Author of The Tip Jar Culture: How To Re-Engage and Reignite Your Workforce
World-renowned dueling pianist who has performed across five continents
Formally led global sales and marketing efforts for Fortune 100 organizations

Gregory Offner combines Fortune 100 leadership experience with his background as a professional entertainer to help organizations foster a more productive, satisfied, and engaged workforce through soft skills training. With experience as both a corporate consultant and world-renowned dueling pianist and entertainer, Greg brings an unusual perspective to workplace development. Greg has led global sales and marketing initiatives for Fortune 100 companies, managed complex risk programs for large commercial organizations, and worked as a certified Lean Six Sigma practitioner. Before turning 30, he'd analyzed onboarding, training, and development programs at 43 companies, studying the performance gap between organizations that prioritize soft skills versus those focused solely on technical training. After spending more than two months in complete silence following multiple vocal cord surgeries that nearly left him mute, Greg transformed his work from personal interest into professional mission. He now helps organizations identify specific changes that create meaningful impact. His approach addresses a gap many companies overlook in their development programs: the soft skills that distinguish good performers from exceptional ones. By integrating his entertainment background into corporate settings, often incorporating a piano into presentations, Greg creates experiences that make skill development memorable and actionable. Book Greg to transform your next training session from standard programming into an engaging experience that drives real behavioral change.

Topics, sessions and talks

The Encore Experience

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. During the session, 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 Tip Jar Culture

In this talk, Gregory Offner addresses the pressing challenge leaders face with employee engagement and retention. He highlights that despite significant investments, less than 30% of the workforce is actively engaged. Gregory shares three principles from his piano bar experience—Take a Sip, Fill Out a Slip, and Leave a Tip—that can transform workplace culture. Attendees will learn how to create a sustainable engagement strategy, implement effective shifts in the work experience, and understand the crucial questions employees want answered.

Dueling With Disruption

In his keynote, Gregory Offner addresses the high failure rate of corporate change initiatives, revealing the reasons behind this phenomenon. Drawing parallels between music and business, he emphasizes the importance of two key elements for fostering a culture that embraces disruption. By applying principles from psychology and behavioral economics, Gregory guides attendees to reflect on their own change strategies. Participants will learn how to ignite change resilience, identify essential ingredients for sustaining disruption, and define disruption's impact on organizational and personal growth.

Why we recommend booking Gregory

Gregory Offner delivers a rare combination of Fortune 100 expertise and world-class entertainment that transforms standard training into unforgettable experiences your team will actually use. His proven frameworks help organizations bridge the critical soft skills gap that separates good performers from exceptional ones, creating immediate behavioral change that drives measurable results.
