- Overview of Generation Y Getting married later, but not due to
a lack of interest in marriage, children, or home ownership. More
educated than previous generations, but with higher student loan
debt. More under- or unemployed than previous generations, yet
optimistic in future earning potential. Turning to entrepreneurship
(both online and offline) to create their own jobs. Bringing
entrepreneurship into the traditional workplace in the interest of
innovating and making a difference. Technology is inextricably part
of youth (and older) culture.
- Slide 20
- Why The Bad Rap? Being compared to their generational
predecessors, whose economic, academic, and career realities were
different. Misunderstanding of the necessity of an online presence,
which can appear narcissistic. Higher (inflation adjusted) student
loans with less stable career options

- How Do We Coach Millennials? Acknowledge the realities of
creating a career in the current economy. Stay up-to-date on
technological trends and online business opportunities Be prepared
for more young people coming to you asking about starting their own
businesses Be hesitant when suggesting additional education Dont
downplay their optimism or desire to make a difference or follow
their dreams, but continue to direct them toward realistic goals As
with youth of any generation, avoid sounding too much like their
parents!

- Discussion In addition to your questions, Id like to know about
specific experiences you have had coaching people in their 20s and
early 30s over the past few years. Do these data align with what
youve seen personally? What are your thoughts on the data about
your own generation that were presented here? What other data do we
need to effectively coach this generation? What should we expect
from the post-9/11 generation (Generation Z)?
