Millennials, Boomers, Gen Xers:
Remain stoic when the blood boils, we all go green at times.
Construct with, instead of destructing each other.
Cross-generational mentorship. All points on the age continuum have something to offer and a need to be met.
Listen. Listen, listen. No seriously, like, you know, like . . . listen.
Counsel and console, get funky. Dialogue (and dance) to healing.
Cooperative, inclusive creative leadership.
Conscious exploration of the self and each other.
