Generations@Work

We've seen the media coverage being given to the generations at work, largely focused on Gen Y (aged 17-27). But what about the rest of the staff. Where do they fit in? How do they feel about the attention and the realities of the workplace now? And do you know how to to handle those realities to make sure everyone gets on together? There's some interesting research coming out, some positive perspectives on it all too.

• Check out the research appearing on the subject See
• Hear Jennifer speak on Generations@Work or Generations@War

Complimentary Coaching Session

Give yourself time and space to reflect on where you are going and how well, to focus on solutions rather than the problems?

• Or yourself?

Taking the First Steps to Change

Jo Kruithof wrote a response to our article on New Year Resolutions last month, pointing out the real difficulties of making purposeful change, the part that is so often overlooked, overcoming initial resistance sufficiently to take the first step. Read Jo's comments here.

Taking those First Steps, even defining them in the first place, are usually the most difficult parts of the equation. But there are solutions. Find out How to Help People Take the First Steps.
