I spoke with Samsung Executive Leadership about engaging #GenerationZ students

This week I spoke with Samsung Executive Leadership about engaging #GenerationZ students/consumers.

A few items to consider:

1) Gen Z Students Demand Diversity - A startling 47% of US Gen Zers are non-white, and according to recent surveys, 80% of Gen Zers have a close friend of a different ethnicity. This makes them demand new levels of #diversity in workspaces.

2) Gen Zers understand how to leverage #technology - Incidents like the Parkland Shooting and Pepsi's changing of their formula demontrate Gen Zers understanding of the true power existing at their fingertips to affect change via digital platforms.

3) Gen Zers appreciate face-to-face - Although Gen Zers are the first '#Digital Natives', they long for human connections and irl (in real life) experiences!

Of course, there are always exceptions to these norms, but definitely food for thought! More info on my #TEDx Talk "How to Speak Gen Z" https://lnkd.in/gavFf4m

Any other thoughts on Gen Zers? Please share!

Thanks to Innate Motion for this opportunity!
