Generational profiles for professional learning

Being “generationally savvy” is all the rage. Books, blogs and chats are popping up everywhere to explore the issues of working with employees from multiple generations. Jennifer Abrams book, “The Multigenerational Workplace,” provides a practical overview of how to respond to the different lenses and styles that might be present on the job.

With Abrams permission, I have adapted her work to include tips for professional learning facilitators. Here is a chart you can download that captures key characteristics of each generation and some things to keep in mind if you have a mixed audience for your presentations or classes.
