Ep 461: Understanding Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers: A New Approach to Workplace Communication with Calle Foster

Calle Foster is a leadership coach and speaker who helps Millennial and Gen Z women build confidence, strengthen communication, and develop their professional personal brands. She also helps leaders and organizations better understand the four generations currently in the workplace: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Calle explains how each generation’s unique social and cultural experiences have shaped workplace behaviors, expectations, and communication styles. From Baby Boomers’ institutional knowledge and value for face-to-face connection to Gen X’s independence and emphasis on work-life balance, Millennials’ role as workplace translators and sandwich-generation leaders, and Gen Z’s experience entering the workforce during COVID, Calle offers valuable insight into moving beyond generational stereotypes and creating more supportive, sustainable workplaces.

Calle also shares why empathy and perspective are essential to better workplace relationships, including a powerful story about her husband and his Gen Z intern that demonstrates how quickly assumptions can change when we pause and consider someone else’s perspective. She discusses her work with individuals, team leaders, and organizations, helping people build confidence, communicate effectively, demonstrate their expertise, and become more visible in their careers. Calle also introduces her free resource, “5 Everyday Behaviors That Build Credibility and Influence,” and shares her powerful definition of an empowered woman: reconnecting with the powerful woman already within you and calling her forward when you need her.
