My first team had millennials through Gen Xers representing four continents, with careers spanning non-profit, law, technology, family businesses, and financial services – we were diverse in every sense of the word. Together, we learned how to balance different working styles (both cultural and personal) and juggle across multiple time zones, all while managing a full class schedule along with our day jobs and personal responsibilities. By tackling our academic challenges together, we developed a rapport – and thanks to that, I now have close friends who I still go to for career (and life) advice.
