Coping up with young people isn't what older people are supposed to do. It's good that there's someone ready to deal with that kind of situation. Great post.

I've been involved in small interactive marketing agencies for the past few years. There's obviously a generation gap between some management and the specialists. But in this industry, the management tries to think like GenY, because Web 2.0 is our business and the industry revolves (increasingly so) around GenY programmers, designers, developers, writers, and visionaries. I wonder how much the gap still affects our relationships, though. Though the owners and presidents may be able to somewhat speak the business language of GenY, social differences are still rather significant. This post brings up some interesting thoughts.

I think work development is definitely a boom industry in the EU (has been for the last ten years) and always has been at the higher end, but yeah its gone well beyond tennis. Now one can get coached in to how to organise one's life - and 'coaching' on how to date. Well life is mostly fun and an entertaining pass time Hi Penelope, interesting blog

Just last week the Germany's premiere business weekly - Wirtschaftswoche - ran its 2nd bannered article on the coaching profession. This time the magazine went a step farther than just writing about the benefits of coaching. It offeres 20 free coaching programs - at a value of about 7200 Euro (almost $10,000) apiece! - in conjunction with the Dale Carnegie Institute here. Dale Carnegie has obviously discovered the still untapped potential for career coaching in Germany, because this is already the 2nd program of such scholarships that I have heard about. The first being a program specifically pinpointing women in business. All in all, I believe programs like this benefit the individual, the company - and the coaching industry as a whole! The more people (and companies) actually experience coaching as a serious and effective career tool, the easier it will be to attract (and keep) qualified and passionate coaches in the profession.

I think that efforts like these will help the conversation between generations tremendously. I think that open dialog in the workplace is a great start, too. We talk about generational differences at work a lot. Maybe that's because I work in communications in the employment industry. So we communicate about work with each other, since that's our area of expertise. But I find that it helps me understand my Xer boss and co-worker when we just talk about the different ways we view things - in generational context. So for some people, hopefully that is an option, too. What an interesting idea. I think that efforts like these will help the conversation between generations tremendously.
