Oh, REALLY?

The New York Times Said GenXers are "Kind of, Sort of, Not Really the Boss." 😡

The current media narrative about GenXers (those of us born between 1965-1980) is incomplete and misleading. Supposedly we're "a mess" (The New York Times), "overlooked" (AARP Magazine), the "forgotten generation" (Forbes), and a neglected "middle child" (Pew Research Center). Yada yada yada.

But we're no Jan Brady.

The reality is different:

we're experts, with more than 50% of GenXers in the workforce in professional leadership roles within our companies and organizations.
we control an outsize portion of spending power for a generation of our small size ($2.4 trillion).
We're the hardest workers in the labor market and we know how to get sh*t done.
We're the critical bridge between the Boomers and Millennials.
The workforce NEEDS us, just like we want and need to continue creating success for ourselves and our families.

Yet we do face certain realities:

Ageism is real.
The job market's competitive.
We have unique financial pressures - we carry lots of debt, take care of our kids and our parents, and wonder when we can (maybe, someday?) retire.

A Note to Our Community

Thanks for supporting us as we launch and grow. The more people who become members and participate in our programs, the more we can scale and grow, creating even more opportunities and connections for GenXers.

One of my favorite sayings: SUCCESS IS A TEAM SPORT.

So let's do this together!

We're here to listen to you and to curate content directed at handling your specific goals and needs, so please send us a message if you have anything specific you'd like to see, hear, or experience! We can't wait to unveil so much more in the coming months.

About GenXpertise

A GenXer's Go-To Hub

That's why GenXpertise was created - to be our go-to hub for resources, education, inspiration, and support. A place to upgrade our internal "OS" (operating systems) so we can handle whatever comes our way. From career development to relationships to taking care of aging parents as well as kids to technology to finance, we'll be talking about things that really matter to us. We're also creating a community where we can support each other and even get together IRL.

The GenXpertise platform is being built as you read this. Please sign up for our mailing list, and share GenXpertise with your friends!

So lace up your old combat boots - we’re getting down to business.
