Guiding the Next Great Generation: Rethinking How Teens Become Confident and Capable Adults
Ebook
It's cliché to say today's adults hope the best for the next
generation, yet fear the worst. As the gap between generations
widens and our shared experiences dwindle, adults find it
increasingly difficult to connect with and remain relevant to
today's young people. So the question is, what values can we pass
on that will help them to become the next great generation? And how
do we communicate those values effectively?
In this paradigm-shifting book, Jonathan Catherman shares with
adults raised in the 1900s a fresh look at guiding 21st-century
youth to become confident and capable adults. With relevant
research and real-world examples, Catherman shows us the benefits
of practicing and teaching four principles that will unite and
empower us all:
- build bridges between generations
- transform raw talent into valued strengths
- practice stewardship before leadership
- live with purpose
Whether the emerging generation knows it or not, they need you.
Their greatness tomorrow begins with your guidance today.
