Here's the fourth episode of our #WomenTalk podcast series. This is a special episode, and unique in its concept. Fashion Potluck was invited to join the discussion panel at the quarterly event of Sis in Biz (Sisterhood in Business). The main topic of the event was "How to successfully team up with millennials". After the event, we had a chance to chat with 6 inspiring women, business owners, and young professionals. These are Patricia Becker (also check our individual podcast with Patricia), Ellen Mensink, Rens Plandsoen, Joyce Knappe, Jacqueline Smit, and Mariska Visser. These women can relate themselves to the Generation X, therefore we chatted to them about the millennials, how to work with them, and how to manage them. We received plenty of tips & advice, useful for both generations.
