  • Scott’s message really set the tone for our meeting—it resonated with our franchisees and tied directly into our CEO’s presentation, which was fantastic! Scott built a highly customized presentation for our event and referenced real-world examples specific to our franchise system, which everyone loved. Even following our convention, we continue to hear our groups speaking of how a 'High-Performance Mindset' helps them to better achieve their goals.

    Susan Milkowski, VP, Learning & Development Buffalo Wings & Rings
  • We left our conference feeling energized... It has been almost a month since our off-site meeting and our group is still talking about the session.

    Tony Chimera, Vice President - Human Resources Axis Capital
  • Scott Greenberg was our keynote speaker for this year’s Showhomes Annual Conference 2014 and I have to say, we have never had such a great speaker! We have an evaluation after every session and Scott literally scored perfect and in some cases, franchisees gave him a ‘6’ or higher on a scale of 1 to 5!

    Lynn Chapman, Regional Director of Field Operations & Event Manager Showhomes Homes Staging
  • Scott’s delivery was perfect. We were absolutely captivated the whole time he was speaking; not an easy accomplishment with a longer presentation! He was engaging, entertaining, and inspiring. The franchisees were genuinely moved and took away a lasting message of teamwork and continually striving to excel. Aside from the fantastic presentation, Scott was a joy to work with and very responsive. He really did his homework to understand our brand. Scott was able to connect to the franchisees at a deep level and brought the kind of third-party credibility that we needed to inspire everyone. He even arrived early the day of the event to check in with me and see if we needed help setting up. Scott was an absolute ‘10 out of 10’!

    Kara Bowen, Community Manager Honey Dew Donuts
  • Scott captivated our group by engaging our franchisees right from the start of his program. The candor in his delivery, his knowledge for our business and our competition, and his humor resonated well within our group. Scott was well prepared, efficient and an overall pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Scott for your next business convention or gathering.

    Richard Bowen, President & CEO Honey Dew Donuts
  • Scott Greenberg's presentation at our Annual Franchise Reunion was the highest rated session of the entire event (and the event was pretty darn good!). Scott was lively, funny, poignant, and credible; he spoke from experience and his unique perspective of also being a franchisee. His message challenged us and our paradigm and resonated with every person in the audience. We're all still referring to the terminology he used and I truly believe he had an impact on everyone who heard him speak. Scott's message of mindset overcoming fear, listening to your "inner heckler", gratitude and time is one that should be heard by many. I would strongly recommend Scott to anyone, particularly franchise groups, to hear him speak, feel his passion and learn from his experiences.

    Eric Ersher, Founder & CEO Zoup! Fresh Soup Company
  • Thank you very much for your energy and professionalism throughout the planning and execution of your keynote. The way you incorporated our brand and Summit theme into your talk was unprecedented! This enhanced our credibility as a franchise and really successfully set up the other events of the program. You may not have planned this, but I think that your talk really set an underlying theme of positive accountability for both Z and Zor. Great job!

    John C. Strand, CFE Lenny's Subs
  • Scott absolutely nailed the learning objectives for this year’s conference. We loved every aspect of working with him – from his pre-program commitment of visiting a clinic in order to better learn our business, to dovetailing the messaging of the leadership team, to his availability before and after the program and, of course, the keen delivery of relevant branding and messaging he brought to the table – and we can easily and confidently recommend Scott to any franchise group looking for an outstanding keynote speaker. We got our value’s worth and so much more - a priceless investment!

    Scott Hoots, VP Operations American Family Care
  • I'd like to thank you for doing such a GREAT presentation at the 2016 Institute! Your session was very impactful and one of the highest rated ones in recent years. I enjoyed working with you and appreciated the way you took the time to really get to know Great Clips. It was clear that you gained an understanding of your audience and our brand. THANK YOU!

    Lora A. Peterson, Director Great Clips University
  • Scott, thank you for delivering such a spot-on message to our franchisees on taking their business to the next level! I absolutely feel that they will experience growth and further success from your direction and sharing your book with each of them. Thanks again!

    Steve Hart, CEO & Co-Founder Property Management, Inc.
  • "Book him now! We brought Scott in to keynote our annual franchise convention. We asked him to deliver a presentation about how to create the ultimate customer experience. He did more than discuss this; he demonstrated it. He interviewed franchisees, researched our company, and gave a presentation that felt completely customized. It was a perfect mix of substance and emotion (which happens to be his formula for creating memorable customer encounters). Scott’s presentation was packed with value for our franchisees. He shared practical ideas we could immediately use. The impact has been obvious. With Scott’s help, our brand is now serving customers at an even higher level, enhancing our reputation and improving our bottom line. As speakers go, we could not have made a better investment!”

