About this listen

 Why do we judge so quickly, especially at work, across generations, and in moments of change? What if the real reason is simpler than we think, and what if curiosity is the fastest way back to connection? Kim Lear, generational researcher and speaker, joins to unpack how culture, technology, and the events of our formative years shape what we value, what we fear, and what we are willing to sacrifice. Through stories from her research and Lisa’s own life, Kim shares how to ask better questions, lead with compassion, and still keep your backbone. What we cover in this episode:
  • How the generational lens helps us understand change in a more human way.
  • Why we judge, and how curiosity interrupts conflict before it escalates.
  • The new rules of sacrifice, and what people will trade for purpose, convenience, and community.
  • This week’s micro-moment, Lead with Compassion and Curiosity: how to pause, assume positive intent, and seek to understand.
Stay curious, stay grounded, and remember, the best relationships and the best leadership start with one good question. 00:00 Intro 01:19 Meet Kim Lear 09:00 Kim's Purpose and Curiosity 15:53 The Idea of Generational Sacrifice 31:35 Micro-Moment #8: Compassion and Curiosity 34:16 Why We Judge, but Should be Curious Instead 42:30 Outro Connect With Us So You Never Miss a Moment of Inspiration: Visit Our Website Get Our Best-Selling Book in Paperback Follow Gravitas on Instagram Follow Lisa on Instagram Connect with Lisa on LinkedIn Follow Gravitas on TikTok Follow Gravitas on Substack Suggestions or Questions?
