.’
