“Tailored, Timely and Terrific! Scott did an amazing job at our 2022 National Sales Meeting of both driving motivation through his incredible story and personalizing the message to ensure our audience felt included. He connected very early with our team through a mix of real emotion and humor that gave him permission to deliver a call to action. I would highly recommend Scott to any organization looking for a gifted speaker to tell a compelling story and then weave in how the focus on vision, mindset, and grit applies to every person in attendance. Lastly, I had the privilege of being on the prep call with Scott and then chatting with him after the conclusion of his keynote, and I can personally attest to his professionalism and genuine care to make his time impactful.”

“Last week, I had the pleasure of hearing Scott Burrows speak at our Unilever National Sales Meeting in Orlando. Not only were his story and perspective awe-inspiring, but the tenets that Scott upholds of ‘Vision. Mindset. Grit.’ serve as the perfect precursor and complement to our CD Family mantra of ‘Lead. Deliver. Win.’ Unilever and the US CD Team appreciate you and your tenacity, Scott! Thank you for gracing us with your experience and wisdom!”

“Scott, I can’t begin to thank you enough for delivering such a powerful message. You inspired a deeper connection among us and left our team with a deep sense that anything is possible. I knew you were going to be great, but you wildly exceeded my expectations. I’m grateful to you and your wife for making the trip to Maui and creating an unforgettable impact. Can’t wait for your next book!”

“The Carestream experience with Scott Burrows was nothing short of extraordinary. He transformed the way we think, and challenged us to reframe and purposefully examine where we are and where we want to be. The few moments when my eyes left Scott to see how our people were receiving him, I was moved by the extent of their engagement; eyes riveted, leaning forward, holding their breath, crying and laughing, riding his highs and lows with him. Scott connected with our group at a deep and meaningful level. From my 40 years of experience in this business, I place Scott among the giants in this field. Tactically, Scott was diligent and invested in preparing for our group, professional and proactive in all communications with us, genuine and personal in his delivery, and masterful in working our reality into his message. A consummate professional. I feel fortunate to have met and worked with Scott, and we are better people and professionals having experienced his presence.”

“Scott, I want to thank you for being our Keynote speaker at our annual meeting. The feedback from my financial advisors and staff has been amazing. Your message was so powerful, and your delivery was incredible. Thank you for taking the time to review our goals and business plan and make that part of your wonderful message! I am so glad I purchased your book for everyone in attendance. Thank you for staying afterwards to personalize each book. You are truly an amazing speaker!”

“Scott’s appearance was nothing less than the perfect commencement to energize, inspire and re-launch a company’s vision in such a very impressive way. His personal experience, coupled with his distinctive presentation, was a custom fit for our client and deeply touched the audience. Scott tailored his presentation around our client’s company, their core values and objectives at hand, while lending his very personal story and anecdotes that complimented the overall meeting theme and messaging of the product. After Scott’s presentation, he maintained a very approachable nature, indulging our group with his time and one-on-one conversations with true class and kindness.”

“Spellbound, entertained and inspired are just a few of the words that immediately come to mind when thinking of Scott Burrows and the impact he has with attendees. Focused on making sure his message is received to positively influence, challenge and add value to each audience member is Scott’s goal. I’ve had the privilege of hearing most of the domestic and international’s best and Scott Burrows is among the elite regardless of the ages in his audience, he delivers with incredible style.”

“Scott Burrows delivered one of the most talked-about sessions in Gordian history. His keynote presentation, which was based on his book Vision, Mindset, Grit – How to Stand Up When Life Paralyzes You, resonated with the over 450 people that were in the room. He inspired everyone through his incredible story of conquering life’s challenges and adapting to change. He encouraged us ALL that we too can make positive changes when faced with unforeseen obstacles that could change our lives forever. Scott will make you laugh, cry and applaud in deep appreciation for sharing his story and how we can all maintain positive momentum in this thing called life.”

