Episode 79: Mind the Gap!

Becky Berry and Diana Bader investigate the gaps in understanding that keep people and businesses from reaching their full potential. The generational gap works both ways. "We've always done it this way," isn't a legitimate reason to do something. Building a bridge of understanding between generations is the ideal. The first step in closing the generation gap is developing mutual respect. Anytime we develop better communications and understanding of each other helps us build and reinforce the bridge. Merging skills from all generations is game changing. The education system - how it values of certain skills, teaching methods and curriculum choices - also fosters gaps in understanding and respect. Maintaining limits and restrictions perpetuate gaps in understanding. Gaps also appear when we fear, resist, or are unable to re-imagine ourselves.
