Is Gen Z actually lazy? (with Lewis Hutchinson)

from Real World HR

Host Louise Kennedy is joined by Gen Z entrepreneur Lewis Hutchinson to dismantle the stereotypes surrounding the modern young professional. Rejecting the traditional university route, Lewis has carved a unique path through social strategy and software development by prioritising human connection and "failing fast".Key Discussion Points:Accidental Entrepreneurship: How Lewis built Cura by simply saying "yes" to a problem he didn't yet know how to solve.The "Fail Fast" Mantra: Building resilience through problem-solving and viewing every failure as a lesson.Managing Expectations: How employers can help Gen Z navigate "decision fatigue" and provide clear direction.The Power of In-Person Connection: Why a "coffee and a catch-up" is more valuable than any online meeting in a remote-first world.Lewis offers a refreshing perspective on what it takes to succeed today, from managing the pressures of the digital age to the drive for personal fulfilment and "bragging rights" in one’s career.About Our Guest:Lewis Hutchinson is a Newcastle-based digital strategist and entrepreneur. He currently serves as Social Media Strategist at the award-winning agency Bumbl. Driven by a "yes, can do" attitude and a passion for problem-solving, Lewis expanded into accidental entrepreneurship by creating Cura, a software development agency that provides booking systems for the hair and beauty industry.Join us as we bridge the gap and learn how to future-proof your business by embracing the drive and resilience of the next generation.Connect with Lewis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lewis-hutchinson-a49174229/
