In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Gregory Offner, a former dueling piano bar entertainer turned sought-after motivational speaker and workplace culture expert. Gregoryâs story is one of radical reinvention â a journey that started behind a piano and led to stages around the world, helping organizations create meaningful employee experiences and improve performance through engagement.
We kick off the conversation exploring Gregory's deep love for music and how it became the launching pad for his unconventional career path. He shares why the traditional "9-to-5" never fit him and how performing in rowdy piano bars across the country taught him more about audience engagement, leadership, and adaptability than any corporate training ever could.
But Gregory's story takes a dramatic turn when he literally loses his voice â both physically and metaphorically. After undergoing vocal cord surgery and facing the real possibility of never singing again, Gregory had to redefine his identity and purpose.

How to capture and keep attention in any setting â from live music venues to corporate boardrooms.
Why todayâs leaders must focus on experiential engagement over information overload.
His unique framework for understanding the four types of audiences and how to tailor your communication for maximum impact.
