Some praise from past audiences:

I was impressed by your depth of knowledge of the several generations of people in our work force and those we serve. It is particularly beneficial to take our differences into account as the transition from Matures and Baby-Boomer leadership to Gen-X and Gen-Y leadership accelerates. I consider your presentation to be one of the best programs we have had as a Conference.
- Bill Nicholls, Past President, N. Carolina Conference of Court Administrators

Thank you so much for coming to our offices and sharing your intimate knowledge of cross-generation communications. I find the subject highly relevant personally and professionally in my day to day interactions. Many of my peers approached me after our meeting ended. They told me they appreciated and learned a lot from your presentation, as did I. 
- Andrew T. Crofton, BNY Mellon Wealth Management

Thanks Phyllis- you are an amazing guest and I am looking forward to fully diving into “You Can't Google it". Your life experience was amazing for the audience.

A big thank you to our speaker Phyllis Haserot for her terrific discussion about "The six things to know about each generation that will change how you interact, persuade, recruit and sell."  Phyllis, your delivery was so animated and your presentation made the topic very interesting.  We all learned so much that will be valuable everyday.

On behalf of The Radical Age Movement, I would like to thank you for speaking at our ‘Ageism in the Workplace’ seminar. The information you provided offered helpful guidance to those in our audience experiencing the negative impact of ageism.  The ensuing audience discussion brought these stories to the forefront.  This is the way we can uncover this most overlooked ‘ism’ and affect change.
- Alice Fisher, Founder, The Radical Age Movement

Your session with staff in the Office of Alumni Affairs and Development was well received and has provided us with new concepts for current and future discussions. There were so many takeaways. I don’t believe any of us were aware of the importance of being able to communicate across generations and the impact that it can have (positive and/or negative) in the workplace - in our work with both colleagues and alumni. Please know that you opened our eyes and minds and that we are committed to finding a healthy balance re: inter-generational communications and relationships on behalf of Cornell.
- Margaret Gallo, Senior Director, Alumni Affairs, Cornell University

You did a fantastic job of getting all of us to interact. Wish we had more time. You are an inspiration.

- Jacqueline McLoughlin, former Director of Executives on Campus, Baruch College (CUNY)

I wanted to be sure to let you know that some new PCCW members were loudly singing your praises as I waited with them at the airport last Sunday. They were very impressed by your expertise as a panel moderator - in particular, they marveled at how "on it" you were throughout the entire panel discussion.
I was impressed (but not surprised!) as well.
- Tara Murphy, President’s Council of Cornell Women

Phyllis, that was a great session today. Thanks for working so hard to compress a very rich topic down to its core essentials. I only regret that we didn’t have more time to continue the conversation.
