Engaging Gen Z with Dr. Josh Packard

According to Dr. Josh Packard, “Gen Z is the most unique generation that has ever existed, and earning their trust requires that you do things more differently than ever.” Anyone with personal experience with members of this generation (including parents of Gen Z kids) are likely to agree. Josh has spent the better part of two decades devoting his time, effort, and research into better understanding how this new generation is making meaning in their lives. He is the former executive director of the Springtide Research Institute, and is now an independent consultant helping faith-based and mission-driven organizations engage and connect with Gen Z to create belonging, build loyalty and discover purpose and meaning.  Josh brings a wealth of knowledge, corroborated by years of research, to this conversation. He will ask you to consider new ways of thinking of, being with, and accepting Gen Z. And these new questions and approaches might just be the key to connecting with someone of that age in your life.  springtideresearch.org Connect with Dr. Josh Packard: www.joshpackard.com Twitter LinkedIn Follow Parenting for the Present on Instagram Like us on Facebook
