Gregory Offner

Have you ever been to a concert that was so good that in the end, the audience was roaring with applause and demanded the artist return to the stage to play more? THAT is an Encore Experience. What if we have that at our workplace?

In the era of rapid change, shrinking resources, and disconnect, teams are not ending each day with the Encore feeling. Gregory Offner, a professional dueling piano player, has learned from his years as, whether on stage or in business, THE PEOPLE (aka OUR TEAMS) are the center of the action. Only when we care about creating an encore experience can we build a culture that has them excited about coming back every day.

Gregor Offner (a mix of Billy Joel and Simon Sinek) sets a new standard for how content is delivered on stage. His keynote is a lively, one-of-a-kind session, replicating the extremely fun, interactive format of a dueling piano stage. Throughout, he provides serious takeaways to help people reimagine their amazing potential and impact in the workplace.

‘The Encore Experience’ is memorable and the “something different” that hits the high notes with hand clapping, toe tapping familiar songs. On top of that, the audience becomes part of the show. He gets the attendees to own the spotlight both in the session and in their workplace. Gregory takes song requests from the audience and weaves their musical ideas into his messaging regarding the state of passion and performance in the workplace.

The magic of Gregory’s engaging session is that the keynote atmosphere that he creates is exactly how it should feel in the workplace. ‘The Encore Experience’ will help attendees:

• Reframe obstacles into opportunities and make adversity their ally
• Sustain passion and engagement at work
• Make collaboration and innovation flourish

Gregory entertains, shares stories that tug at your heartstrings, and provides data that connects music as a metaphor to make ‘The Encore Experience’ in business and life.

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.

How Great Organizations Simplify Change, to Amplify Results

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 behavioral economics, Greg helps the audience explore their own approaches to change, and explains why most attempts to make sustaining changes fall flat.
