A few days ago I received an email from my six year old niece, Eliza. After talking to my sister, I found out that all my sister does has to do is log on to Gmail for Eliza and she is able to "compose" a message and send it all by herself. Again, she is only six years old. This is only one example of a characteristic of a Millennial (someone born after the year 1980). The Millennial generation is also known as Gen Y, iMillennial, and the Google Generation.
I was asked by my employer, BYU, to do a training on generational differences in the workplace. I had so much fun researching this topic and learned so much about my own generation! After having the opportunity to deliver this training for BYU Staff, we were asked by BYU Radio to talk a little about it on the show "Thinking Aloud." I was extremely nervous (as you can tell by listening to the podcast) but it was an experience I will never forget. If you are interested, here is a link to our show:
