Scott Burrows, Insurance Sales Keynote Speaker
Have You Neglected Your Most Important Client? As an insurance speaker and former advisor for Northwestern Mutual, I know the insurance industry fared pretty well in 2020. However, many media outlets viewed life insurance through the lens of “panic buying.” In a piece by Greg Iacurci for CNBC (October 14, 2020) entitled “Americans are […]
Scott Burrows, Grit and Resilience Speaker
Resilience is Forged by Determination & Grit Last year in a virtual speech on resilience, I was asked if a resilient manager is the descriptor of someone without conviction or an objective. “Oh no,” I said, “it is quite the opposite.” In fact, as a keynote speaker on resilience, I know that the most […]

What is The Winning Script for Writing More Scripts in 2021? “The landscape of pharma was radically altered by the pandemic…experts say that the industry will soon be taking stock of how it navigated the pandemic and what the sudden shifts in operations and regulations could mean in the long-term.” – Pharma Manufacturing, January […]
Scott Burrows, Resilience Speaker
Sometimes Resilience Means Standing Firm As a motivational speaker on resilience and grit, I have learned that most people confuse resilient with flexible.

Scott Burrows, Goal Setting and Success Speaker
“Dealing with It,” Isn’t a Game Plan In a recent virtual presentation I gave on goal setting and success for 2021, I commented that “Dealing with It” isn’t a game plan.

Scott Burrows, Resilience and Adversity Keynote Speaker
Adversity is Not a Four-Letter Word Several years ago, the Harvard Business Review ran an article entitled “How to Bounce Back from Adversity.” It is as important now as when it was first written a decade ago. One of my favorite passages rings true to me now, more than ever: “Even for the less […]
Scott Burrows, Real Estate Sales Speaker
Be Determined to Be the Difference in Real Estate Sales As a virtual motivational speaker for those in real estate sales, I know that “the numbers” don’t tell the story. In 2019, about 6 million new and existing homes were sold and there were about 1.4 million realtors. Sounds easy, right? Hardly. Along came […]
