FEATURE ARTICLE WITH THE NEXT GEN of dōTERRA How would you describe the millennial generation/Gen Z? Our generation is so often scrutinized. We’re so interesting to people. We’re a little experiment they want to analyze. They call us lazy, but we’re not lazy. We’re intolerant. We’ve seen what’s possible, we’ve seen what people are capable of, and we’ve seen the vision of the world we want to see—a world that works for everyone—and we’re not going to settle. We don’t settle for products that aren’t clean or for companies that don’t source ethically. We’re not willing to settle because we have seen what could be and should be, and that’s what we’re striving toward. Regan Jayne, Diamond—Regan was born in 1995, where the millennial generation ends and Gen Z begins. As she builds her dōTERRA® business all over the world, Regan has her hand in various other ventures, including attending Harvard to earn her master’s degree in nutrition. What are challenges you’ve experienced as a millennial that might be holding others back from becoming builders? As younger builders, we don’t have as large of a network size as some because we simply haven’t been on the planet as long as most of the people building dōTERRA businesses. We have to get creative about how we network. We use social media more and are strategic with our interactions and collaborations. We’re not so much targeting someone who wants to be a network marketing distributer. We’re constantly ideating; we are always thinking of creative ways to pull dōTERRA into other entrepreneurial ventures. If someone has an entrepreneurial dream, we say, “Hey, you can achieve this with dōTERRA. Why don’t we get your business going? This is integrity marketing. You love these products anyway, so let’s use this as a vehicle to make your dream happen, whatever it is.” dōTERRA is not the end for most of us—it’s a piece of the puzzle, the artwork we’re creating with our lives. It’s about a bigger picture. 20 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I APR | MAY | JUN 2020
