[Fredslist] 7 Secrets of Collaborative Dialogue

[Tessa Marquis]

Shoes. Ask about their shoes.

 

I love working with younger people, and most of my volunteer work is in
groups of younger folks (19 - 30), probably because of the interests that
bring us together. What they lack in skills is made up for by enthusiasm and
energy. It is also important, I believe, to be more interested in them than
you are in yourself. I was with a 14 year old last week and reminded him
that he hasn't finished his lesson in lapel-button construction with me from
a few months ago. We also discussed his hair and of course his footwear. 

 

But generally if they are young professionals it is legit to start with
their career. If they are in a networking situation, that is after all what
they are there to talk about.

Based on Phyllis' specialty of intergenerational communication, I had a
question for her which other Gothamites might also have an interest in.
Phyllis graciously agreed to answer my question on FredsList so that we
might all benefit from her expertise.

 

My question is how to break the ice when networking with a much younger
group.  I have recently been attending events with professionals much
younger than myself and would love some tips about feeling comfortable when
there is a very obvious age difference.
