“Jason connects with his audience from the opening minute. He is so entertaining and informative—our group did not want his presentation to end. His insight on the importance of an employee’s first day at work is truly powerful. What a difference we could make if we followed his tips in just this one area!” Barry Sims,
President and CEO “Jason Dorsey knows his generation! He delivers practical strategies supported by real-life examples that managers and executives can immediately use to retain and inspire their young professionals. I recommend him to any company that wants to motivate and retain their young professionals in customer service, leadership or operational positions." Mark A. Meussner, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering “Your keynote presentation was highly educational and highly entertaining. Your insight into not only Gen Y, but the multi-generations of X and Boomer was both thought provoking and right on the mark. The fact that you can keep an audience engaged for over 2 hours and still leave them wanting more is a true testament to your gift as a speaker.” “Having Jason as our keynote speaker provided humorous yet thought provoking information for Dolby’s IT group. Our job is to be ahead of the curve and anticipate future needs of our internal clients so Jason’s insights were timely and provided actionable suggestions that our team embraced with great enthusiasm.” “You were definitely the favorite at our conference. Your presentation brought insight about Gen Y and sparked discussions not only around the tables at the event, but for weeks afterward. You kept the audience captivated and delivered concrete examples. For a very traditional organization such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, you helped us think about the challenges and opportunities we must now encounter while hiring almost 1500 Gen Yer's each year.” “Thank you for providing a fantastic keynote session at the Strategic Communication Management Summit in Toronto, Canada last week. You set the whole tone for the conference. The ideas you brought up during your session were referenced for the next two days. I look forward to working with you again.” “Jason keynoted our annual Operations Management Forum in Indian Wells this year. He had tons of energy and literally had our management force laughing for an hour and 45 minutes. His delivery was stellar and the way he ‘connected the dots’ between the generations left our managers with many ‘aha’ moments and solid ‘take-aways’. "Jason's presentation is packed from start to finish with information, examples and reality checks for all generations. His entertaining personality allows participants of all ages to think about ways to engage Gen Y in the workplace. Be prepared, you audience will beg for an encore!"
“Thank you for the outstanding program you presented to approximately 500 people at our quarterly Leadership Development session. I appreciated the way that you incorporated information about our medical center, as well as our mission into your presentation. I would recommend you without reservation and believe you are a great resource for healthcare institutions where recruitment and retention are essential, and where 3-4 generations work together daily in often tense circumstances." Lynn Gillespie, Vice-President, Human Resources
“Jason's presentations at Dominion were lively, informative and interactive. Almost six months after his talk here in Richmond, our employees are still talking about it! He tells a very important story about the generational changes in our workplaces and how we can make those changes work for everyone. We were fortunate to be able to record the presentation and place a link on our intranet for employees to view at their leisure. To date, that video has been viewed over 1200 times! That's pretty amazing for a one-hour video. To sum it up - Jason is great!” Teri A. Taylor, SPHR, Diversity Consultant “Thank you again for speaking at our NiSource Gas Distribution Operations Leadership Summit. Your perspective on how to successfully mesh and blend multiple generations in the workforce will be invaluable to us as we go through a significant turnover in our workforce over the next five years due to retirements. You should know you received the highest ratings of all the presenters at the summit.” Harris Marple, Senior Vice President “After 32+ years managing workforce development programs, I know that Jason’s loyalty building solutions are a must-have for executives and leaders. Jason delivers the missing perspective for employers seeking to retain and motivate quality employees in competitive environments." Mike Sheridan, Former Executive Director “I want to thank you for the amazing keynote & workshop you delivered. Your presentation far exceeded our expectations. The energy and enthusiasm you brought was contagious. The feedback was unanimous: they want you back and next time for an entire day!!!!! Thank You!!!!” Heidi Olympius, Chairperson, Keynote Committee “I wanted to thank you for making our ICSC meeting a huge success. I have had countless positive comments on your presentation. You were both entertaining and informative and we all left that day feeling that we had learned a great lesson about the different generations and how they interact. I would definitely recommend you as a keynote speaker to other corporate organizations interested in bridging the gap between the four generations now in the workplace.” Steve Bowler, Planning Committee Chairman, 2008 International Council of Shopping Centers Mountain States Idea Exchange “I wanted to tell you how much we appreciate what you did for the SGA Management Conference Centennial Celebration event in Atlanta. It’s been over a month now, and people are still talking about your presentation. We put our faith in you as a keynote speaker for one of the most important events in SGA’s 100 year history and not only did you make us look good, we had fun doing it.” Patrick Downey, Vice President "Jason is the voice of young professionals. His ability to communicate their perspective with leaders of all ages makes him an important resource for shaping the future of our global economy. If your company, organization, city or region is struggling with understanding and motivating young adults, then contact Jason and he will leave you with many ‘a-ha!’ moments that you can implement immediately!" Stuart Mease, City of Roanoke, Special Projects Coordinator for Retaining and Attracting Young Adults "I really appreciated your talk on building Generation Y Loyalty—not only for the aspects of Gen Y, but for other generations as well. I believe, as you explained, Gen Y places higher values on certain things in the workplace that have often been overlooked by employers. While I believe many of the things you discussed are essential for recruiting & maintaining the Gen Y workforce, they are also excellent tools for building a great workplace for other generations." Josh Carnahan, Executive Director, Wyoming Associated Builders "I really got a lot out of your ‘make the first day of employment unforgettable’ and think that using name tags on Gen Y’s first day at work will definitely help with retention! I also liked your idea about coaching them to ask for opportunities. Great Job!" Rod Hensley, Apprenticeship Director, PacifiCorp Energy "Jason offered an enthusiastic, humorous, and pointed presentation where you walked away knowing there is a better way to develop loyalty and commitment from a Gen Y staff member and/or student. The insight Jason brings through his personal experiences and the suggestions he offered for working with Gen Y’ers provided a basis for strengthening relationships and commitment through mutual understanding. It’s not the professorial talk on “when generations collide”, it’s the practical “I am a Gen Y’er” presentation and these are some of my needs. Great stuff!" Mark Englert, Dean of Student & Enrollment Services, Sheridan College "The message from Jason hit home for us Baby Boomers. We've seen it in our kids but maybe thought it was just our kids....the reality is there is an entirely different approach to work and careers with younger workers. Jason shared how to embrace the changes and adjust our work environments to take advantage of all the new ideas coming from this new workforce." Roger Baiers, VP for Cox Business Services, Roanoke, Virginia "Mr. Dorsey delivered a training program on Motivation and Loyalty to the officers of our refinery in Numaligarh, India. The response to his message was overwhelming. Everyone in attendance left with actions and strategies they could use immediately to advance their career and the overall success of our company." P.L. Barua, Human Resources Director, Numaligarh Refinery Limited, India "It was an honor to have you as our keynote speaker at the CWS National Meeting. The feedback from attendees keeps pouring in that you were hands-down one of the best speakers our Company has seen. Your ability to connect with everyone in the room in different generations was outstanding. Our attendees—ranging from executives to maintenance—left with a new appreciation for how to communicate with those outside their own 'gen'." Shellie L. McDaniel |
