Mark Zides uses real life examples, research, and sometimes some tough love to arm workers with the necessary skills to not just survive the modern workforce but to thrive.

"I could very much relate to what you were saying about being a Gen Z in the workforce, especially in sales. It is all about standing out and outworking the rest!"

"In pre-event dinner, it was such a pleasure meeting a couple of amazing speakers. Mark Zides who shared his thoughts on "the difference between GenZ and Everyone Else." As a GenZ, I had a lot of self reflection after. As a recruiter, I was impressed by Mark's sharp and supportive view on new grads' talents of what "we" have to bring to the table and even change the table."

"Gen Z! As a proud member of Gen Z and a co-chair at TEDxBabsonCollege, I had the spectacular opportunity to meet Mark and work together to bring to life his idea worth spreading. His engaging and contemporary talk “The Difference between Gen Z and Everyone Else” posed challenging questions, exposed truths, and motivated the audience and me to move Ad Meliora (Toward Better Things). Mark inspired me to never stop seeking development, to improve my skills and to learn to step back and analyze how to be a better version of myself. But most importantly Mark’s talk encouraged all of us from Gen Z that what we bring to the table is valuable and much needed at work and in society!"

"Upon the ending of my internship and beginning of my job search, I pulled out The #PACE and I'm blown away by the advice. Forget job applications, just updating my resume and LinkedIn can be pretty overwhelming but the book breaks everything down into incredibly digestible advice and simple, actionable steps to strengthen on-paper appearances. Zides's advice is relevant and game-changing. I'd say the guidance is priceless but it would be more accurate to say The #PACE has a huge ROI in the form of presenting one's professional self in such a way that will lead to more career opportunities and successes."
