My teenage daughter called me a "dry texter" - apparently sending "Thanks." with a period makes me sound angry. If this communication gap is happening in our own small family business, imagine what's happening in workplaces where the stakes are much higher.

Boosted is the podcast that reveals the unwritten rules of professional success that nobody teaches you in school. Hosted by Trina Boos, founder of Boost Academy of Excellence, this show delivers actionable tips to build your professional presence and advance your career through real workplace scenarios and human stories.

In this episode, Trina shares how a simple text exchange exposed the generational communication crisis costing companies their best talent. Gen Z wants emojis and emotive communication to feel connected, while busy leaders want straight-to-the-point messages. When these styles collide, managers question professionalism and younger employees update their LinkedIn profiles.

The solution? Communication code-switching - adapting your style to different contexts and audiences. Trina reveals practical strategies the most successful professionals use to bridge the generational gap impacting team dynamics, retention, and career advancement.

This episode is essential for anyone managing across generations or navigating different communication expectations at work.
