Are you a Gen Z or Millennial professional feeling lost in the corporate maze? You’re not alone. I recently sat down with David Rice on the People Managing People podcast to dive deep into the unique challenges facing today’s young professionals—and how embracing leadership from the start might be the key to overcoming them.
In this episode, I share my personal journey from a successful yet unfulfilling career in law to finding my true calling as a coach for emerging leaders. Together with David, I discuss why many young professionals feel unsettled in traditional workplaces and discusses actionable strategies to bridge the gap between academic life and the corporate world. As I’ve discussed previously, there’s a need for leadership development for Millennials and Gen Z.
