Stop calling them Millenials or Gen Z! | Matt Stewart | TEDxHotelschoolTheHague

After a diagnosis of an incurable form of leukemia, he decided to leave his successful coaching practice in Canada’s Financial district and moved to a small mountain town in British Columbia to work at a post-secondary school. Now Matt makes the argument we should stop labelling people with generational stereotypes like Millennials or Generation Zs. Matt believes we should introduce the concepts of executive coaching into the classroom and our workplaces in order to develop and refine the non-cognitive (aka soft skills) of the next generation. Instead of focusing on the generational stereotypes, as a society, we should focus on reframing how we support the success of the next generation “Stop Calling (them) Millennials or Gen Z!”
