Gen Z leadership expert Dale Wetmore says business leaders often find it challenging to manage young people. According to the research, young workers show up unmotivated and entitled – if they show up at all. Yet Dale believes the next generation entering the workforce carries more promise than peril. As president of the firm Gift of the Next Generation, Dale works with businesses to help them connect with, inspire, and lead their young employees to success. Dale's insights are derived from hundreds of studies and articles about motivating young people, as well as 20+ years of leadership experience he gained at both small technology startups and tech supergiants like Microsoft and Amazon Web Services. Dale is the author of the upcoming book Leading Gen Z: the Gift of the Next Generation. He's an avid skier and hiker and he lives with his family in Denver, Colorado. Website:  www.giftofnextgen.com

For 25 years Brandon Allen has worked with leaders to help them organize their work life and transform their relationships by helping them see what they can’t see and do what they didn’t think possible. He is the founder of New Work Revolution and works with leaders of all kinds to create a path for simple, effective leadership. When not coaching or training, Brandon, along with my wife and 4 daughters, live in Salt Lake City, Utah. When asked to describe himself, he will tell you that he is “funny, charming, interesting, and handsome,” all of which claims are highly questionable other than the first. Brandon enjoys running, sports, music, hanging out with family, and reading when he is not busy helping others capitalize on their potential.
