Meagan Johnson is the co-author of the bestselling book Generations Inc., From Boomers To Linksters Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work. She is the de-facto expert when it comes to navigating the maze of generational quandaries’ every organization faces.
Quoted by the Chicago Tribune, CNNMoney.com and US News & World Report, she has been heard on ABC Talk Live, NPR and profiled on Conde’ Nast’s Portfolio.com. Meagan has become the ‘Go To’ expert for all things generational.
As a Gen Xer (people born between 1965 and 1980) Meagan takes on generational issues with an insider’s perspective. During the 1990s, while working for companies like Quaker Oats, Kraft Foods and Xerox Meagan often heard negative comments about Gen Xers. Terms like “slacker generation,” “gold collar workers,” and the “Beavis and Butthead generation” were not uncommon.
Meagan knew those terms were unfair and untrue, so she began researching small and large businesses to debunk generational myths and uncover the most effective way to solve multi-generational clashes. That research gave birth to her most popular presentation, ZAP THE GAP How To Make Peace and Profit in a Multi-Generational World.
Known as the Generational Humorist, Meagan has entertained and educated thousands of audience members from all around the globe. Amongst her many satisfied clients are companies such as Dairy Queen, Burger King, Cadillac, American Express, Harley-Davidson, Monster.com, and the CIA (although the work she did @ the CIA is classified!)
Following her presentation, at the Harley Davidson Annual Dealer’s Conference, Meagan heard comments like "you changed the way I treat and train my younger employees”, “I have never had so much fun learning such valuable lessons,” and “Meagan Rocks.”
A third-generation native of Phoenix AZ, Meagan lives with her tall husband and three dogs that have a total of 15 legs (not including the husband) … you do the math!
