Keynote speaker, United States

Gen Z, youth leadership and education.

I have delivered keynotes in North America and I am listed with US bureaus, but the best way to book me is directly. The US youth leadership circuit is enormous, and I bring something it does not have much of: a Gen Z founder from outside the US who built a national organisation while still at school.

Keynotes for United States audiences

  • Gen Z at Work: What the generation entering your workforce actually values, why they leave at month 14, and what to change about culture, feedback and leadership to keep them. From a speaker who is Gen Z.
  • Lead Before You're Ready: The story of building an organisation that reached thousands of young people before the Year 12 results came back blank, and what that says about talent, age and who we back before they have the credentials.
  • Change Happens Together: The decisions that stick are the ones made with the people they affect, not for them. A practical approach to intergenerational collaboration drawn from consulting work with government departments, councils and education systems.

Organisers say

Wil delivered an energised and engaging presentation at Positive Schools. He joined us as a keynote speaker at both our online event and in person in Western Australia. His awareness and careful consideration of students' perspectives offers insight and value to the increasingly complex conversation about wellbeing in schools.
