The greatest generation or over-confident and immature?
How in the world can Gen Y (Millennials) say they are the greatest generation ever? They didn’t fight in a World War, survive the Great Depression, and are barely in their thirties, so how can you make such a bold claim on national TV?
In this controversial interview, I debate whether Gen Y can truly say they are the greatest generation. The answer will surprise you (as will the debate about free interns).
I love sharing data and research-driven insights with the media to separate generational myth from truth! To schedule an interview with me, please contact my team.
The Millennial generation — also known as Gen Y, Digital Natives, or Echo Boomers — has been blamed for the demise of many industries in the last decade. But they’ve had an incredibly valid reason for not keeping these industries afloat: They can’t afford it.
While Millennials are definitely not a “one-size-fits-all” generation, we need to work on drawing attention to the traits that make them uniquely valuable. They can be extremely hard-working, dependable, and confident.
