JOSH SPEAKS ON:

GENERATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE

Josh Tickell is America’s No. 1 strategist for connecting with Generation Y – Inc. Magazine. In 2008, Tickell’s movie FUEL won the Sundance Audience Award and was shown in the White House. As a result, he traveled to and spoke at 150 universities worldwide. This spurred Tickell’s interest in what has today become known as the “Millennial” generation. With half of the world’s population now under the age of 35 years, Tickell has spent much of the last decade interviewing and researching this “youth tsunami,” as he calls it. His research is cataloged in his new book, The Revolution Generation – How Millennials Can Save America and The World (ef, which will be released on October 2, 2018. He speaks on how to empower today’s youth to effectively lead in business and civic life. Tickell also reveals the secrets to engaging and capturing this generation as consumers and shows how to turn them into loyal customers.

The list of companies for whom Tickell has consulted on sustainability initiatives includes Audi, GM’s Electric Vehicle Division, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Walmart and many food and agricultural companies.
