Photos and video by Henriette Sabroe Ebbesen.

Ebbesen has been spotlighted by the editors of Vogue Italia and Photo Vogue as a photographer to keep an eye on. By using different kinds of mirrors and reflective materials she blurs the lines between photography and painting, creating a symbolic boundary between reality and imagination. Her artworks are small science experiments on how the human body, psyche and world in general can be visualized and interpreted, depending on the mind and eyes of the beholder. One time he taught me that time is relative depending on your position in the universe and how everything in the universe has its own time and rhythm. I guess this is when I must lean back and trust the universe. Learning about this made me think that the theories of physics could act like a parallel description of our own life path: Changes in our lives is what determines our growth and what makes us able to look back on our lives divided by different events and episodes.

Advice for intergenerational harmony in a changing workplace.

“I love to turn to people who are younger than me and say, ‘I’d love to know how you would approach that. “When you’re on the corporate side, they train you, especially if you’ve been a people manager, to have a filter.” “We know through research that we all have formative experiences that we go through: Roughly, things that you experienced between age 5 and 20, when your brain isn’t fully formed, really have a more profound effect on you and your life than they might on somebody older,” says Gerhardt. Are your parents and grandparents the only elderly people you talk to regularly? “Then they got so many complaints because a large part of their constituents were elderly people who did not necessarily have access, and all of a sudden thought the newsletter was gone,” she recounts. “The fact that older people are presumed not to know how to use technology is completely inaccurate. “It wasn’t something that crossed the minds of the leadership team as they were making this change—because there wasn’t anybody representing that age group, or at least that demographic on their team.” In a recent offsite I conducted, we went around the table and talked about our preferred means of communication across meetings and one-on-one interactions—and what tools and platforms optimized for each. So it results in workplaces with a combination of people of all stages needing to partner, support each other, and collaborate with whomever is nearby—across a lot of lines of difference, including age.” “That’s because age and generation can show up very differently in the way that you view things in your experience. For example, a Gen X manager might want to pause and really deliberate before they greenlight a new strategy, not because they are slow and resistant to change, but because they laid off 50 employees in their last startup and don’t want to go through that again. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard that phrase throughout my career (and sometimes used it myself) to explain away confusion, miscommunication, contrasting points of view, or different styles of working.
