In this thought-provoking episode, we’re joined by Dr Paula Conroy to explore the hidden physiological cost of leadership and why functioning is not the same as being well.
Today's workplaces are more age-diverse than ever before, bringing together multiple generations with different experiences, expectations, communication styles and perspectives. While this diversity creates incredible opportunities for innovation and growth, it can also present challenges for leaders seeking to build cohesive, high-performing teams.
In this special Movement Circle conversation, Katie Iles, Lea Boyce, Sam Trattles and Daniel Murray come together to explore what it takes to create thriving intergenerational workplaces. Drawing on their diverse experiences and insights, they unpack common misconceptions about generational differences and share practical strategies for building stronger connections across age groups.

Together, they explore how leaders can move beyond stereotypes to foster understanding, trust and collaboration, while creating workplace cultures where every generation feels valued, heard and empowered to contribute. From attracting and retaining talent to improving communication, engagement and team performance, this conversation examines how organisations can harness the strengths of a multigenerational workforce to achieve greater success.
This episode will benefit leaders, managers, people and culture professionals, and anyone interested in creating more inclusive and connected workplaces.
Key takeaways include:
• Understanding the opportunities and challenges of leading across generations
• Practical ways to strengthen communication, collaboration and team cohesion
• Strategies for building workplace cultures that engage and empower all generations
• How diverse perspectives can drive innovation, performance and organisational success
