The Millennial Nod: Decoding Generational Communication at Work

The Millennial Nod: Decoding Generational Communication at Work

Ever notice how some people nod and smile a lot when they listen?

That's what some are calling the 'Millennial Nod,' and younger people think it's a bit much.

Millennials often do this to show they're listening or agreeing, something they learned from work.

But, young people these days sometimes don't show as much emotion.

They grew up online where things are fast, and they think being authentic is more important.

The different ways of showing how you feel are just from growing up differently, and it's best to ask questions and be curious rather than judge.

This helps different age groups get along better.
