Learn to converse across generations through shared occasions, actual experiences, explained terminology, and respect for privacy and discussion boundaries.
Ask about actual experiences rather than inferring interests from age. Work, culture, and schedules differ within generations too.
Avoid assumed shared knowledge and leave room to choose what to discuss. Ask about unfamiliar terms or events.
Start with the event or shared topic. GOV.UK uses open, neutral questions to explore experience. (GOV.UK: In-depth interviews)
Avoid assuming interests from age or family circumstances.
Ask what unfamiliar professional terms or events refer to. Seek meaning rather than pretending shared knowledge.
Share a brief relevant experience too, keeping questions proportionate.
Allow another topic or an ending conversation when someone declines to share. Respect personal boundaries at work.
