My heart goes out to all Gothamites and families who have suffered damage or loss of power in the monster storm Sandy. Let me know if I can help you. Thankfully, we have been fine.
For a positive distraction, here are my monthly insights on generational diversity challenges - and some observations from my exhilarating recent Baltic vacation to 3 cities.
Enjoy!

> PASSION AND WORK:
> A GEN Y TELLS IT LIKE IT IS
>
> In almost every group discussion I’ve participated in with college students and young alums as a mentor, cross-generational networker, coach or friend, the question of following or having a passion in one’s work comes up. It’s become gospel that “passion” is necessary to succeed or be happy in or at work. And at networking meetings we are frequently asked to mention our passions to build relationships. In a discussion at a dinner meeting of students and alumni of the Cornell Women’s Network this summer, I took the opportunity to speak up for those who haven’t identified a passion (yet) or maybe don’t know what passion is for them. (I am passionate about my work and other things now, but for a long time I thought that there were a lot of things I like a lot but didn’t know what the passion was supposed to feel like that we – not just the young - are supposed to follow.)

> So I was delighted to read a Gen Y/Millennial contribution to the New York Times “Preoccupations” column (9/30/12) titled “Follow a Passion? Let It Follow You.” He explains and explores the myth and relates his own experience. It also helps to explain the new label “Hesitation Generation.”

> Has this changed your mind about the “follow your passion” gospel? Has it reduced your stress if you have not identified a passion or worry that your choice may prove less than perfect? Please share your thoughts.

> * The generational chronology for easy reference: Generations are defined by the similar formative influences – social, cultural, political, economic – that existed as the individuals of particular birth cohorts were in adolescent-early adult years. Given that premise, the age breakdowns for each of the four generations currently in the workplace are approximately:
