About the Presenters

Seth Mattison

Seth Mattison is a young writer and speaker on the topic of generations and workforce trends. His presentations focus on the generational divide between younger and older generations and how bridging the gaps can infuse new ideas and energy into organizations everywhere. Seth works with executives across the country to help them understand how they can best maximize their young talent, as well as maintain connections with their experienced workforce, to drive innovation and sustainability.

Seth works with a company called BridgeWorks, which is dedicated to researching, writing, and speaking on the topic of generational difference. A few years ago, the BridgeWorks team launched the timely best-seller When Generations Collide. And they just released a brand new book, titled The M-Factor: How the Millennial Generation Is Rocking the Workplace, which highlights the seven trends that shaped the Millennials and that will reshape the workplace.

This past year, Seth worked with the Institute for Corporate Productivity to conduct a national survey that reveals Millennials’ workplace attitudes and behaviors, and compares them to those of Traditionalists, Baby Boomers and Generation Xers. In addition he helped to conduct one-on-one interviews with Millennials to understand the stories behind the statistics.

Seth is a generational junkie, a texter, a tweeter, a blogger, a speaker, a Millennial, and a deep thinker about generational issues. Seth currently resides in Minneapolis, MN where he spends his free time enjoying the outdoors, traveling, and volunteering with the local Big Brothers Program. Reach him at: mattison@generations.com.
