In this episode, hosts Binci Heeb and Mirela Dimofte are joined by Thomas Gassenbauer and Brigitte Roy from Cognizant for an open conversation about generational perspectives, leadership, and the evolving world of work.

We explore what it means to build a meaningful career across generations—how curiosity, adaptability, and candid conversations can bridge age and experience gaps in the workplace. Brigitte introduces the concept of a “spiral career,” where growth isn’t linear but guided by exploration and self-awareness.

We also reflect on how mental health and career pressure show up differently for Gen Z and more experienced professionals, and why embracing vulnerability is key to creating trust across teams.

From creativity in tech to navigating cultural diversity, Brigitte and Thomas share insights from their global careers—including a powerful story about gender bias and the importance of being vocal about your goals.

Whether you’re just starting out or in a leadership role, this episode offers honest reflections and practical takeaways on building inclusive, future-ready teams.
