Dream in Full Color
What inspired me to write this Blog was a Tweet I read after I presented to the Canon Solutions Annual Conference: “We are all ‘dreaming in full color’ with @ScottVMG at #thinkconference2016.” It’s easier to tone DOWN a Colorful idea than it is to tone UP a Boring one!

Why Scott’s Inspirational Message Resonates with Organizations

Influencing Lives…
Scott, I was in the audience today at the AOCA conference in Nashville, and I meant to come by and say ‘hello’ but unfortunately did not get the chance. I very much enjoyed – and learned from – what you had to say today. Thank you. In particular, I couldn’t help but notice how much […]
Great Motivation!
I heard Scott speak at a convention. What a compelling story. He gave most of the presentation from his wheelchair but then stood up for the last ten minutes. His book goes into more detail and depth of the challenges and tragedy followed by the lessons that were learned. Each of these lessons can be […]
