1 Introduction

With 4 generations in the workplace, how do you help bridge the communication gap, begin meaningful dialog, and create cohesive, productive teams?

Shifting Years discusses how multiple generations working together should be leveraged as a source of great potential instead of a cause for tension. By finding a common ground, respecting differences, and letting go of assumptions, great things can happen!

Hosted by Seeing Red Cars author, Laura Goodrich, Shifting Years aims to generate discussions and open-mindedness between all age groups. Shifting Years reminds us that it’s how we choose to work together that determines our success.

We are all individuals, not stereotypes. We need to be intentional about creating positive relationships - but how do we do it? –Laura Goodrich, Shifting Years

Shifting Years approaches generational differences in a new way. Rather than simply offering ways to deal with these differences, Shifting Years highlights how we must first build relationships by focusing on our similarities. Only then can we truly appreciate the value and unique perspective that each generation can contribute.
