Boomers Face Challenges Relating to Other Generations

There was a time when we, as Baby Boomers, were perceived as the generation in charge. We led the way in influencing fashion, language, the arts, politics, and especially in how people should relate to each other. And even today, at 78 million strong, we are still a force to reckon with, but, like all generations before us, the torch is passing.

Many Boomers feel like islands in a stream, longing to communicate with those older or younger than ourselves, but finding it tough to achieve that meeting of the minds. This communication gap can cause severe problems, especially in the workplace. Because of the challenging economic situation, there are so many of us, especially older Boomers, who are unable (or unwilling) to retire and who have to (or want to) keep working. Therefore, being able to relate to those who are younger and may be in charge can have a huge impact on our careers, or even on whether or not we even have a job.
