FOR LEADERS, OWNERS, AND ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING TO IMPROVE WORKFORCE RETENTION & INCREASE ENGAGEMENT

Today’s leaders face a critical workforce challenge, with employees demanding more for less—more pay, flexibility, and control, with less time spent working. This coincides with historically low engagement and loyalty, affecting not just productivity and profits, but also workplace culture and morale.

Globally, businesses spend 20 billion dollars each year trying to improve employee engagement and retention. Still, less than 30 percent of the workforce is actively engaged and working toward the organizations success. What most leaders see as problems with workforce culture, or the workers themselves, are just symptoms of the real problem: the employment experience.

In this unforgettable keynote former dueling pianist turned award winning speaker Gregory Offner reveals three principles of engaging experiences—used in piano bars—and demonstrates the steps to adapt them for your workforce.

Using these three principles (Take a Sip, Fill Out a Slip, and Leave a Tip) organizations can generate more engagement, deeper commitment, and better performance from their existing workforce. Attendees will leave inspired, entertained, and equipped to put these principles into action, and create a Tip Jar Culture™️ of their own.

Takeaways:

  • A framework to create a sustainable engagement strategy that appeals to broad and diverse employee groups.
  • Three tools to implement simple, but effective, shifts in the experience of work that eliminate the three major frustrations causing employees to leave.
  • Insight into the question that most leaders don’t ask, but all employees wish they would.

AMPLIFY SUCCESS BY SIMPLIFYING THE SCIENCE OF CHANGE

You may know that 70% of corporate change initiatives fail, but do you know why?

To create sound we only need two elements: a source of agitation and a source of vibration. To create an organizational culture that thrives in and embraces disruption we also need two elements. In this captivating keynote, Greg uses examples from the world of business and music to reveal the key to creating successful disruptions.

Using principles of psychology and behavioural economics, Greg helps the audience explore their own approaches to change, and explains why most attempts to make sustaining changes fall flat.

Takeaways:

  • Discover how to ignite the change resilience that lies within, and simplify dealing with disruption.
  • Learn the two critical ingredients needed to create and sustain disruption.
  • Articulate the definition of disruption, and how it applies to organizational and individual change.

Gregory Offner is a multi-talented individual, with a passion for entertaining and educating others.

His keynotes, workshops, and corporate consulting engagements help the worlds leading organizations create high performing, highly fulfilled leaders.  Prior to this work, Greg led global sales and marketing efforts for several Fortune 100 organizations; brokered complex Risk Management and Insurance programs for large commercial organizations; and drove process improvement initiatives as a certified Lean Six Sigma practitioner. But during that time, Greg lived a double life.

By day, he was a suit and tie wearing professional; but under the cover of night Greg was better known as “Junior” – a world renowned professional dueling pianist.   As an entertainer, Greg has performed on stages of every size; for audiences of every size; on 5 continents.

His ability to integrate that fun and energy into his programming (yes, he often uses a piano on stage) transforms his program from a keynote speech into a keynote experience.  Greg’s work as a keynote speaker, coach, and workshop facilitator fills a void that most organizations leave in their training programming: soft skill development.

Greg has always been passionate about soft skills, analyzing the onboarding, training, and development programs of 43 companies before the age of 30.  He was fascinated by the performance differences between organizations which prioritized soft skill training and those who focused primarily on hard, job-specific skill development.

Most recently, Greg has spent over 2 months in total silence as a result of multiple surgeries needed to repair and rebuild his vocal cords…an experience that nearly left him mute; and which ignited the critical spark needed to transform his work from a “personal curiosity” to a “professional mission” – to help individuals and organizations identify the one change that can change everything.

Through a mix of speaking, audience participation, and a little dueling piano bar magic sprinkled in, Greg reveals the insights and tools you need to accelerate your growth, amplify creativity, and deliver a performance that leaves your audience (clients, stakeholders, or employees) cheering for an encore.

Gregory Offner’s expertise lies in his deep understanding of leadership development, employee engagement, and corporate transformation. With a decade of experience leading global sales and marketing efforts for some of the world’s largest corporations, Greg has firsthand knowledge of what it takes to build and sustain high-performing teams. He has successfully led risk management initiatives, insurance program development, and Lean Six Sigma projects, all of which required a strategic focus on leadership and process improvement.

His ability to understand complex business challenges is rooted in years of experience as a certified Lean Six Sigma practitioner, a role in which he optimized organizational processes and increased operational efficiency. This experience gives Greg a unique perspective on leadership and team dynamics, allowing him to create powerful strategies that resonate with corporate audiences.

Greg Offner’s qualifications in leadership development and corporate transformation stem from his varied and accomplished career.

Additionally, his role as a certified Lean Six Sigma practitioner further establishes his credibility. Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that focuses on reducing inefficiencies and improving performance—skills that are directly applicable to leadership and team development. Greg’s experience in implementing these methodologies across large organizations has helped him become an expert in identifying and overcoming obstacles that prevent teams from achieving their full potential.

Coupled with his performance background, Gregory’s unique combination of corporate and entertainment experience makes him a powerful keynote speaker.

By incorporating elements of music, performance, and interactive engagement, Greg delivers messages that resonate deeply with audiences, making his insights memorable and actionable. His unique ability to entertain while educating sets him apart from other motivational speakers and makes him a top choice for organizations seeking to inspire their teams.
