Rising Heroes: Millennials Reshaping the Workplace

In this honest and heartfelt episode of The Great Connect, longtime friends and former colleagues Carrie Allen and Amy Pons reunite to unpack the millennial experience in the workplace. From being the subject of HR meetings about “how to manage millennials” to being underestimated while overperforming, they’ve lived the contradictions, and they’re ready to talk about it.

Together, they shine a light on the generational friction, intergenerational workplace trauma, and quiet strength it takes to rise anyway. Naming what’s broken, honoring what’s changing, and offering a fresh perspective on what’s possible when we stop shrinking and start leading differently, Carrie and Amy explore what it truly means to be part of the “Hero Generation” – and why millennials are uniquely positioned to break the mold and lead with heart.
