Mark C. Perna
Join dynamic generational expert Mark C. Perna as he shares the secrets of today's youngest generations. More than 100 million strong, the "Why Generation" (Generations Z and Y) is innately curious and intelligent. They're poised to change the world - and they want to. Find out what makes the Why Generation so different from every previous generation, why their immense potential is so often underestimated, and how to answer their all-important question "why?"
Drawing on his wide experience and profound success as both a single dad and performance consultant for schools and business across North America, Mark will open your eyes to the power of the Why Generation. Mark's mission is to empower individuals, educators, employers, and parents to embrace the branch-creak moments of life and make a meaningful connection with the young people they influence. You'll discover what makes them tick, how they view life, what motivates their decisions, and why, for them, experience is everything.
With core strategies and principles from Mark's work with educational organizations and businesses, this presentation will help you unlock the incredible potential of young people everywhere and spur them to increased performance on all fronts, so they can make a bigger difference.
It's time to start engaging the Why Generation at a deeper level. Don't miss this opportunity to understand today's young people like never before and help them develop a dynamic competitive advantage!
