Generation Z has identified the people obstructing their way, and Gen Z calls that group Boomers. Regardless of age. A Boomer is anyone not taking action to support Gen Z’s agenda. I love that. I said to my older son, “I’m so proud to be part of Gen X.” He said, “You shouldn’t be. Your generation did nothing to stop a global disaster.” Rule 1: Dump self-actualization in favor of selflessness.

Things get predictably busy at certain times of the year, just as things get predictably slow at other times.

But emotional intelligence isn't easy for everyone, and some may believe that when they need it they can just Google it and figure it out.
