Key Points
- Millennials face unique challenges such as managing student loan debt, seeking financial stability, and dealing with the psychological impact of economic crises like the 2008 financial downturn and the current COVID-19 pandemic.
- The millennial generation is motivated by purpose, seeking jobs that align with their values and offer a sense of fulfillment beyond traditional monetary and materialistic rewards.
- Leadership for millennials involves a shift from hierarchical, directive styles to more coaching and collaborative approaches that foster trust, autonomy, and creativity in the workplace.
Being an effective leader at any time is no easy task. The uncertainty of job loss, leading virtually and the economic realities of the global pandemic are making it so much more difficult. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Leadership Expert, Jenna Shellman to discuss her experience as a millennial, leading others and dealing with the fallout of the pandemic.
Jenna is passionate about millennials and believes that her generation received the short end of the stick when it comes to managing student loan debt, building financial stability, and having the confidence to travel down the road less travelled. The challenges that millennials face have been systematically brought on by the financial crisis in 2008, inflated college tuitions, and the constant need to feel validation. Boomer parents raised them hoping that there would be more relative economic and financial stability so their generation could prosper more than they did. However, this is not necessarily the case for many millennials.

Jenna created a podcast- Leading With Your Gut, a show that featured other individuals who embraced fear and had the confidence to listen to their inner voices. The podcast inspired her to start her own business: Leading With Your Gut Coaching & Consulting: Smart coaching for Millennials who want to boost their confidence, pivot from burnout, and live a purpose driven life.
With many of us working from home and feeling the pressure of the pandemic, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about creating a healthier mindset.
