Special Guest - Kristin Scroggin
 
 Just because you want to be a NASA engineer, does not mean you can be one!
  
 There has been a great debate over the last 5 years on the differences in the older generation (Baby Boomers and Generation X) vs the younger generation (Millenials and Generation Z). Work ethics, employment expectations, values in the every day work environment, and work lifestyle expectations.  Today we are going to explore the major generational gaps and the positive and negatives of each
 
 Kristin Scroggin cant do math, or bake a pie, but she is a GREAT speaker! Kristin has her Masters in Communication Studies, Bachelors in Communication Arts. She was a Communications Lecturer at the University of Alabama in Huntsville for 11 years before starting her own training company, genWHY Communications in 2017.  Her passion is generational diversity and all things soft-skill related. She has spoken at conferences and  to hundreds of organizations across the United States ranging from Fortune 500 companies to tiny non-profits. Obsessed with travel, and desperate to see the world, she and her husband try to keep their heads above water while parenting their four children and any foster children who come their way.

Special Guest - Lucas O'Ryan 
   
Transgender people often times do not feel they can apply for a job with a company other than LGBT companies because they won't be accepted.  This is ridiculous to be happening in the United States of America.  REAL-T with Lucas is a focus on the real life experience of the Transgender community and the struggle to navigate getting employment and working in the workplace.  Everyone should be able to be employed no matter what their identity.  What a person can do for a company is not defined by who they are and how they identify, it's based on the skills they bring to the company. 
   
   Today's Podcast Perspective 

• Transsexual is Outdated - We use transgender
• Foreseen Challenges as Job Seekers - Challenges as Job Seeker
• LGBT inclusive employers - companies promoting inclusion should include Transgender 
• Many Transgender people feel they can't apply to a company other than one focusing on promoting gay rights. 
• Example of situations transgender employees go through
• Twenty-one states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico have statutes that protect against both sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination in employment in the public and private sector
• Confronting discrimination in the workplace
• Addressing harassment from coworkers
• Companies - what can they do?
• Teaching and educating acceptance of LGBT
• Can we overcome perception
• Companies need to be more mindful and intentional on the transgender/non-binary subject. Bring people in to educate.
• Transgender people often times feel they can only go work at LGBT companies because other companies won't accept them
• Nobody should be forced to work only in LGBT companies 
• Gay and Lesbian people even discriminate to transgender people
• Why are we talking about someone's sex and sexual preferences in the workplace
• Transgender identity has nothing to do with sexuality
• Companies need to do more on educating employees on the transgender community including making sure diversity and inclusion programs include education on the transgender population
• Bring people to the companies and educating on who the community is and what happens in the workplace
• HIRING PROCESS - When do you tell the hiring manager and HR person you are transgender?
• Example of how HR people respond to transgender applicants
• How to find companies which are LGBT inclusive and have programs supporting hiring LBGT people
• How do you approach hiring people about the topic?
• We cannot necessarily turn away companies when are not willing to put transgender people in customer facing roles, there just needs to be conversations with the potential employee
• ALREADY EMPLOYED - someone is questioning you might be transgender - do you go to that person directly to try to educate them?
• Sometimes using other people's relationships will help bridge the gap
• Nothing wrong with taking the friendly educational approach

• Diversity - people associate it too much to race and sex; and miss the hidden classes
• How are we educated on Autism
• Companies build a platform and educate
• How do people think when they do not have someone with Autism in their life
• Stop Assuming since they do not look at you in the eye they aren't good with confrontation!
• How about we adapt to them vs forcing them to adapt to us
• Needs for Education in the workplace
• Understand some people cannot help how they behave externally
• Growing trends of self-identification

PLEASE READ: Food Warning at the Bottom

In my previous episode we talked about restaurants and food service employees.

This is also impacted farmers, growers, food manufacturers as well.  In this podcast we talk about the solutions to this growing problem.
