What really separates generations at work and where do the stereotypes fall short?

Host Nyla Reed sits down with Educe colleagues Griffin Fernandez, Brandon Williams, and Ellie Bertone for a candid cross-generational conversation about communication, workplace culture, remote work, and the growing role of AI. From cameras-on meeting norms and email versus phone preferences, to concerns about AI and skills atrophy, the panel explores what each generation can learn from the others and what the future of work may require from all of us.
