David and Jonah understand the strength of the future. CEOs would be wise to pay attention to the opportunities presented by harnessing Gen Z’s power.

Richard Davis Executive chairman and former CEO of U.S. Bancorp

David and Jonah were great to work with for our Leadership Summit. During the planning process we connected several times to discuss what our goals were for the summit to make sure their presentation would be tailored to meet our needs. They had relevant and engaging pieces of information from all 4 of our manufacturing companies that they incorporated into their presentation.

Katie Frischmann Corporate Strategy Specialist, Frandsen Corporation

David and Jonah prepared a unique, made-just-for-our-conference presentation that helped the audience wrap their minds around Gen Z. They presented the material in a way that was engaging and had the crowd participating and caring about the content. They incorporated interactive polls and interesting anecdotes that brought the contents of their research and book to life for the professionals in the room. Their material is easy to understand and easy to apply in our day-to-day work.

Brian Gardner Assistant Dean/Director of Student Involvement

Through both primary and secondary research efforts, David (GenX) and his son Jonah (GenZ) bring an energetic and action-oriented approach to their sessions. They have an audience feel of equal parts present day anthropologists and data driven researchers. What’s best though, is that they pour passion into thinking through and explaining how different generations come together and work together with vastly different expectations.

Shawn Boom Vice President, North American Higher Education, Blackboard

They tailored their energetic dialogue about this up and coming generation especially for the financial services industry. The Stillmans’ message and learnings resonated among our attendees.
