Friends and Family – I am incredibly excited to share the biggest news of my speaking career!!!!!!! I was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame!!!!!!
After 20+ years as a professional speaker, this means so much to me! I remember going to my first National Speakers Association Hall of Fame gala over 20(!) years ago. I was in awe of the amazing speakers on the big stage. Back then, I never imagined I’d deliver over 3,000 keynote presentations around the world, speak in all 50 US states by age 30, win American Airlines Road Warrior of the year (LOL), and earn a place in the Speaker Hall of Fame. I would not have penciled that path, nor would I have changed any of the challenges, breakthroughs, and adventures.
And what an adventure it has been! From sleeping on a floor at age 18 surrounded by 5,000 self-printed books to launching a global research firm and then receiving our industry’s highest honor while my daughter Rya and my wife Denise cheered!!!!!
Each of YOU has helped me on this journey. I am grateful. What an adventure it has been. I am thankful to be on it with YOU!! I hope to speak at an event for you in the future!

With gratitude,

The COVID pandemic is the generation-defining event for Gen Z. The effects of the pandemic will shape the rest of Gen Z’s lives. Recently, I spoke with AXIOS to share The Center for Generational Kinetics’ latest research on the challenges many in Gen Z are experiencing as they move further through the pandemic (and, hopefully, enter the post-pandemic period!).
The COVID-19 pandemic is Gen Z’s generational marker. The social and emotional damage this pandemic has had—and will continue to have—on Gen Z cannot be overstated. Candidly, we need to talk about this much more so that it becomes a safe and constructive conversation as we all work to help this generation, their families, and their communities.
I was thrilled to keynote an in-person leadership event in Oregon and sign 300 copies of Zconomy! The questions from attendees were fantastic and we had four generations in attendance. One area I really focused on during my half-day presentation: generational empathy.
Today’s recruiting and retention challenge is affecting employers of all sizes and all industries. I believe that hidden within this challenge is a huge opportunity for leaders and companies to demonstrate their culture, mission, and why they provide a great place to work and build a career. I shared how to do this in my talk…
I was thrilled to deliver my first-ever keynote in athletic wear, including a bold red t-shirt! The best part: I got to share my favorite research discoveries at the intersection of fitness, marketing, employment, and Gen Z retail trends.
