The Art of Connecting The Art of Connecting
How to Overcome Differences, Build Rapport, And Communicate Effectively With Anyone

by Claire Raines & Lara Ewing
AMACOM Publications, 2006
$24.95

In an increasingly diverse workplace, it's more important and challenging than ever to communicate well. We must build bridges that cross our differences to connect our similarities. The Art of Connecting reveals five core principles and presents corresponding, specific strategies for overcoming communications barriers and connecting effectively with anyone, regardless of professional, generational, ethnic, cultural, or other differences.

The authors also explain how the most skillful connectors are able to shift perspectives-to see a situation from three points of view: "me," "you," and "them." All of the principles and strategies are brought to life through absorbing examples and scenarios, plus engaging descriptions of "masters of connection"--like famed National Public Radio interviewer Terry Gross--doing what they do.

Connecting Generations:
The Sourcebook for a New Workplace

by Claire Raines
Crisp Publications, 2003
$16.95

"Connecting Generations is a valuable resource for today's diversity practitioner who often operates with limited resources and limited time. Companies interested in diversity will find that this book offers numerous, easy-to-implement learning tools and exercises."    -Nikki Moss, DTE Energy

The 4-Generation Workplace is Here to Stay...
The new multi-generation workplace is a complex and dynamic organism that requires flexibility and skill from everyone, especially from managers. People of all ages can work side-by-side and draw from the rich mixture of skill and experience. This book shows how it can be done. This sourcebook is filled with anecdotes, tips, principles, and practical information acquired by Claire Raines in more than 15 years working with people in companies large and small. This is not a book of pat answers and rigid models; it is a resource for developing informed policy and sensitive action when dealing with the newest aspect of diversity in the workplace.

The Xers & The Boomers: From Adversaries to Allies 
by Claire Raines & Jim Hunt
Crisp Publications, 2000. $14.95

Twentysomething: Managing & Motivating Today's New Workforce 
by Claire Raines and Larry Bradford
MasterMedia, 1992.

This book leads readers through a communication process that bridges two generations known as Baby Boomers and Generation Xers. Looking at 12 key issues called “Delineators,” the book examines the different views of each of these two groups and the contempt they sometimes have for each other’s views. Using fill-ins, vignettes, checklists, and some very creative table turning, the book shows that there are ways to resolve these conflicts and create a new set of shared concerns and values. Paperback. 

This was the first book to address the issue of Generation X for managers, and it laid the foundation for understanding today's younger workers.
