Generation Z in College and the Workplace

Generation Z in College and the Workplace

 I just wanted to thank you for coming and speaking with my Economics class! I really liked the presentation. It left the students wondering about the topic and generated new thoughts for them. We found your style very engaging .  :-)  I told our principal about you and your topics and he was interested.  I also showed him the book that you gave me (I can't wait to read it) and he wanted to borrow it.  He said it was a wonderful book and would love to get one for each of the teachers here.  Can he purchase some from you?  I can't wait for your next visit!  Deary High School; Economics Teacher; Deary, Idaho

Generation Z in College and the Workplace

 We had a group discussion about your presentation today and the conclusion was overwhelming and unanimous: they want you back to finish the presentation! They really appreciated your presentation style ("best speaker yet") and wanted more content about how their generation is fitting in and shaping the workplace. They really identified with your discussion about personality types and how they interact with one another.  We also agreed--if you are willing--to have you finish the talk with the smaller group of 16 that are in my Careers classroom right now.  They feel it would be easier to interact with the smaller group in the u-shaped setting . . . let's make this happen.  I am so glad we will get to work together again!"  Kamiah High School Teacher and Counselor; Kamiah, Idaho
