Topic: “The Multi-Generational Workforce: Real Talk on Collaboration, Culture & Career Growth”
It’s not just Gen Z or Boomers—it’s all five generations sharing the same conference rooms, leases, deal tables, and inboxes. That’s the reality of commercial real estate today. But how do we turn that into a strength instead of a stressor?
This month, I'm diving into a topic I recently tackled on a GlobeSt. Women of Influence panel: navigating the multi-generational workforce. We're bringing that candid, no-holds-barred conversation home to East Austin—CRE-style.
🔍 What We’ll Cover:
From mentorship to miscommunication, from boundary setting to burnout, we’re unpacking the real dynamics of managing, hiring, and collaborating across age groups in high-pressure commercial real estate environments.
We’ll get into:
✅ Key benefits of a multi-generational team
✅ Challenges that can wreck communication, productivity, and trust
✅ “Aha” moments from the panel—including why “you better be better than AI” is your new career mantra
💥 Sample Questions We’ll Tackle:
Why do communication styles break down between age groups—and how do we fix that?
Are younger generations truly less committed, or just working differently?
How can seasoned pros stay relevant in a tech-driven world?
What’s the real ROI of reverse mentoring?
And most importantly: How do we reduce friction and actually get things done—together?

💬 DeLea Says:
“If you’re leading a team or planning to, you better understand how Gen Z thinks about work differently than Boomers. But you also better know what each generation brings to the table. The future isn’t one generation or the other—it’s how well you blend them. That’s what we’re talking about.”
