Our inaugural program for 2008 took an entertaining and practical look at five generations in the workplace: the Veteran or G.I. Generation, the Silent Generation, the Baby Boom Generation, Generation X and Generation Y -- all of whom were represented at our program! And all of whom were quite outspoken!
After the lively and light-hearted presentation by our speaker, Kassia Dellabough, an independent consultant operating the Institute for Creative Learning (LERN.org), attendees had much more insight into the perceived quirks of those co-workers from different generations who are "not like us."
Bottom line? We CAN work together -- our complementary strengths and perspectives bringing creativity, experience, and improved levels of teamwork when we bring open minds and open hearts to the table.
Thank you, Kassia, for a valuable and informative presentation!