“As one of the world’s leading transporters of oil and petroleum products, we recognize that our current and future success is attributed to our skilled and motivated workforce. Every year we look for ways to inspire our employees to reach their goals. We engaged Scott and he quickly connected to our employees and spouses and shared his personal story in a way that made us all rethink our choices and attitudes in life. Scott exceeded our expectations in both his messages and impact.”

“Scott, thank you so much for joining our SMB Summit last week in Kansas City. Your powerful presentation was one of the highest rated and most impactful of the event. Everyone was moved by your story and inspired by your message. From the team at JP Morgan Chase, I wanted to share our appreciation. You are an amazing person. We hope to find another opportunity to hear from you again in the future.”

“Scott,  I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a spectacular talk. A real journey. You connected with my demanding audience in a way that I have rarely ever seen. The creative personal touches you implemented were highly noticeable and appreciated. I will be recommending you every chance I get. All the Best!”

“Scott what a success!! So very thankful for Scott Burrows Kicking Off our 2023 Ohio Safety Congress! Scott connected both life experiences and safety practices in an unforgettable way. I truly feel you hit the mark with our audience.”

“It was such a pleasure to host Scott Burrows at this year’s 2023 Elite Conference. Not only is his presentation incredibly moving, but he took the time to understand our business and culture so his remarks could truly resonate with our audience. Scott, everyone is still talking about how powerful your presentation was and how it really set the tone for the rest of the event. It was such a pleasure working with you and your team throughout the planning process. You are an absolute gem, and we are so thankful that you could share your story with us! (He’s also one of the kindest and most dedicated speaking professionals I’ve ever worked with.)”

“I had so many colleagues telling me how much they enjoyed learning from you. You are a tough act to follow because you set the bar incredibly high. Thanks again!”

“I was preparing for an upcoming conference agenda for my department, and I wanted to finish on a high note that would tie an inspirational message together with some of the business themes we have been experiencing. In talking with Scott, he quickly understood the nature of our business and some of the opportunities and challenges we were facing and was able relate that back to his experience recovering from his accident. We had a great conference, but Scott was undoubtedly the highlight as he absolutely captivated the audience and got several standing ovations. I can’t recommend Scott highly enough if you are looking for someone who can motivate your team and help relate your company’s challenges with those he has faced. Truly one of the best speakers I have had the pleasure of working with or listening to.”

“Scott Burrows is one of the best motivational speakers I have seen. He is dynamic, motivating, and inspiring. He has a way of telling his story that draws you in yet makes you reflect on your own life and career. He makes you think about the limitations you may be putting on yourself and may not even realize it. He is personable, relatable and can put things in perspective like no one else. He truly does make people want to reach for their highest goals and aspirations and not to let anything get in their way. Anyone, no matter what age or stage of life, would be blessed to hear Scott Burrows speak and hear his touching story.”

“Scott Burrows makes an appearance at the Farmers Financial Solutions Annual Forum in Las Vegas, NV. He addresses an audience filled with Registered Representatives and Agents. Scott delivers an exhilarating and motivational presentation while simultaneously signifying that the much-debated Mind-Power relationship exists. His message resonated with the entire audience, earned Scott standing ovations throughout his time on stage, and left many wiping tears off their faces in silence and disbelief. Scott’s sheer Grit sends so many of us on a mission to pursue triumph over adversity and to make positive changes and not give up when things go wrong. Truly one of the best speakers I’ve had the honor to listen to.”

“Scott was amazing and had our participants on the edge of their seats. After a long day of meetings and presentations, Scott was able to capture their hearts and minds with his incredible storytelling and relatable style. We appreciated that Scott could tailor his presentation to our meeting themes and bring to life the mindset that we wanted to cultivate through his unique life story and the grit he used to overcome seemingly impossible circumstances.”

“May 2023: First and foremost, I can’t tell you just how much everyone loved Scott…present company including. Aside from touching everyone in the room with this story, he is one of the most genuinely kind humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would recommend/hire him again in a SECOND.”

