The live session has just ended "Let's Peoplerise with...". A monthly space to explore the key issues affecting organisations, guided by voices and viewpoints beyond the mainstream.

Together with Isabella Pierantoni, founder of hashtag#generationmover, we explored generations by stepping away from labels, rankings and stereotypes.
No “young vs senior”. No shortcuts.
Instead, we slowed down.
We looked at data, contexts, biographies — and asked a deeper question:
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬, 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬?
Today, eight generations coexist in the same present, but not in the same past.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 — 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬.
When we say autonomy, respect, commitment, future…are we really using the same dictionary?
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
Seeing this doesn’t mean agreeing on everything.
It means stopping stigmatisation and starting understanding.
We also named shared, unspoken fears — obsolescence, broken promises, anxiety about a fast-moving future — not as a generational issue, but as the climate of our time.
🎧 The recording (in Italian) is now available
for those who want to revisit the dialogue and take home new lenses for work, organisations and leadership.

Because understanding the world we live in is a shared responsibility.
