Nothing says Happy International Age Diversity Day like a Gentelligence double header! I ran into Dr. Justin McGlothin at the Cincinnati airport on my way to Austin for a Gentelligence keynote in the morning as he was leaving for his own Gentelligence workshop in Orlando. The dinosaur skeleton is just for effect 😉

⭐ It’s time to share our big project! This was a labor of love for my team and an amazing partnership with LeaderPass. We've created what is essentially a "masterclass" offering, all about Gentelligence. I am so proud of it. The new Gentelligence® Academy launches TODAY: a dynamic digital training platform that transforms how organizations approach generation and age in the workplace. For too long, assumptions about age and generation have created unnecessary barriers, missed opportunities, and untapped potential. The Gentelligence framework is designed to help you have smarter intergenerational conversations. Whether you're leading multi-generational teams, rethinking people strategies for our shifting workforce, or building cultures where every generation thrives – this academy delivers the tools, insights, and practical exercises to make it happen. I've distilled 15 years of Gentelligence® work into over 40 custom modules, including: → Understanding the difference between generational norms and stereotypes → Transforming age differences from weakness into organizational strength → Mastering younger leader-older employee and older leader-younger employee dynamics → Creating intergenerational teams where different knowledge and experience complement rather than compete Ready to move beyond stereotypes and unlock your workforce's full intergenerational power? ↓Click the link in the comments below to secure your team's access, or share this with someone ready to turn generational challenges into a competitive advantage↓ #gentelligence #learning #intergenerational #agediversity #communication #professionalism

In Japan, you can rent a grandma. And no, it’s not a gimmick. The OK Obaachan (“OK Grandma”) service reflects a deeper truth: older adults have wisdom, purpose, and value that never expire. From cooking and childcare to emotional support and conflict mediation, these grandmothers are redefining what it means to age with impact. In a world where generations are often siloed, this service is a reminder that when we make space for every generation to contribute, we can all benefit.

When we talk about caregiving in the workplace, our minds often jump to parenting. But there’s another growing reality we can’t afford to ignore: eldercare. A recent Harvard Business Review article highlights a quiet crisis: employees are juggling their jobs while caring for aging parents, spouses, or relatives, often without adequate workplace support. The result? Burnout, turnover, and lost productivity. It’s time to ask: - Does your organization have an eldercare policy? - Are you supporting the caregivers already on your team? Let’s rethink what workplace support looks like in a multigenerational workforce.

💡Are we unintentionally ignoring what other generations need to thrive at work? Research from Korn Ferry shows major perception gaps between younger and older employees, especially when it comes to communication, tech, and workplace values. What one generation sees as “not a problem,” another sees as a real barrier. It doesn’t have to be this way. With awareness and inclusive action, we can bridge these gaps and unlock the full power of a multigenerational workforce.
