    Connecting with people from different generations can be difficult. However, as a young professional I want to try and do my part to make the communication flow a little easier. For you Boomers, Gen X and Gen Yers what are some things you wish you were learning from each other? (Boomers) What things to you wish younger generations would teach you or (Gen Yers) what things are we missing out on knowing from our experienced counterparts?

    I've always been one for taking on leadership roles, but as a young professional a lot of times you aren't the final decision maker on what happens with a project. What are some tips on being a leader even if you aren't in charge?

    I caught my boyfriend reading this book the other day, "The Art of Manliness" by Brett McKay and Kate McKay http://artofmanliness.com/thebook. At first I wanted to laugh, but the more I thought about it... who knows how we are suppose "to do" life these days? How can I laugh at him for trying to figure it out? Isn't that what everyone is trying to do essentially... eHow.com, How-to ________ (fill in the blank) books, Yahoo! Answers... the list goes on and on. So where are the answers?

About Me

I am a recent graduate of Marquette University, where I received a top-notch liberal arts education. I am now embarking on the first chapter of my adult and professional life and am constantly bombarded with questions about how, we as young people, plan to leave our mark on the world. Also, I enjoy drinking coffee, reading, wondering why the world is the way it is and listening to hits from the 60s (at the same time!).
