Scott’s keynotes clearly illustrate the stress points between different generations and provide clear solutions to help relieve tension and encourage better understanding and collaboration across generational divides. As a child of the 80s and 90s, Scott has insider knowledge into what makes his generation tick. Sandwiched between the idealistic Boomers and innovative Millennials, his Xer lens allows him to hone in on the key challenges facing each generation.

See keynotes with Scott ZimmerGenerational knowledge is useful and beneficial in any industry – especially the finance industry. How can you reach the different generations to ensure that you don’t lose valuable customers when wealth changes hands?
Generation Z is getting a lot of media attention – and there is a reason why! Most interns and recent college graduates belong to Gen Z, and even though they’re criticized for being on their phones too much they are also valuable digital-native employees.
It is no secret that there are many career opportunities in trades and manufacturing, however, the new generations are unfortunately unaware of this. It has been estimated that the average manufactoring company will lose $4.6 million annually because of this.
Millennials and Gen Z are already part of the workforce and Baby Boomers are leaving. However, 47% business owners don’t have a transition plan, and this could mean that valuable knowledge will be lost.
