 Lynne
C. Lancaster is co-founder, with business partner David Stillman,
of BridgeWorks, a company dedicated to speaking, writing and consulting
on generational issues in the workplace and the marketplace. Lynne
and David are the rare combination of a classic Baby Boomer and
an entrepreneurial Generation Xer who, together, explore the sometimes
frustrating, often hilarious, and always thought-provoking challenges
of communicating between generations.
Lynne is a Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude graduate of the University
of Minnesota with a B.A. in English Literature. She earned her
stripes as a management consultant, coaching managers and senior
executives on communication issues. Her work with CEO author Harvey
Mackay resulted in five best-selling business books, including Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive.
Lynne’s research on intergenerational communication was
inspired by the challenges faced by her clients in recruiting,
retaining, managing and marketing to up to four generations at
once. Her keynote speeches and workshops have received rave reviews
from Fortune 500 companies and associations alike. Articles on
Lynne have appeared in The Futurist, Ladies Home Journal, Journal
of the American Bar Association, The Los Angeles Times, Nation’s
Business, Success Magazine, and The Washington Post.
Lynne and David are co-authors of When Generations Collide:
Who They Are. Why They Clash. How to Solve the Generational Puzzle
at Work (HarperCollins 2002), a lively, entertaining and savvy
new book on several “best seller” lists, including
the number one spot on two. In March, they were featured in a full-page
TIME Magazine article, and over the past few months they have appeared
on CNN, CNBC and numerous local TV and radio shows nationwide.
