Full Bio
David Stillman is not new to the generational conversation. For almost twenty years he has been called on by business executives, politicians and the media to share his expertise on how best to bridge generational gaps. David has appeared on CNN, CNBC, and the TODAY Show as well as NPR and in Fast Company, The New York Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal.
In addition to being an internationally acclaimed speaker on the generations, David is also the co-author of two best-selling books including When Generations Collide and The M-Factor: How the Millennial Generation Is Rocking the Workplace.
David is excited for his newest book called Gen Z @ Work being published by HarperCollins. It describes the 7 key traits of Gen Z and was just named by the NY Post as one of the 5 books to read in 2017. Best of all, he has coauthored this book with his 17-year-old Gen Z son, Jonah.
Jonah Stillman is a senior in high school and already has quite a few accomplishments. He is a nationally ranked US alpine snowboarder. In addition, he is a youth ambassador for the international non-profit WE and has traveled to both Kenya and Ecuador to build schools. Jonah and a team of peers conducted one of the first national surveys about Gen Z’s workplace attitudes. The eye-opening results ignited Jonah’s interest in keeping the dialogue going. After growing up watching his dad – David – be the voice of his generation, Jonah is excited to be the voice of his generation. He is the youngest speaker on the circuit and has already shared his insights on Gen Z with MSNBC and CBS and Jonah was recently featured in Fast Company.
In addition to writing their book, David and Jonah have been speaking about across the country to a variety of companies and industries about how best to recruit, retain, and manage Gen Z as well as how best to market to Gen Z.
