Business Results depend on your people. To win the battle for talent, businesses must meet the challenges of today's generationally diverse workforce. Claire Raines is considered one of the nation's leading experts on the generations at work. She is an award-winning author, dynamic speaker, and highly-regarded consultant.
  
Claire co-authored four management books: Generations at Work (named one of the top business books of 2000),  The Xers & The Boomers, Beyond Generation X, and  Twentysomething. She has been featured widely in the  media, including CNN Financial News, the Today  Show, Business Week, and Fast Company. She created the board game Connecting GenerationsTM  and hosted three training videos about  the generations at work.
   
As an internationally recognized speaker, she receives  rave reviews for her keynote speeches which help managers, salespeople, team members, and customer service representatives work more effectively with all  generations. Clients include Microsoft, Toyota,  American Express, Kellogg's, McDonald's,  MasterCard, Coca-Cola, and Sprint.
   
Claire and her husband, Allen, live in Denver and  Fraser, Colorado. They are avid travelers, devoted readers, and decent fly fishermen. They have climbed  eleven of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks.
  
The Conference Board has named GENERATIONS  one of the seminal topics of the year.
