‘Intergenerationalness’ seems to be a pretty hot topic in the world of online writing/blogging. In light of my own development as a young professional, I wanted to share these websites/blogs that I refer to for knowledge geared towards developing my own capacities as as professional. The blogs below have a focus on HELPING. They offer great tools and tips for millennials to be successful in the workplace.
Employee Evolution
http://www.employeeevolution.com/
Lots and lots of tips, lists and how to’s from fellow millennials on this blog network. Two of my favorite posts from this blog:
They also “consult and speak with organizations on best practices for recruiting and retaining Generation Y and how to effectively use social media to reach target markets”.
Brazen Careerist
http://www.brazencareerist.com/
This site is an online community network of professional Gen Y bloggers. I know that through my own work in connecting/helping with VISTAs (many in their early/mid 20s), the issues are very pertinent and resonant for me and my peers. Two of my favorite parts on this website are:
- Coachology – it’s an area that also houses a directory of coaches that write about and respond to workplace challenges facing Gen Y
- Pay Day = D-day – this was a post particularly relevant to me. Do one’s spending habits really have to be so difficult to manage?
Millennial Leaders
http://www.millennialleaders.com/blog/
This is a blog started up around a book called ‘Millennial Leaders’. Bea Fields – the author, is a mother of three ‘Gen Y’ers’ and works professionally as a Leadership and Team Coaching consultant for “high growth companies, non-profit organizations and medium-sized businesses”. Two of my favorite posts (it was so hard to choose!) are:
- Why Gen Y Needs Leadership by Greg Rollett
- New Study Reveals Generation Y Careerists Are Least Engaged At Work
There are loads of great posts on the topic of leadership and the way it relates to millennials in the workplace. Bea is a true generation bridger in her conversations with millennials and her writing and research about those conversations.
