Biography

Scott Greenberg was a promising graduate film student when he was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. Having grown up hearing stories of how his grandparents survived the holocaust, he knew it was now time to apply their lessons to his own fight for survival.

During his chemotherapy and radiation treatments, he kept a journal, noting the attitudes and behaviors of fellow patients. Why did some suffer and others thrive, regardless of their specific diagnosis? Would these same reasons also apply to people’s personal and professional lives? This curiosity would eventually become the basis for thousands of speeches. Scott ultimately beat the disease and went on to run the Los Angeles marathon.

For almost two decades now, Scott has been a full-time motivational speaker specializing in resilience and peak performance. While he presents a variety of programs on leadership, customer service and success strategies, all of his keynotes and workshops use humor, personal stories and practical content relevant to each group. Clients of Scott's include Nike, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the Young Presidents' Organization. He has written three books on leadership and is contributing author to "Chicken Soup for the College Soul."
