My Smallest Audience Ever!

October 1, 2009

OK, I just addressed the smallest audience I’ve ever had in 16 years of speaking – five people. The event was adequately promoted, but this organization is having a tough time getting its members to participate. (I was glad they warned me in advance so I wouldn’t take it personally!) An intimate group like this is [...]

I’m on a United flight to New York and trying out GoGo Inflight Internet service.  So far, so good. If you reading this, then consider this entry my endorsement.

Parenting a Negative Child

September 24, 2009

July 2009, Motivational Speaker Scott Greenberg

August 2, 2009

July is often a slow month for a motivational speaker, but this year’s been good to me. I began keynoting a convention in Dallas for Key Club International, a fantastic service organization for teenagers. Then I made three separate trips to Santa Barbara to be the youth motivational speaker for the California Association of Director [...]

Working With the U.S. Government

I just got back from Washington, D.C. where I worked with the United States Department of the Interior Office of the Inspector General. (I know, it’s a mouthful).

Self-Esteem or Self-Destruction

May 25, 2009

I had a troubling experience at a recent student leadership conference I facilitated for 7th grades. I took 45 students through an activity where they had to toss balls in a specified pattern around three separate circles. They had to set a goal for how many balls they could successfully move through the pattern without [...]
