May 2025 Reflections

Leadership Coach, Generations Speaker Alex Atherton

Client after client has been telling me about how frantic their time has been in recent months.

For those organisations where the tax year is a huge milestone in terms of budgets, staffing and planning it was ever thus. 

For those who work in schools a truncated half-term (following a late Easter) has led to an often overwhelming sense of compression which no leader has enjoyed.

And for everyone else the glorious weather has often served as a catalyst for some to spring (pun intended) into action, without always considering whether they have the resources to achieve all their plans.

Confession - although a big part of my work is helping others form their own robust conclusions, I am not always so good at following my own advice!

I have been 

  • speaking across the country talking about multigenerational workplaces and all things Gen Z talent related.

  • getting my book to the next stage, signing off on the cover and typesetting (exciting!), plus learning a little about the world of book marketing.

  • blinking into the daylight with the news that I am a finalist at the Speaker Awards. Even if you’ve seen this already here it is again 🙂

Amongst all that I have been writing about a set of topics which cover the breadth of what I do, all generated by the questions and conversations I have with clients. 

If you haven’t seen some or all of them, this is your opportunity to catch up. Each image is hyperlinked.

Thanks for reading as ever.

  • My book ‘The Snowflake Myth: ‘Explaining Gen Z in the workplace and beyond’ will be published in September 2025.


How can I help you?

1. Talks, workshops and seminars - including managing topics relevant to the two areas above plus explaining Gen Z to Gen X and dealing with the intergenerational workplace. Speaker showreel here. 

2. My book The Snowflake Myth will be published in 2025 - to receive a free chapter (when available 😬) please click here.

3. One to one coaching programmes for senior leaders who are swamped by their jobs so they can thrive in life. Click here to discover where you are on your journey from Frantic to Fulfilled? Just 5 minutes of your time and you will receive a full personalised report with guidance on your next steps.

4. Team coaching programmes - working IN a team is not the same as working AS a team and yet they are often treated as if they are the same. I help teams move from the former to the latter, and generate huge shifts in productivity and outcomes.
