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 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.

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.

and diverse employee groups.

that eliminate the three major frustrations causing employees to leave.

would.

DUELING WITH DISRUPTION

How Great Organizations Simplify Change, to Amplify Results
