Following the incredible response to my TEDx talk on “The Great Workplace Rewrite” and my signature keynote on Gen Z engagement, I’m thrilled to announce my latest keynote: “The Great Knowledge Acceleration: Bridging Generations in the AI Era.”

Why This? Why Now?
Remember when I talked about the seismic shifts happening in our workplaces during my TEDx talk? Well, we’re facing an even bigger challenge – and opportunity.
For the first time in history, we’re seeing:
- Digital natives (Gen Z and Millennials) representing nearly two-thirds of the workforce
- Workers staying professionally active well into their 70s, 80s, and even 90s
- The fastest-growing age group in the workforce? Workers 75 and older, having quadrupled since 1964!
The $47 Million Problem
Here’s a shocking figure that keeps executives up at night: Large U.S. businesses are losing $47 million in productivity annually due to inefficient knowledge-sharing. But let’s make this more relatable:
- Knowledge workers spend 1.8 hours daily searching for internal information
- Employees waste 5.3 hours weekly waiting for vital information from coworkers
- For a 1,000-employee organization, knowledge loss from turnover costs approximately $750,000 annually
The AI Generation Gap
Here’s where it gets interesting: 49% of Gen Z and 50% of Millennials trust AI to be objective and accurate, compared to only 18% of Boomers. This isn’t just a statistic – it’s a glimpse into how different generations approach problem-solving and knowledge sharing.
The Solution: Beyond Traditional Knowledge Transfer
Drawing from my TEDx insights about the “Career Jungle Gym” and “Influencer Leadership,” this new keynote introduces revolutionary approaches to knowledge sharing:
- Co-Mentoring Revolution: Forget one-way mentoring. Learn how skills-based pairing and project-based mentoring are transforming organizational learning.
- Skills Marketplace: Discover how leading organizations are creating internal knowledge economies that benefit all generations
- AI Accelerators:Â Transform AI from a generational divide into a bridge that enhances human knowledge transfer.
What You’ll Learn
This isn’t just about traditional knowledge management – it’s about creating a dynamic ecosystem that propels organizational success in an era of unprecedented technological change. You’ll discover:
- How to implement ready-to-use strategies for cross-generational knowledge sharing
- Ways to thoughtfully integrate AI tools to enhance (not replace) human knowledge transfer
- Techniques for building psychological safety and trust across generational divides
Ready to Accelerate?
The future of work isn’t just about managing different generations – it’s about creating synergies between human wisdom and artificial intelligence. Let’s bridge these gaps together.
