Speech Titles and Descriptions:

THE GENERATIONS IN A NEW WORLD

With the recent Coronavirus pandemic, businesses, families, and communities at large have been changed forever. No longer is the goal to return to life as we knew it, but instead to navigate the best path forward.

The Stillman's global study of the generations in this new world reveals that each generation has been changed in unique and different ways.

RESULTS INCLUDE:
• Baby boomers rage against age.
• Gen Xers becoming the sandwiched generation.
• Millennials new outlook on loyalty.
• Gen Z’s struggle to gain social capital.

THE GENERATIONS IN A NEW WORLD is an uplifting conversation around what has changed and what has not for each generation.

A combination of primary data, case studies, and first hand stories explain the traits that each generation can bring to the table as we repair our world.

In addition, areas of concern with each generation are discussed, so that we can all be more aware of how to help each other.

This presentation is customized, high-energy, informative, and entertaining. Best of all, each keynote or workshop has tangible take home tips.

 

ARE YOU READY FOR GEN Z?

This dynamic father-son multi-generational duo share results from three national surveys, case studies and interviews with hundreds of CEOs about what makes Gen Z unique and what leaders need to know.

Jonah is the first and only Gen Z speaker on the circuit and brings his generational perspective firsthand to every presentation.

Gen Xer, David, has spent twenty years researching, writing and speaking about the generations and brings the Traditionalists, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials perspective to the presentation.

Together they are waking audiences up to what it will take to bridge the gaps with Gen Z.

You’ll laugh, you’ll think and, best of all, you’ll be ahead of the curve.

TAKE 5: TRADITIONALISTS, BOOMERS, XERS, MILLENNIALS - AND NOW GEN Z!

For the first time in history, we have five generations in the workplace and marketplace. Not one generation is stagnant, so staying on top of how their generational personalities play out can be challenging.

You may think you know the generations, but the Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials are carving out new territory as they evolve. And here comes the latest twist – the arrival of Generation Z. Just when you think you’ve bridged all the gaps, it’s time to learn what happens when the generations still collide at:

• Workplace: recruiting, retaining, communicating.
• Marketplace: customer service and sales.
• Giving: how to attract and retain donor and volunteers.

This energizing, fresh, informative and funny update on the generations will help you identify the gaps creating mayhem in your workplace and marketplace, apply smart solutions to help you navigate multi-generational minefields, and ultimately, look at the generations in a whole new way.

In “Take 5”, you will learn:

• Where all the generations are in their careers today.
• What each generation needs to be successful.
• What it takes to connect with each generation of consumers.
• What generations are more similar? Different?

MILLENNIALS VS. GENERATION Z

If only we could group our younger workforce and marketplace into one generation – life would be easier. In many ways, leaders have been operating that way and have not learned from the past.

History is repeating itself…flashback to the 1990s when Generation X was entering the workplace. Most thought the Xers would be just like the Baby Boomers and tried to treat them that way. KABOOM! Generational collisions were everywhere.

In today’s workplace and marketplace, too many are assuming everyone under 30 is the same – or are all Millennials.  Gen Z and Millennials are nothing alike!

“Millennials vs. Generation Z” will:

• Unpack the key differences between Millennials and Gen Z.
• Showcase how Boomers and Xers different parenting styles had radically different results.
• Explain how Millennials’ collaborative nature and Gen Z’s competitive drive plays out at work.
• Identify what leaders need to know to manage each unique generation.
• Highlight areas the generations will click and clash.