“Thank you again for attending our National Sales Meeting and giving such an eloquent, emotional, and engaging presentation. I told our team that our Keynote speaker was an investment in them both personally and professionally and you certainly hit the mark. So many people have said that it was a powerful close to our meeting and I must agree. During your talk you weaved our company’s culture and terminology in beautifully. That was evident to all and was mentioned multiple times by members of our team after your talk. They kept asking how you knew all that about us. It was as if you really knew and understood our industry. That was demonstrated by the terms you used, for example as you referred to our customers as referral sources, to our quarter over quarter growth goals, to referring to physician offices as providers; it was all so consistent with our own lexicon and solidified you as an insider with our company. It was hard for me to believe that you gathered all of that through the calls and discussions we had prior. Last, your personality and charm after the presentation was evident as our team met you for one-on-one discussions and pictures. They were so excited to meet you and thank you personally. And the time you took to sign each of your books with their names and ‘Let it happen!!’ will remind them of the impact of your speech for years to come. From a business perspective, I believe that this was a great investment that will have a powerful ROI and I am so happy we made the decision to invite you. You were the perfect Keynote Speaker and the perfect conclusion to our National Sales Meeting.”

“We hired Scott to be the Keynote speaker for an event with over 250 Employees. Scott was not only motivating and inspiring, but also extremely professional. We had multiple conversations before the event because Scott wanted to make sure he personalized his message. He did a phenomenal job of connecting with the audience because he spoke their language. Many of the attendees came up to me after the presentation with tears in their eyes telling me that was the best speaker they have ever seen. Scott’s message of Vision, Mindset, and Grit is a powerful message that has lasted well beyond the day of our meeting in 2022. I saw Scott present over 10 years ago and I enjoyed it even more the second time!”

“THANK YOU! I’m so in awe of your ability and style, it is so engaging and inspirational. We have an internal chat with our broad leadership team and people were cheering and crying throughout. Your message is phenomenal. I’m a glass half-full person, but I am taking notes from you. You’re an amazing man, and we are so grateful for the session you provided today!”

“I had the pleasure to hire Scott Burrows to deliver the keynote address for the IWLA annual convention. This keynote sets the tone and stage for the entire convention. We look for someone who can inspire us, has a message that ties to our convention theme & industry, and who would motivate us. Scott delivered on these three key points and more! Scott was able to weave his personal story with lessons learned, strategies to overcome obstacles that come your way, and encourage all to never to quit because success can be just around the corner. Our audience was clearly captivated by these messages. A measure of success was that he received two standing ovations. Standing ovations rarely happen in our keynotes, and two have never happened before Scott. Working with Scott was a pleasure. He was available, communicative and generous with his time. He made sure he delivered what we were looking for in a keynote. I highly recommend him as a keynote speaker and would be happy to talk with you personally about our experience.”

“Exceeded my understanding to overcome adversity. He is a highly motivating speaker with an amazing life journey. Spectacular and jaw-dropping presentation.”

“Once he started his presentation, I was hooked. Such a moving and motivational session. Great way to end the conference. You could not have selected a better speaker or topic. Again, Bravo!”

“This was so powerful – excellent choice for the closing speaker.”

“Scott was a wonderful way to end our session. Just cannot get over what a positive person he is and full of amazing energy!”

“Scott took our leadership team on a very personal and emotional journey. His presence was immense! He had our team leaning in, eager to hear his story, and is one of the most impactful motivational speakers I have had the pleasure to hear and work with. Every individual who listened to Scott’s story took away an idea that will help them overcome an obstacle they are dealing with in their personal or professional lives.”

July 2022: “Thank you for the keynote speech at the 3M Health Information Services Client Experience Summit. You were truly motivating to our customer base, received high marks when I talked with the attendees and expertly adapted your message to the audience. Truly, one of the best we have ever had.”

“Scott Burrows did an excellent job delivering a very powerful and motivating keynote presentation at our global Finance & Operations team meeting in Bermuda. His message of Vision, Mindset and Grit resonated with our team in a tremendous way as Scott did an excellent job at not only speaking from his heart but also personalizing his message to touch on various challenges and initiatives that our team has been facing or focusing on. Scott’s story about how he has overcome tremendous challenges in life to achieve enormous success is relevant at both a personal and professional level, and we all walked away with a greater sense of belief in ourselves as individuals and as a team.”

