Ryan Jenkins

I am a Millennial keynote speaker and author. I equip organizations and leaders with the next generation leadership, branding, and communication skills needed to thrive in today’s multi-generational marketplace. My mission is to help leaders become tomorrow’s leaders today. As a result, I speak and write on the fundamental shifts the Millennials (Generation Y) are causing in the areas of leadership, communication, technology, work culture, and branding. Other topics covered are productivity, change, and social media. I also have a podcast called, “Next Generation Catalyst Podcast” where I cover similar topics by interviewing some of today’s top thought leaders. 5 years ago I began researching, collaborating with industry experts, and interviewing 100s of Millennials to better understand their behavior, strengths, employer expectations, and career desires. This lead me to write the book, “The GenEdge: Leveraging Millennials With A Next Generation Mindset,” which empowers leaders to think different about the emerging generation in order to capitalize on their size and unique skills. Now I share my insights from the stage where I have spoken alongside fellow thought leaders from iconic brands like MTV, Facebook, and Uber for the last 7+ years. I also share my insights as a contributor for Business 2 Community, Firmology, and Socialnomics, on my blog and podcast. When I’m not speaking and writing, I am frequently misspelling words in text messages, attempting to become an average golfer, and religiously cheering on the Denver Broncos with my wife, Ashley, and yellow labrador, Bauer, from our home in Atlanta, GA.
