Do you ever feel like someone came by and just flipped the world upside down? It seems like everything we learned about how to have a successful business and or career no longer matters. Long gone are the days where experience, professionalism, seniority, and loyalty guarantee you a ticket to the top. Now it’s about how many likes you have on social media and becoming an influencer. The Millennial generation has flipped the status quo upside down. They are technologically savvy, and they know how to use all the cool social media sites to their advantage while everyone else is #outofstep. But what is the reality? Is it true that all of us experienced women are at the end of our careers or could something else be the real truth?

In this episode, we are talking about the devaluation of experience and how the Millennial generation has flipped the traditional hierarchy on its head. We dig into some of the misconceptions about Millennials, go under the surface to explore what BackStories are holding Baby Boomers and Gen Xer’s back and throw in some insight on how gender and sex impact the conversation. You’ll leave with sound advice and real solutions for remaining relevant in this new landscape.
