Learn From Work or Home

With the Engaging Generations distance learning program, you receive a comprehensive system that includes a PowerPoint presentation with narration, White Papers, and e-mail support:

  1. A 45-slide PowerPoint presentation defines the four major generations and their values and teaches how to communicate effectively and mobilize people to be most productive. The narrative supplies background and additional information for each slide.
  2. Six White Papers synthesize more than two years of research into two-page executive briefs. Topics cover generational differences in core values, work ethic, values, motivation, leadership, recognition, and volunteerism. Plus we include a complete list of references, in case you want to do additional reading.
  3. Access by e-mail for up to six months of support from our University of Illinois Extension professionals. Ask any question you have about applying Engaging Generations to your situation.

Where else can you study research-based information from your own home, while still having access to experts and even the program developers, all to support applying your new knowledge quickly and easily to improve your organization?

Don't worry—the cost is quite affordable. You receive all the materials described for only $199.

Consider the returns on your investment:

  • You receive a research-based program on a topic of critical importance to executives, managers, and small-business owners, as well as for all interpersonal communication across generational lines.
  • You learn strategies for engaging the "workforce of tomorrow," Generation Y—one that many managers consider extremely challenging. You also learn how to mobilize employees from Generation X, the Baby Boomers, and the Radio Generation, each of which respond to significantly different values and motivators.
  • You discover the secrets to improving your marketing messages to address people from different generations.
  • You learn how to help your employees communicate most effectively with one another and form stronger teams.
  • You gain access, at no extra charge, to the experts who have developed this program at the University of Illinois so you can ask questions specific to applying Engaging Generations to your organization.

Remember that this is a research-based program developed at the highly respected University of Illinois. We've synthesized proven, peer-reviewed research to bring these materials to you at a reasonable cost.

And to assure your satisfaction, we are here to answer your questions and engage in dialogue by email after you study the materials!
