🔹 They Are Different — And That’s a Strength 🔹

As leaders from an older generation, we often discuss how to onboard, engage, and retain the younger generation—as employees, customers, and stakeholders. One phrase keeps surfacing in every conversation: “They are different.”

From my own journey—from traditional marketing roles to engaging closely with young professionals in startups and fintech—I’ve tried to decode this difference. What I see is encouraging.

This generation is deeply responsible, yet clear that work is a part of life, not its entirety. They are more informed, more inquisitive, and far more researched in their decision-making—especially financial decisions. Instinct still matters, but it is backed by data and dialogue. They seek feedback, absorb it constructively, and course-correct fast. They experiment, but with studied risk. And above all, they are more egalitarian—less driven by hierarchy, more by purpose and fairness.

For those trying to connect with them: respect their thinking, engage their curiosity, and meet them as equals. That’s where trust begins—and value gets created.
