Aaron was very collaborative in preparing his keynote for our agency conference. He stayed in touch in the months leading up to his session and interviewed a few key stakeholders in advance to customize his remarks. He was very professional and personable, and his presentation was engaging and informative. If you’re looking for someone who knows the Millennial generation well and brings a lot of enthusiasm to a presentation, Aaron is a strong choice.

Aaron is energetic and engaging.  He quickly had the audience focused on his well thought out presentation.  Our group gained tremendous insight on the differences between the baby boomers in the audience and millennials, like Aaron.  He helped us understand how to meet the needs of his generation to successfully motivate and challenge them in the workplace.  I strongly endorse Aaron as a speaker

Tom Morrow, Executive Director

Aaron did his homework and customized his presentation to be relevant to the banking industry and to my company specifically.  His understanding of and discussion around the Millennial generation is critical knowledge for every company and manager in today’s workplace.  Aaron’s presentation style is relaxed and confident, which allowed him to really engage with the audience individually and as a group.  Aaron was a true pleasure to work with, start to finish.
