Gregory Offner
Former Dueling Pianist Turned Author; Workforce Strategist; Award-Winning Keynote Speaker

Bio
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
Reconnecting to Purpose, Performing with Passion, and Delivering More, Together!
When was the last time you went to a concert so good, you found yourself cheering “one more song” at the end? THAT is an Encore experience. Why doesn’t this exist in the workplace?
Imagine a workplace where:
- Your people take personal responsibility for their performance each day
- Work feels fun again
- Positive results accelerate
- Your culture is so good, everyone wants to work there
Your people are the center of the action. Creating an encore experience with your teams builds a culture that has them excited about coming back every day.
Gregory Offner sets a new standard for how content is brought to the keynote stage, delivering a lively, one-of-a-kind and extremely fun performance; blending the interactive format of a dueling piano stage with high-impact takeaways to help people reimagine their amazing potential and impact in the workplace.
The Encore Experience gets the attendees to own the spotlight in the session, just as you’d want them to in the workplace. Gregory takes song requests from the audience and weaves their musical ideas into his messaging—backed by scientific data–to help amplify the changes you’re looking to create.
The magic of this experience is that everyone realizes how different an hour of work can feel when you embrace this mindset.
Are YOU ready for an encore?
