Networking seems to be working for all generations. Networking allows them to share ideas. Baby Boomers and Seniors are finding the Internet a great source for networking and self-reinvention. These resources are gearing toward retirees and those facing retirement, offering avenues to create supplemental income as rising costs affect their savings.
The USA is now locked in the grip of an economic upheaval that promises to change the way we do business and live our lives. We recognize that many individuals who reach the age of 60 are not physically, mentally, or financially prepared to enjoy the so-called “Golden Years.” In order to meet the challenges facing us in these days of great uncertainty, we must take a critical look at how problems are approached and solved. Traditional methods just won’t cut it anymore. The time is NOW to literally re-invent the way we think and solve problems related to the ways we work and live. We call it “personal re-invention.”
The Over60Exchange.com team is developing a program to help Boomers and Seniors create and implement Personal Re-Invention programs. The first step was to create Personal Re-Invention Guidelines. The next step will be to offer participation in Personal Re-Invention Programs. Those willing to engage in critical assessment and change of current mind-sets will be invited to participate in online forums focused on “personal re-invention.” Personal identity need not be revealed.
I invite you to check us out at www.Over60Exchange.com. And remember, we are evolving this web site. When we are ready, you can participate in “Personal Re-Invention.”
I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

| What is the recipe for success when four generations enter the workforce with different values, expectations, and approaches? How do you navigate through the differences and reach common ground?
Join Misti Burmeister from 3:30 - 5:30 PM to learn the “Five Shifts to Common Understanding” to build relationships across generations. She’ll discuss how to work with the different generational needs, wants, and expectations. You’ll leave with the strategies and approaches to work more effectively and productively with your employees, bosses, and team members from different generations.
At 6 PM, join our candid and compelling panel discussion and hear stories from different generations about what they’ve learned and how they work with their peers and co-workers of other generations. You’ll have a chance to participate in large and small groups to hear how others address these issues and achieve results. Panel members include Angela Hamilton, Associate Partner of GALLUP Consulting; Rita Shor, Program Director, Brand, Council Conference Board, NYC; Danni Starr, Ms. MN International 2007 and B96 Radio personality; and Dawna Capps Evans, Regional Vice President at Traveler’s Insurance.
