Silent Generation
The Silent Generation and their impact on Baby Boomers
The Silent Generation, often overlooked in the generational conversation, is an indispensable part of our societal structure. The Silent Generation, also know as the Traditionalist Generation, is a demographic cohort of people born between 1928 and 1945. They are the generation that came after the Greatest Generation and before the Baby Boomers. They are the children of the Great Depression and World War II. Their silent label refers to their conformist and civic instincts and makes for a nice contrast with the noisy ways of the Baby Boomers.
Their experiences instilled in them a deep appreciation for hard work, frugality, and perseverance. Despite being tagged ‘silent,’ they have significantly influenced our world, contributing to the foundation upon which Baby Boomers and subsequent generations have built their lives.
The Silent Generation may not be the loudest voice in the room, but their influence is undeniable. From stabilizing post-war America to setting the stage for the civil rights movements, their contributions continue to shape our world. Our experts below explore how our parent’s generation has effected us through our entire lives.

Photo by Geralt via PixabayAttract the Right Job or Clientele:How to Take an Admirable Plus Commanding LeadMy upfront confession is that I had never watched sports on television before, as other things were on my mind. However, there is a lot of buzz about the new Commanders’ Coach and the new Team. I surprised everyone last Sunday by sitting down to watch the Commanders play. With business always in mind, I focused on their strategic plays, which significantly differed from previous seasons. You may wonder how football may be related to business growth. Sports is a huge in…

As the New Year festivities fade, each January reminds us of the passage of time. There is a tendency to look back with regret at roads not taken, and perhaps even despair at what the future holds.Yet this time of year can also encourage more positive reflection. It was probably in early January of 44 BCE that Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Roman politician, orator, and philosopher, sat down to write On Old Age.GoodreadsAt 62, Cicero had endured personal and political losses. The year before, his daughter Tullia had died from complications from childbirth (the baby likely dying soon af…

As I get older, I find myself dispensing more advice to those younger than me. Obviously, some of it is intentional through my writing, but a certain amount is organic. It is honoring and humble to have someone else seek your council. Transferring knowledge and experience to improve the lives of others can be a way to leave an essence of yourself to carry on in the future.I’ve been blessed to have wonderful mentors throughout my career and have benefited from the assistance and instruction these tutors generously gave me as I navigated corporate life.

Citrus just says sunshine. Which could explain why so many of us (me included) crave these sweet fruits during the winter months. But unlike many of my cravings, that’s apparently not a bad thing. Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and mandarins are not only bursting with flavor but also packed with nutrients that contribute to overall health—and according to some studies, maybe even longevity.To start, citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C. You probably already knew that, but the benefits don’t stop there: they also contain a hefty dose of good-for-you flavonoids, fiber, and potassi…
