What Topics Does Ryan Jenkins Speak About?
Ryan Jenkins is a Wall Street Journal Bestselling leadership author and keynote speaker who speaks about one overarching challenge: how to build stronger, more connected teams in a rapidly changing workplace.
Ryan Jenkins is a keynote speaker specializing in generations, Gen Z, team connection, leadership, and the future of work. His presentations help leaders and teams strengthen connection, work more effectively across generations, and thrive in a rapidly changing workplace.
His expertise primarily falls into three areas: generations, team connection, and leadership. While each can stand on its own as a keynote or workshop topic, they often overlap because today’s leaders are trying to strengthen teams that span different generations, experiences, expectations, and ways of working.
Generations and Gen Z
Ryan has been researching and speaking about generations in the workplace for more than a decade and has written multiple books on the topic.
His presentations help audiences better understand generational differences without relying on stereotypes. He explores topics such as Gen Z in the workplace, leading a multigenerational workforce, communicating across generations, and helping different generations work better together.
These programs are especially relevant for organizations experiencing generational friction, changing workforce expectations, or challenges attracting, engaging, and retaining younger talent.
Team Connection
Ryan is also an expert on team connection and strengthening workplace relationships.
His Wall Street Journal bestselling book Connectable explored why connection and belonging have become increasingly important at work. His work helps organizations understand what causes teams to drift apart and, more importantly, what individuals and leaders can do to create stronger relationships, trust, collaboration, and belonging.
Ryan provides practical frameworks that help teams turn connection from something they hope happens into something they intentionally create.
Leadership
Leadership is the thread that connects much of Ryan's work.
How do leaders bring different generations together? How do they create an environment where people feel seen, supported, and connected? And how do they strengthen the human side of work as technology and AI continue to change how work gets done?
Ryan's leadership presentations give leaders practical strategies for leading across generations, strengthening team connection, improving collaboration, and creating teams people want to be part of.
Future of Work
Ryan also speaks about the future of work and the human side of an increasingly AI-enabled workplace.
Rather than focusing on how to use the latest AI tools, Ryan explores what technological change means for people, leaders, and teams. As AI changes how work gets done, organizations have an opportunity to rethink how people collaborate, connect, and contribute.
Ryan helps audiences understand how to embrace new technology while strengthening the distinctly human skills that become even more valuable in an AI-enabled world, including connection, collaboration, empathy, trust, and leadership.
Whether Ryan is speaking to a leadership team, an entire organization, or thousands of attendees at a conference, the goal is the same: help people better understand each other and equip them to build stronger teams.
