Scenario

When generational differences complicate parent-child mentorship

My daughter is graduating college and asked me to help her navigate her early career, but every time I try to share what I've learned she either gets defensive or shuts down, and I'm realizing that maybe the way I learned to succeed twenty years ago isn't what she needs to hear right now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The transmission of wisdom across generations becomes fraught when the mentor's experience feels irrelevant or imposing to someone facing a fundamentally different landscape.
