Talking Business with Chad & Mike - feat. Jonathan Sheppard

Our President & CEO, Jonathan Sheppard, was recently featured on the Talking Business with Chad & Mike Podcast.
The Talking Business with Chad & Mike Podcast covers all kinds of insights on entrepreneurship, business, communication and related topics. Hosts Chad Eaves (Eaves Group) from Chicago and Mike Gansl (Voice of Reason Consulting) from NYC share their experiences and perspectives with audiences and their interview guests.
On this episode, Chad and Mike talk with Jonathan Sheppard, President and CEO of J. Sheppard Associates, a legal recruiting firm. We discuss topics including how our workforce has evolved and its impacts today. Included in this will be generational factors among others. Topics Jonathan and his firm have navigated while placing partners, associates, and executives at law firms, corporations, and nonprofits. With over 20 years of experience in legal recruiting, Sheppard advocates for generational inclusiveness in the workplace.
Sheppard emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing the "Generationality of Work Today," which involves four generations working together in the legal field. He encourages law firms to avoid being "generationally judgmental" and instead focus on fostering collaboration and communication across age groups.
According to Sheppard, firms that successfully manage generational diversity can gain a competitive advantage and secure brighter futures. He believes the key is finding ways to leverage the strengths of each generation while promoting understanding between different age cohorts in the legal workplace.
