About this listen
Are Gen Z’s workplace expectations setting them up for frustration?
In this episode, David and the team unpack the myths about instant promotions, fully customized jobs, and remote-only roles — and reveal what Gen Z can do instead to build skills, earn trust, and grow faster.
You’ll also hear practical advice for leaders on how to clarify expectations, build purpose, and replace assumptions with meaningful conversations.
Because when both sides communicate better, everyone wins.
Follow Beyond Day One for more honest, real-world conversations about career growth, leadership, and professional success.
