Gen X is GEN neXt

03/08/23 • 35 min

We believe Gen X is Gen Next. The generation who is going to change the rules and the conversation around what it means to be a woman 40+, at work, in health, in finance, and in life. We aren’t going to allow anyone to put baby in the corner.

We’re always ideating and, asking the question, “What else can we do to advance women 40+?”

It became very obvious, and we recognized if we plan to create a movement and turn up the volume of women 40+, we couldn’t do it alone.

With this in mind, we wanted to collect ideas and insights from incredible organizations, women and industry experts who have dedicated themselves to the same cause and publish our first annual digital magazine, GEN neXt, The Voice of the Modern Gen X Woman.

This magazine is a nod toward the impact the beloved magazines of our youth had on us. We'd devour these magazines, imagining what our own future could look like. When was the last time you thought about your future?

In this episode, we’re talking all about what it means to not only be Gen X but GEN neXt.

Gen X Girls Grow Up with Erin Mantz

It seems like any chance we can, Gen Xers proudly exclaim Gen Xer here! This of course starts a conversation and mutual bonding over Gen X nostalgia... the hair, the music, the fashion.

That’s why Jackie and I had so much fun talking with Erin Mantz, a Gen X Girl and Founder and Editor of the Gen X Girls Grow Up blog and the 33,000 followers strong Gen X Girl Facebook page.
Erin creates content that celebrates the Gen X spirit, 80s pop culture and the traits that set us apart.

Erin’s work has been published in The Washington Post, Slate, Chicken Soup for the Soul Parenting, Huffington Post, Washington Parent Magazine, Care.com, Manifest Station and others. She’s also served as editor-at-large for Washington Parent Magazine, and is the the editor of the book Hey, Who’s in My House? Stepkids Speak Out.
Erin loved growing up in the 1970s and 80s. She doesn’t think we should be referred to as the Slacker Generation, she’s a proud latchkey kid and refuses to let our generation be treated like the neglected middle child.
We agree. In this episode we talk about what it means to be a Gen X Woman, why we have such generational pride and of course we have fun talking about the memories.

The Power of 3's

My mind is not what it once was and I know it. I struggle to admit it to myself because I used to be able to decipher a million things thrown at me at once...or at least I thought I did. In actuality, I didn’t because most of us can’t.

We, as humans, intake so much information in any given day, hour or minute. Our brains work hard to weed through all the stimuli we receive and capture what we need. This can leave a lot of important information on the table.

What if you are the one delivering the information? If you are doing anything from leading a meeting, to presenting to a room full of people, marketing your capabilities or doing online training, you want to ensure your message lands.

In this episode we’re going to teach you the incredible impact “3” can make to influence others.

In this episode we’re talking about...

Research shows how much more impactful statements can be in threes
Our brain remembers, absorbs and processes in patterns and three is the smallest patter we can create
With so much info thrown at us why we can’t store much in our short-term memory and people only remember 10% of what they hear. Repeating it makes impact statements will help people remember what you want
The power of threes in presentations and interviews
The power of threes in marketing and sales
Using the power of threes to be memorable and persuasive
