Interview with Felix Behm, Keynote speaker on Generation Z:
1. What are the core subjects of your keynote speeches?
Focus on Generation Z – How do I, as a manager or company, win over the digital natives born from 1995 onwards and retain them in the long term?

4. What will be in the future? Does «time» play an important role in your work?
The times are bringing drastic changes. Not only are digitization and AI an issue worldwide, but in Germany there will also be an enormous shortage of skilled workers in the coming years. Those companies that deal with this today and take the wishes and demands of the young Generation Z seriously will have significantly fewer problems than those that merely smile at them. Because the most important asset of companies is and remains: The employee.
5. Tell us your life motto? What do you want to give your listeners to take with them?
“Trust in advance is better than mistrust in advance.” – Get into communication with each other, be open for new things. This is the only way to master future challenges.
