Believe it or not…there’s life after the Millennial generation. A new generation is impacting our workplace and not enough leaders are paying attention! Are you ready for Gen Z? The leading edge of Gen Z is well into their 20s. They are not like the Millennials, which means your recruitment and retention strategies need to change.

Make Way for the Gen Z Consumer

Do they shop online? In-store? What does loyalty look like? These questions and more are addressed as the newest generation of customers pulls out their wallets. Gen Z has disposable income to spend, but only if marketers can connect with them.

More than their own disposable funds, Gen Z’s influence on family spending is the highest it’s ever been. If brands want to find success in the future, then understanding the Gen Z customer is paramount.

Based on national studies, insights from focus groups, and working with some of the world’s top brands, find out what it takes to connect with, sell to, and retain the Gen Z customer.

In “Make Way for the Gen Z Consumer” you will learn:

Speaker Options: David and Jonah together, or either of them individually. Available as a 30-90 minute keynote or as a half-day workshop.

Breakout Options

In addition to a customized, insightful and entertaining keynote or workshop, clients like to also include a more interactive breakout.

Generations Fireside Chat

In this ask-the-author session, smaller groups can gather to take a deeper dive into what they most want to know about all the generations. From Baby Boomers retiring to sandwiched Gen Xers to Millennials labeled as “entitled” or Gen Z and their desire for side hustles — no topic is off limits. Participants can ask questions or share insights that are top of mind. David Stillman and/or Jonah Stillman will present relevant quantitative and qualitative data, tell stories, and share best practices. This fireside chat takes Q&A to a deeper and more customized level.

What Celebrities and Thought Leaders Want to Know About Gen Z

What did Oprah, Mark Cuban, Arianna Huffington, Ashton Kutcher, Seth Rogan, and the CEOs of Nike, Coke, Zappos, Uber (and many more) want to know?
We’ve interviewed a multitude of celebrities and top business leaders what’s on their minds when it comes to this newest generation. They chose the questions, and we ran the surveys. The answers are informative, engaging, and insightful. Even better, this breakout is interactive as audiences get to choose the celebrity questions, see the results, and discuss the implications.

What Our Partners Say

“I, like many, have heard many presentations on the generations, but this one stood out as one of the best. While most thought leaders on generational differences focus all the attention on Millennials, Jonah was able to introduce this new generation in such an exciting way that definitely captured the audience’s attention!”

Keith Ferrazzi

“The format was an innovative ‘point-counterpoint’ approach that was both informative and entertaining. The combination of a ‘Gen Xer’ (David) and a ‘Gen Zer’ (Jonah) was perfect for our diverse audience. It made the research come to life in a way that didactic presentations or videos just can’t accomplish.”
