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 are accelerating; and,
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?

"Engaging and interactive, the information can be translated to any industry. I thoroughly enjoyed the light-heartedness of the presentation while still delivering a deeper message.!"

The Tip Jar Culture™

Re-Engage & Reignite Your Workforce - Perfect for HR and Leadership Groups

Today’s leaders face a critical workforce challenge, with employees demanding more for less—more pay, flexibility, and control, with less time spent working. This coincides with historically low engagement and loyalty, affecting not just productivity and profits, but also workplace culture and morale. Globally, businesses spend 20 billion dollars each year trying to improve employee engagement and retention. Still, less than 30 percent of the workforce is actively engaged and working toward the organizations success. What most leaders see as problems with workforce culture, or the workers themselves, are just symptoms of the real problem: the employment experience. In this unforgettable keynote former dueling pianist turned award winning speaker Gregory Offner reveals three principles of engaging experiences—used in piano bars—and demonstrates the steps to adapt them for your workforce. Using these three principles (Take a Sip, Fill Out a Slip, and Leave a Tip) organizations can generate more engagement, deeper commitment, and better performance from their existing workforce. Attendees will leave inspired, entertained, and equipped to put these principles into action, and create a Tip Jar Culture™️ of their own.
