Alex Atherton is an experienced educator, leadership coach and leadership team coach.
His professional background was in education. He spent 25 years working in inner-city comprehensive secondary schools, of which over 20 was as a senior leader and over half as a headteacher in London.
Alex is a generations speaker and an authority on Gen Z. He is the former secondary school headteacher who heard the word ‘snowflake’ once too often to describe his former students and decided his own generation needed to hear a different message. Alex Atherton spent over a decade immersed in the mindset of this misunderstood generation, getting to the core of what makes them tick.
He talks to decision makers in organisations about understanding, engaging, recruiting and retaining Gen Z. He also talks about the challenges of the intergenerational workplace, helping organisations turn a multigenerational workforce into an asset to drive productivity rather than a hindrance which impacts on the bottom line.
Alex Atherton equips leaders and managers with proven strategies to overcome generational divides and effectively recruit, develop, and retain top young talent.
