S1 EP10: What Makes a Great Leader in 2025 | Leading Gen X, Millennials & Gen Z

What does it take to be a great leader in 2025? 🌍 In this insightful episode, we sit down with Alena, a Filipina Gen X leader with over 30 years of experience working across generations — from Boomers and Gen X to Millennials and Gen Z — to explore what modern leadership really looks like, and why the old ways no longer work. From connecting with millennials, Gen Z and managing burnout, to striking the right balance between control and freedom, Alena shares powerful insights that today’s leaders can’t afford to overlook. She reflects on how leadership has evolved — shifting from authority toward empathy — and why the real challenge lies in finding that middle ground where confidence meets compassion. Through real stories and lessons from decades in the Philippine corporate and tech world, she reminds us that great leadership is less about titles, and more about character, communication, and emotional intelligence. Also joining us is Elissa, our guest co-host from “Moving to Spain in Her Late 30s: Life as a Tita,” who brings a fresh perspective on empathy, adaptability, and leadership growth in 2025. Together, we dive deep into what it means to lead with balance, trust, and purpose in an ever-changing workplace. 🎙️ WHAT WE TALK ABOUT: 00:00 – Intro 01:07 – Leadership Style & Personal Brand 04:54 – Leading Multi-Generational Teams (Gen Z to Boomers) 07:55 – Difficult Conversations & Handling Tough Situations 10:49 – Building Trust & Strong Workplace Relationships 21:38 – Communicating with Executives & Higher-Ups 23:28 – Advice for Aspiring Leaders 26:10 – Measuring Success as a Leader 28:02 – Key Takeaways 💬 Perfect for you if: • You’re a Filipino leader, manager, or team lead • You want to bridge the gap between generations • You value empathy, communication, and emotional intelligence • You’re navigating leadership in a hybrid or fast-changing workplace Pull up a chair — this is leadership redefined for a new generation. ✨ 📱 SAY HI: Instagram:   / chikaandsangria   TikTok:   / chikaandsangria   📌 DON’T FORGET TO: ✔️ Subscribe – so you never miss a chika (aka heart-to-heart catch-up) ✔️ Like & Comment – we read and appreciate every word! ✔️ Share this episode with your favorite people 💬 ✨ A QUICK NOTE ✨ Take what resonates and leave the rest — you know yourself best. ❤️ 👋 ABOUT US We’re two Filipinas in our 30s, navigating love, work, and life after years of living abroad.

Each episode explores the honest realities of life abroad — from adapting to Spanish work culture and dating, to identity, balance, self-discovery, and starting over far from home. Expect warmth, laughter, and honest chika over sangría (or whatever drink’s in your hand). If you’re a Pinoy in Spain, dreaming of moving abroad, or simply figuring out life and career in your 30s — pull up a chair, pour your favorite drink, and let’s talk. 🍷 🎙️ Topics we cover: living in Spain, working abroad, career growth, moving to Spain, love and healing, adulting, friendships, Barcelona living, dating abroad, and podcast healing moments. 📍 New episodes weekly — one chika and sangría at a time.
