At the end of the day, all we want is to live in a just world, so we really do have to work together to get there.

The only way to sustain transformative change is to build across generations.

Older people expect our generation to not be interested in interacting with them. But there’s so much that we can benefit from talking about together. And if we never think the other group wants to speak with us, then we’ll never have those conversations.

I wasn’t ready to retire, but I sensed that the organization needed something different. I studied up on alternatives to traditional management and was especially intrigued by one: shared, intergenerational leadership.

If a diversity of perspective by race and gender creates better outcomes, then of course diversity of perspective by age would as well.

Cogeneration is not just a heart thing. It’s a smart thing. This work that we’re doing on cogeneration supports retention, it supports economic opportunity. This isn’t just a fleeting initiative.
