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?

The Tip Jar Culture ® Re-Engage & Reignite Your Workforce

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.

Takeaways:

  • A framework to create a sustainable engagement strategy that appeals to broad and diverse employee groups.
  • Three tools to implement simple, but effective, shifts in the experience of work that eliminate the three major frustrations causing employees to leave.
  • Insight into the question that most leaders don’t ask, but all employees wish they would.

While other high school students were practicing for their driver’s license, Nicole was accumulating flight time. She was sixteen years old when she took her first solo flight and from that point on there was no stopping her. While in high school, she joined the Civil Air Patrol and participated in Air Force Junior ROTC. Nicole’s professional story began when she earned her commission from the United States Air Force Academy in 1996. Following graduation, she attended Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) at Columbus AFB, MS and began her career as a pilot. Competitively selected to fly combat aircraft, she was among the first group of women to fly modern fighter aircraft. As a career pilot, she served in combat as an F-15E Flight Commander, Evaluator, Instructor Pilot and Flight Lead. Over her 21-year career, Nicole achieved the rating of Command Pilot with over 2,300 flight hours in six different Air Force aircraft. She was also selected to fly as Thunderbird #3 with the USAF Air Demonstration Squadron – the first woman to fly on any Department of Defense military jet demonstration squadron. Colonel Malachowski has served as a mission ready fighter pilot in three operational F-15E fighter squadrons and has flown over 188 combat hours, including her proudest moment as a fighter pilot: leading the first fighter formation to provide security for Iraq’s historic democratic elections in 2005.

On the ground, Nicole was a White House Fellow, class of 2008-2009, where she served on the Presidential Transition Support Team (PTST) while assigned to the U.S. General Services Administration. The White House Fellows Foundation and Association awarded Nicole the 2019 IMPACT Award for demonstrating both remarkable achievement and transformational contributions in her field, as well as a sustained commitment to the White House Fellows program. Nicole also served two high-level staff assignments at the Pentagon – one in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD P&R) as well as the Secretary of the Air Force Office of International Affairs (SAF/IA). She also served as the Executive Director of the White House’s national ‘Joining Forces’ initiative where she directly advised former First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden on all topics relating to service members, veterans, and military families to include employment, education, mental health, veterans’ homelessness and more.

Nicole’s operational F-15E assignments include two tours of duty at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom as well as one operational assignment to Seymour Johnson AFB, NC. She has also served alongside the United States Army 2nd Infantry Division, Camp Red Cloud, Republic of Korea, as an Air Liaison Officer. During her second assignment to Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, she had the honor of commanding the 333rd Fighter Squadron, leading an elite cadre of F-15E Instructors in the training of the next generation of combat aviators. Further, she was responsible for resources totaling over $1.1B and the execution of a $119M annual flying hour program.

Nicole earned a Master of Arts, with honors, in National Security Policy from American Military University and a second Master of Arts, with highest distinction, in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College. While there, she earned the Admiral Stephen B. Luce Award as the class honor graduate, the first Air Force officer in the history of the Naval War College to do so. Nicole has been recognized with several honors for her consistent contributions to community service. As Nicole continues to recover from her neurological tick-borne illness, she embraces any opportunity to educate others about her medical journey and gains energy from educating others about this growing epidemic. She is on the Board of Directors at the LivLyme Foundation and is a Patient Advisory Board Member of The Dean Center for Tick Borne Illness.

Colonel Nicole Malachowski, USAF (Ret.) was born in Santa Maria, CA and graduated high school in Las Vegas, NV. She and her husband Paul have twin children; son Garrick and daughter Norah. Paul is a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and former F-15E Evaluator Weapons Systems Officer.
