In this episode I delve into the ‘Millennial Profile’ and how the age of technology and instant gratification are affecting our ability to create an extraordinary life…
Now I know a lot of you will might immediately think “Oh I’m not a millennial so that doesn’t have anything to do with me”… but you might be surprised! I know I was.
In my head the term ‘Millennial’ refers to people who are 10 years younger than me – me being 33 and born in the 80’s – turns out I was wrong.
It turns out the ‘Millennial Generation’ is anyone born, roughly, from 1984 – 1996. So if you’re in your mid to late 30’s and you feel like the term ‘Millennial’ refers to people 10 years younger than you – guess what… You’re a Millennial!
After listening to a talk by Simon Sinek (see below for link details if you want to dive further in – which I highly recommend because Simon is not only an amazing speaker but has a lot of amazing insights into leadership and the millennial generation) I became aware that not only was I roughly 2 years into the start of this generation but some of the traits he explained hit home and made me want to dig deeper.
So I’ve done some research into the main traits, struggles and opportunities for this amazing generation of visionaries who have big dreams but lack the skills to follow through (a classic pattern I’ve had to explore in my own life – really good at starting things and having a multitude of idea’s… not so great when it came to following through and sticking with it)
For me it’s been a really journey of deeper self understanding looking into this profile so far and I feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface. I’m SUPER EXCITED to share this episode I think it’s going to be a bit of an eye opener for quite a lot of people, especially if you’re like me and you are in your mid 30’s and you’re thinking ‘”‘m not a Millennial, there’s no way I fit that profile”
As always, thank you so much for tuning in and I look forward to continuing this journey with you next week with a fresh episode!
Until next week – live your life unleashed!
