THE ENCORE

Create an experience they want more of...

WORK IS AN EXPERIENCE

Since the dawn of the credit card, consumers have been trained to desire instant gratification and expect hyper-personalization. The thing is, those consumers are now a part of the workforce.

As they bring that conditioning into the workplace and consume the workforce experience, organizations have struggled to satisfy the diverse range of employee expectations and maintain a culture that keeps top talent cheering for an encore.

As a result, disengaged employees represent more than 75% of the workforce, and talented people seem to change jobs faster than ever before. This instability costs employers billions, slowing innovation and muting creativity.

NOW HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS

Author, researcher, and award-winning keynote speaker Gregory Offner has composed a compelling solution and path forward for organizations and their people.

Gregory is the only workforce experience strategist in the world able to bring two decades of corporate experience and twelve years as a piano bar entertainer into this conversation.

This unique perspective enables him to approach the problem through the lens of a creative performer, while composing a solution that addresses bigger-picture organizational objectives. The result is nothing short of transformational.

MEET GREGORY

Author, Workforce Strategist, Award-Winning Keynote Speaker

I believe that work is an opportunity to create impact for our families, our customers, our colleagues, our communities, and even our respective industries.

If Shakespeare got it right when he wrote, “all the world’s a stage,” then the crucial question we must answer is “Does my performance elevate the performance of those around me?” I’m so grateful to get to bring my passion for performance—along with decades of research—into the keynote experiences I create for my clients.

Using strategies from the framework I call the Tip Jar Culture™️, together, we can take the “irk” out of work.

AUDIENCE & CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

We had Gregory keynote for our Trustees conference, and he gave us a presentation like we’ve never had before. It was fun, but offered a functional message for our attendees. He clearly did his homework, and everyone has told me how much they enjoyed his session. I think you would too!

Earl Rogers

Executive Director

I can take the discussion about people and culture back to work next week and apply the lessons he taught. Gregory delivered a session that was engaging, interesting, and fun. I think the whole audience was into what he had to say, and they’re lessons we can apply every single day.

Don Avery

CEO

We’ve done lots of corporate events, and brought in lots of speakers. I love how everything Gregory does is tangible, and useful for businesses.

Jeff Stiles

VP of Sales

I’ve had several members approach me and say this is the best keynote they’ve ever seen. We couldn’t have been more impressed. I’m grateful for Gregory’s partnership, professionalism, and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a keynote speaker.

Bobby Cornwell

Executive Director

When the whole world turned virtual, I turned to Gregory. He was able to successfully uplift and close out our first ever virtual annual conference. What a relief to work with a true partner who would help cover the ever-ending list of details for this new platform. He and his team went above and beyond to help pull off an inspiring, virtual keynote program for our members.

Michelle Smith

Sr. Director of Meetings

Hosting Greg as a part of our digital Speaker Session Series and featuring him as a keynote speaker at our Thought Leaders Summit in 2022 were two of the best content decisions we have made to date. If you’re thinking about how your company or organization can start the conversation about transitioning your workplace culture, Greg is an easy YES!

Nancy Snowden

Lead Manager, Educational Experiences

Flexible. Kind. Super smart. Oh and he sings. And engages a crowd, drawing them into his message. Creating actionable takeaways. If you are not working with Greg, or better, having Greg working to bring your event more meaning, now is a good time to think about it.

Tahira Endean

Head of Events

It was so obvious he researched, he prepared, he cared, and he exceeded all of our expectations. I’m so glad this committee made this very, very wise choice.

Holly Munter-Koenig

Greg’s keynote was amazing. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat!

Thank you for kicking off our Summit this morning! I’m getting great feedback from everyone. You nailed it! Speaking for all of our attendees, we had a great time. The message and music were both great.

Gregory was truly the complete package: inspirational, informative and entertaining with exceptional story-telling!

Debbie Deissroth

Over the years I have heard many speakers, some better than others. Gregory’s one of the best! I noticed that no one left early or was looking at their phones.

David Hess

President, Audere Ventures

I had high expectations for his program, and Gregory exceed them. This was something very unique for us, very refreshing and entertaining, and the timing of the message was fantastic!
