Gregory Offner Biography

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

His keynotes, workshops, and corporate consulting engagements help the world's leading organizations create high-performing, highly fulfilled leaders. Prior to this work, Offner 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, Offner lived a double life.

By day, he was a suit and tie-wearing professional, but under the cover of night, Offner was better known as “Junior” – a world-renowned professional dueling pianist. As an entertainer, Offner 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. Offner’s work as a keynote speaker, coach, and workshop facilitator fills a void that most organizations leave in their training programming: soft skill development. Offner 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 that prioritized soft skill training and those that focused primarily on hard, job-specific skill development.

Most recently, Offner 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, Offner 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 Speaking Topics

  • The Encore Experience: Change the Perception of Work

    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.

  • The Tip Jar Culture

    These days it seems like employee entitlement is at an all-time high, while engagement is at an all-time low. But what most leaders see as problems with workforce culture are actually just symptoms of the real problem.

    In this unforgettable keynote former dueling pianist and award winning speaker Gregory Offner will demonstrate three principles of engagement—found in a piano bar—then discuss the strategies and stories of organizations who’ve applied these principles to business with phenomenal results.

    Attendees will leave inspired, entertained, and equipped to put these principles into action, and create a Tip Jar CultureTM️ 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.

  • Dueling With Disruption: 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.

    PROGRAM RESULTS INCLUDE:

    • Increased resilience and embracing change as a positive
    • Simplify the process of creating and sustaining disruptions
    • Learn two psychological tools that make change less painful
    • Improve communication under pressure situations

    Discover what behavioral triggers stop most change before it begins and how to counteract them.
