Scott Zimmer has over 20 years of experience delivering keynote speeches to audiences around the world. During his career, Scott worked for one of the most reputable generational consulting firms in the country, where he had the opportunity to travel to global Fortune 500 companies to help organizations bridge the generational gaps that can occur in the workplace. Today, he continues to help organizations create a workplace culture where every generation feels valued, respected, and understood.
Scott works hard to learn every client’s desired outcome and customizes each presentation to curate an experience focused on achieving your specific organizational goals. His presentations are informative, engaging, and fun – giving audiences both an experience they’ll remember and actionable takeaways they can use to strengthen workplace relationships and culture.
You might not know it by looking at him, but Scott grew up a fourth-generation dairy farm in central Minnesota. That meant long days of milking and feeding cows, as well as bailing hay and harvesting crops. But it wasn’t all blood, sweat, and tears. Eighteen years on a farm taught him a lot about hard work, dedication, and instilled a sense of community and coming together that he still values to this day.
Scott received his degree in Communications from St. John’s University in 2000. During his time there, he wrote for the school newspaper, received an amazing internship that ignited his love of public speaking, and in his downtime, refined his skills at Mario Kart.
Today, Scott lives in the suburbs of Minneapolis with his family. When he’s not traveling or presenting, he loves spending time at home with his family and spoiling his dog, Mac. He’s also a die-hard pizza lover and tries to hit up a new restaurant in every city he visits. And he still makes it back to the farm whenever he can to relive his glory days!
With up to five generations working together in today’s organizations, it’s more important than ever for companies to understand the generational differences that set them apart. Connecting Across Generations is a compelling and fun presentation that provides audiences with a deeper understanding of the different generations they work with everyday.
This session will:
Explain who the generations are and explore where their differences come from.
Uncover surprising insights into each generation and learn why every generation is important to your organization’s bottom line.
Explore the standout traits, values, and strengths each generation brings to the table.
Address the challenges and misconceptions that can exist between the generations.
Provide guidance and insights for navigating communication, engagement, and team synergy to help different generations work together better.
Offer actionable strategies that every generation can start implementing the very same day.
