How to thrive in a multi-generational workforce

To succeed in your first, second or third act, you must embrace technology and social media. It's the price of entry in today's world. The good news is that it is changing at such

an unprecedented pace, everyone needs to keep learning and adapting to be at the forefront. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Take a look at the Apple Genius Bar. Every generation is

represented behind the counter. EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR LOVE If you're reinventing your career, chances are you want to do work you love, not just a job that provides income. This

is something the younger generations believe right from the start. Gen Z and Millennials are more interested in doing something they love versus climbing the corporate ladder. In fact,

linear career advancement is being replaced by horizontal expansion and in some cases freelance experiences. Gone are the days when an individual spends 30 years at one company. This

"do well and do good" approach can be a terrific advantage for finding a new vocation. IGNORE YOUR ECHO We are all creatures of habit. If you're looking to make a big change,

you have to be prepared to let go of your echo—that you need to earn a certain amount, or your geography. Where you are is not who you are. Instead, get ready to make connections—through

LinkedIn, social media, meet-up groups, technology and your existing and likely vast network. These connections will no doubt connect you to a very rewarding next chapter. _ _
