Jared is probably one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. His caring and warm nature comes through in every interaction. He provides a great ease of conversation allowing a quick connection, making you feel both seen and heard. I doubt anyone leaves a conversation with Jared not smiling to themselves at something he said or just how he made them feel.

How can the North Country improve its Gen IQ? (Gen IQ defined as an ability to lead, market to or innovate with multi-generational workplaces and marketplaces)
I believe that the North Country can improve its Gen IQ in a couple of ways. There needs to be more education around generational biases. Yes, there are generational differences, but we need to look past them and see the individuals. Once we recognize people in the workplace as individuals, we can then work on breaking down communication barriers.
Promoting self-awareness in the workplace is key to understanding preferred communication styles and work approaches. As individuals understand and embrace how they work and interact with each other, respect and collaboration forms within work groups. This can be achieved by utilizing personal assessment tools in the workplace.
