SHORT BIO:

Hannah MacDonald-Dannecker is on a mission to bridge the gap between previous working generations and Gen Z to create an open environment where we can work Better Together. Hannah is a sought-after public speaker who is hired by HR Managers, Business Owners and Operations Teams to help them learn how to connect with Gen Z workers without pulling their hair out!

Ever wondered how Gen Z and older generations can truly collaborate in the workplace? We tackle this head-on, shedding light on the importance of mutual respect and the willingness to learn from each other.
