Am I Too Millennial?

In the inaugural episode of 'Too Millennial,' Jessy embarks on a quest to uncover the truth: is she still considered “Too Millennial”?

As Millennials step into their prime years of adulthood, it's high time for a reassessment. They’re no longer the fresh-faced rookies demanding a seat at the table; instead, they’re at the table, grappling with the newest crop of Gen Z.

Join Jessy as she debunks stereotypes like ‘trophy kids’, shedding light on the current researched traits, like digital nativism. But more so Jessy seeks to understand, in what ways have the traits of the generation shaped critical leadership skills?

Whether you're a Millennial yourself, curious about our generation, or leading Millennials, buckle up and join me on this exploration of what it truly means to be 'Too Millennial.'"

Topics:

• Why Too Millennial?
• How technology and culture drive generational differences
• Jokes about my favorite stereotypes like disruptive self-interested, entitled & job hopping
• Current validated traits like happy as teens but depressed as adults, digital natives, high earners
• Deep dive into how self-esteem movement and empty praise has impacted adulting and mental health
• Discuss the ways technology affects our communication
• Asses the readiness of Millennials as we move up the organizational ladder
