David Bio

BridgeWorks’ speakers enjoy working together and learning from one another. They are writers and communicators who know how to engage and inspire. They are experts on the four generations at work today, and they are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and ideas with others in hopes that it will improve morale, productivity and the bottom line in workplaces everywhere. Their keynote speeches and workshops are relevant and thought-provoking—filled with rich content and sprinkled with large doses of humor. Whether they present jointly or individually, they will expose the sometimes frustrating, often challenging and occasionally hilarious pitfalls of working (and living) with the other generations.

Lynne and David have backgrounds in consulting, marketing and management. The solutions they offer for bridging workplace generation gaps are based on more than a decade of research and hands-on experience. Their first book When Generations Collide catapulted them into the spotlight and led to hundreds of speaking engagements.

Always ready to expand their capabilities to meet clients’ needs, Lynne and David decided to add a Millennial speaker to BridgeWorks. Enter Seth.

Seth Mattison

Seth Bio

Seth is relatively new to the speaking circuit. An optimistic go-getter who wants to make a difference for workers and employers alike, his messages are already helping managers maximize the capabilities of their young talent and bring about genuine connections with their experienced workforce. He has a unique ability to help all four generations recognize not only their differences, but their commonalities and to laugh at their own misconceptions.



Joe Marlotti

Joe Bio

Lynne and David recently welcomed Joe Marlotti to the BridgeWorks Team. An experienced professional comedian, Joe has been entertaining audiences for nearly twenty years as a corporate emcee and headliner in some of the country's top clubs. As the star of BridgeWorks’ TimesFour, Joe engages audiences through four generations of characters so familiar they could be your boss, your co-worker or live in your house. And he convincingly delivers the show’s message: No single generation has all the answers—no group is right or wrong—we’re just different.



Popular Program Formats:

  • Keynote Speech (1 to 1 ½ hours) —entertaining, fast-paced, multimedia-based and information-packed presentations.
  • Workshops and Seminars (2 to 4 hours) —engaging, practical, and interactive expansions of keynotes with opportunities for discussions and activities tailored to business issues.
  • Stage Show (1 hour) —TimesFour, our corporate entertainment offering (with a message) stars comedian Joe Marlotti. The show stands alone or is a fun, enlightening complement to a BridgeWorks’ keynote or workshop. Originally created as a dinner show, TimesFour also is appropriate at any time to add levity to a meeting agenda
  • Client Appreciation Event (keynote, workshop or TimesFour)—great for companies wishing to give clients an unforgettable experience in return for their loyalty.

BridgeWorks’ presentations use case studies, statistics, and real-time examples to support rich content, as well as a vibrant selection of multimedia images—PowerPoint slides, clips from movies, and TV commercials. We tailor each program to a client’s industry and business objectives by gathering information from a pre-program questionnaire and through interviewing selected leaders/employees to learn as much as possible about their work environment, demographics, and generational issues. Finally, we review websites, ad campaigns, recruiting brochures, and other pertinent materials and pull generational examples to enhance learning. If appropriate, we also look at similar organizations as a way of benchmarking.
