Millennials were born to lead -- here's why | Danielle Shoots | TEDxMileHigh

You've heard the stereotypes - Millennials are entitled and unmotivated, and they can't get off their damn phones! But whether you love them or hate them, Millennials are a rapidly growing part of the workforce. Danielle Shoots decided to investigate - will Millennials be great business leaders? Danielle Shoots is a wife, mother of two teenagers, and VP of Finance Operations at Comcast. With a Business Administration degree from CU Denver, she has worked with Denver Health and the Colorado Dept. of Public Health and Environment. Danielle is deeply involved in the community, serving as VP to the board of Mile High Ministries and as a mentor with the Challenge Foundation. She enjoys yoga, travel, spontaneous dance parties, and spiced coffee. She was named to the Denver Business Journal's 2017 40 under 40. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    It drives me crazy how things millennials like: plants, more eco-friendly things, more plant-based cooking, going back to more simple things, thrifting, etc are things we are RIDICULED for and somehow makes us entitled and 'living in the clouds,' but are ALSO the VERY THINGS our parents never shut up about as 'the things that made the greatest generation and the depression generations GREAT.' Like if you praise your grandmother for living on a budget and loving gardening, why are you ridiculing your children for that?

    People also often confused millennials strong need for personal peace and boundary setting as 'entitlement' and 'laziness.' People do NOT like being told no and they hate when you set boundaries that no longer allow them to take advantage of you.

We need to contribute to the society, doing our best for the future of humanity. Let's create peace on earth, a safe place for you and me.

    When millennials start embracing God more than their phones, I'll have more confidence in them. I'm still upset about all those young people who spread the false gospel of promiscuity in the 60's, and they're a lot older than I am. That's when things really started getting bad. Can't blame millennials for starting that trend. Just for continuing it.

If Mankind survives, it will be due to Gen X and Gen Z teaming up to shore up the damage Millenials did and continue to do.
