When we travel to a different country, we expect to encounter differences in communication styles, values, and social norms. We prepare to adjust by listening closely, observing carefully, and showing respect. The same mindset applies to intergenerational communication. Whether in a work meeting, at a family gathering, or chatting in the checkout line, we are constantly interacting with people from different generations. Each generation has different communication styles and expectations. These differences aren’t just about age; they’re rooted in unique life experiences, shared historical events, cultural shifts, and evolving technology.