  • “Scott, you’re my hero! As I told you in person yesterday, outstanding job on the presentation. I can NOT tell you the number of positive remarks I received all afternoon and all evening last night about your presentation. 

    • ‘Incredibly useful!’
    • ‘The perfect blend of high concept thinking, mixed with useful tangible examples.’
    • ‘Exactly what we all need to hear right now.’
    • ‘Best keynote ever … fascinating and something that I can use tomorrow to impact my store’s performance and my crew’s approach to customer service.’
    I even had several vendors/non-Golden Chick folks remark about how useful and timely the approach is even outside our industry, and how it is going to impact how they approach their future business approaches. I wanted to say “thank you” again … I know I piled a lot on you in the last week, but your deck and your overall enthusiastic, articulate, and approachable presentation was amazing.” 

    Golden Tree Restaurants LLC
  • “I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your presentation to our Global Enablement Content and Curriculum team. My whole team agreed that the last year has been extraordinary and difficult. We have been asked, like so many, to do more with less time. Although our team is predominantly remote, the demands of kids, parents and social isolation have been difficult. In short, we needed a Resiliency Booster Shot. You delivered. The team deeply related to your ability to be both vulnerable and hopeful. Many expected ‘another talking head’ and instead they found themselves wrapped into a narrative of practical resiliency which felt both inspiring and actionable. Your rare skill in breaking down components of response capabilities and then bring both logic and emotion together helped bring my team back together in a really tough time. We look forward to having you back and being that nourishing presence that truly enables us to achieve Healthy High Performance. If we can be an advocate for your capabilities for others, please don’t hesitate to refer us!

  • “We wanted to express our gratitude for you taking the time to speak at the Allstate National Catastrophe Leadership conference. Your dialogue delivered the perfect amount of compassion and energy needed for our meeting. Your speech integrated perfectly with the main topics at the conference. I was extremely impressed with how you did your pre-work (i.e., phone interviews, employee feedback surveys, and one-on-one calls with our leaders), to ensure you were prepared to speak to our team. Once the day arrived, your speech was inspirational and delivered with such heart and purpose that it really drove home the key messages we had asked you to deliver. The immediate feedback from our attendees has been extremely positive. The “heckler” proved to be one of the “Aha” moments of the conference. The personal struggles you shared (your cancer journey) were personal but extremely touching to our leaders. It was a pleasure working with you!”

    Allstate Insurance
  • “We were delighted to invite Scott to speak recently at our virtual Leadership in Action conference. Having had to pivot to virtual events for this year, we are aware that these can often be more difficult especially when it comes to engaging the audience. Scott was engaging from start to finish with his presentation and delivered it with energy and precision whilst asking the audience for their participation via the chat feature on the conference platform!  Scott speaks passionately and provided some valuable insights for our attendees who had lots of questions by the end of the presentation which Scott was very happy to answer. Feedback from our delegates since the conference, for Scott, has been great and we will definitely be looking at inviting him to speak for us again in the future.”

THINK, LEAD, SERVE: How Mindset and Culture Lead to Profit and Performance

Program Focus: Mindset, Company Culture, Sales Growth, Customer Experience, Life Balance

In a busy work environment, it’s easy to get so caught up in tactics and everything that needs to be done that you forget about your individual mindset and the collective culture of your organization. But these human elements are the very things that separate the average from the extraordinary. To operate in a way that makes the most impact and ultimately, the most money, your culture must excel in three critical areas: the way people think, the way they lead, and the way they serve.

In this engaging, practical keynote program, Scott will show you how to:

THINK like a high performer. Take control of your brain to ensure your mindset is an asset to the organization, not a detriment.

LEAD in a way that promotes both the skill set and mindset of individual team members while also uniting them into a proud, loyal, and collaborative workforce that genuinely wants the best for the organization and the people it serves.

SERVE customers and the community by creating emotionally satisfying experiences that will quickly produce referrals and loyal repeat business.

You will learn:

  • The “Trigger to Trouble” process and how to disrupt it
  • How to work from your “point of clarity” and overcome the most common mental blockers that sabotage performance
  • How to manage your time to ensure you’re not just active, but proactive
  • What a culture actually is (beyond being nice to people) and how to effectively build and preserve it
  • How to overcome your hiring biases, understand your beliefs about the hiring process, and why you need the discipline to hold out for the right people.
  • How to move from facilitating transactions to building connections with your customers
  • Shift from upselling to upserving so you can increase your average ticket size while meeting the customer’s needs at a more intuitive level
