In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth and mindset coach, Linda Perry, dive into the unique strengths and challenges of Gen Z as they enter today’s workforce. 

Linda, a former attorney turned coach, highlights how Gen Z’s emotional intelligence and adaptability set them apart. However, they face new challenges: shaped by a digital-first world and impacted by remote work, many Gen Z workers lack the in-person mentorship older generations had, often leading to a disconnect in communication and expectations.

Linda emphasizes the importance of leaders bridging this gap by understanding each team member’s motivations and strengths. She encourages leaders to mentor younger employees in finding purpose and confidence, making the workplace more inclusive of Gen Z’s fresh perspectives on balance and well-being. Her approach shows how, by better understanding both ourselves and our teams, leaders can foster a workplace that thrives across generations.
