Shelley Bridgeman - The Art of Listening Across Generations
In a conversation with Alastair, Shelley Bridgman discusses psychotherapy, comedy, and generational attitudes. She unpacks the art of truly listening to young people - without judgment or assumption. She contrasts the fluid identity norms of younger generations with the more rigid stereotypes often held by older people. Touching on her comedy background, Shelley shows how humour, curiosity, and adaptability can keep communication lines open across all ages.
Key Takeaways
- Genuine listening and asking clarifying questions can bridge the greatest age gaps
- Younger generations expect transparency, social justice, and fluid identities
- Being open about technology and shifting cultural norms fosters connection
- Humour can be a unifying force if adapted thoughtfully to your audience
