Managing Anger, Respect, and Communication at Work — with Karen Thrall
In this episode of Career Pulse DC, Margaret and Fraser talk with executive coach and author Karen Thrall about managing anger, navigating conflict, and redefining respect in the workplace. Karen breaks down why most workplace tension stems from mismatched expectations rather than bad intent, and offers practical frameworks for responding in the moment—from her “Now vs. Later” approach to staying calm while still speaking up. The conversation also explores how communication norms, tone, and energy shape how we’re perceived, especially in high-pressure environments like DC, and why learning to regulate reactions is critical for both individual contributors and leaders. About Our Guest Karen Thrall is the author of Don’t Lose Your Sht at Work*—you can learn more at karenthrall.com, find her book on Amazon, and catch her in Washington, DC on May 12 for an in-person workshop.

Why Gen Z Is Struggling to Get Hired—And What Actually Works Now with Liz Helton

Beyond the Stereotypes: Generations at Work in 2026 with Tess Brigham
In this episode of Career Pulse DC, Margaret sits down with Tess Brigham, host of Gen Mess with Tess, to unpack how generational experiences, from Boomers to Gen Z, are shaping today’s workplace. Drawing on over 20 years as a licensed psychotherapist and coach, Tess offers a rare, ground-level view of how technology, COVID, burnout, and shifting cultural norms are influencing how people work, lead, and define success. This conversation moves beyond stereotypes to explore curiosity, empathy, and sustainability at work — and why the future of leadership may look very different than the past. Key Topics & Takeaways Generational stereotypes vs. realityWhy age should be treated as context, not a conclusion. Gen Z, AI, and the future of hiringWhy younger workers are not immune to anxiety about AI, automation, and resume filtering — and how curiosity (not fear) is the most adaptive response. Managing across age gapsWhat seasoned professionals should remember when reporting to younger managers — and why ego is often the biggest obstacle to career longevity. Networking without the cringeReframing networking as generosity, curiosity, and relationship-building — not self-promotion or transactional hustle. Why Gen X feels invisible (and exhausted)How being a “small sandwich generation” shaped Gen X leadership styles, burnout, and difficulty delegating — and what they can learn from Gen Z. Millennials as managersWhy millennials often equate responsiveness with value, struggle to unplug, and carry invisible pressure to optimize everything — including their own lives. Workplace empathy ≠ therapyHow managers can validate employees’ experiences without becoming their therapist — and why simple acknowledgment goes further than people think. About the Guest Tess Brigham is a licensed psychotherapist, certified coach, author, and TEDx speaker based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She hosts the Gen Mess with Tess podcast, where she explores generational psychology, work, identity, and mental health in a rapidly changing world.
