The Center For Intergenerational Engagement

With Millennials becoming the largest generation in the workplace, many Baby Boomer and Gen X led organizations are focused on “figuring out” their Millennial employees. There are many books and resources dedicated to managing Millennials. The Center for Intergenerational Engagement goes beyond Millennials and helps all generations understand themselves and others in their social circles. This understanding helps break down communication barriers to create a more productive and efficient team environment. Dillon Kalkhurst, The Center's founder and Author of Intergenerational Engagement - Understanding the Five Generations in Today’s Economy has more than twenty years’ experience helping Fortune 500 companies, national nonprofit organizations, schools and parent groups embrace their newfound “Age Diversity.” Most recently, Dillon was charged with engaging over 1.6 million Millennial parent volunteers for a large children’s book publisher. “For decades, I’ve worked with companies and organizations where I witness the same thing over and over. Negative generational stereotypes getting in the way of effective communications.” Dillon says, “I wrote this book to dispel stereotypes and help people from every generation recognize the strengths and unique contributions their intergenerational counterparts can provide the organization. When everyone becomes self-aware of their own generational preferences and values, then seeks to understand others, that is called Intergenerational Engagement.” Everyone can benefit from reading Dillon's book, Intergenerational Engagement and having the Center for Intergenerational Engagement present at your next corporate event or conference. CEOs, managers, employees, educators, and even parents will become more self-aware and learn to ask themselves if the challenging people in their professional and personal lives are being difficult, or are they just different?