“Scott Burrows’ marketing material and promotional video do not do justice to what he can do for your organization! He is able to skillfully assess your business and then focus those learnings into his actual presentation. He was almost seamless in integrating our industry and company terminology into his message—which allowed him to connect with the audience faster, in turn creating a more meaningful presentation. We not only felt his pain of loss in our own day-to-day experiences, but we realized that we are definitely blessed. Our experience with Scott was motivational, to say the least!”

“It is normally impossible to connect the tragedies that some people have overcome with the comparatively minor issues that most of us deal with (difficult customers, failed projects, etc.). But, Scott made the connection as no one else has: he related the strength that he needed to overcome his debilitating injuries to the strength needed for him to succeed at business. The audience can then easily make the connection to their own lives. Scott’s life experiences and eloquent storytelling make him unique in his ability to draw these parallels.”

“Scott really connected to our top salespeople by incorporating every aspect of our business into his inspiring message. From the standard reference to our product lines, then beyond – intertwining some industry-specific concepts – Scott got it right and truly proved that he cared enough to tailor his comments in a way that captivated our team. I’d recommend Scott in a heartbeat.  He was gracious, professional, engaging, and – most of all – effective. I love his book, too. Thanks for your message, your professionalism and your example, Scott!”

“Sometimes the last speaker at a conference is faced with everyone looking at their watches and wondering about their flights to get back home. Scott Burrows changes that equation in every way. Not only are people glued to their seats, they are hanging on every word coming from him. His passionate story about overcoming the most difficult of life’s challenges is a must-see and must-hear for anyone that believes in ascending to the highest of mountains or reaching for the moon and the stars—even if others are telling you that it cannot be done. There were few dry eyes in our audience when Scott was done, but there were many hearts and minds opened to the possibilities of what perseverance and belief in oneself can achieve. Scott Burrows delivers more than a speech about what he has overcome in his life, he brings a mindset that can change your life.”

“Scott hits the sweet spot of sharing a story that is inspirational, but also one with lessons that can be readily applied in our personal and business lives — both delivered in a high-energy style that kept our audience thoroughly engaged.”

“Scott Burrows “hit it out of the ballpark” with his “Vision, Mindset, Grit” presentation. The feedback from our colleagues was overwhelming positive. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Believe,” and Scott’s story blended beautifully with our meeting message. I was particularly impressed on how well Scott seamlessly incorporated our client’s names, 2014 goals, and other key information into his talk. Scott received a standing ovation, and there were more than a few damp eyes in the audience.”

“Scott’s presentation spoke to me in a very powerful way. Such a great testimony to accept life’s challenges and push for a better outcome no matter what outside influences might exist, good or bad! This has changed my way of addressing challenges and everyday battles, at least battles as I perceive them, and build on the positives life has in store! Thank you, Scott, for sharing your testimony with myself and my coworkers at Alta Way!”

“Scott absolutely hit a home run with his presentation for our school district. The combination of “willing to fail, unwilling to quit” while using Vision, Mindset and Grit as his backdrop really resonated with our staff. Thank you for your inspirational words, our staff is excited about the new school year!”

“You hit a ‘hole in one’ with our sales conference in Las Vegas. Your Vision, Mindset and Grit message is a powerful and emotional message. Your accomplishments demonstrate how life’s obstacles can be converted into success and not considered setbacks. Your story has shown my team to work through our challenges and drive for positive results and to push for an additional 1/8th of an inch.”

“I’ve been sourcing speakers for our annual leadership meeting for several years, and this year I believe Scott’s message was one of the most powerful and resonating keynotes witnessed by our attendees. There is a turning point in Scott’s message where I can guarantee your audience will all rise to their feet in thunderous applause, emotionally thunderstruck by the moment. His personal story of tragedy would ultimately prove to be no match for his will to triumph through Vision, Mindset & Grit. I don’t think there is another person out there that truly ‘walks the talk’ as a keynote speaker. If you want to be reassured and inspired that the human will is stronger than life’s setbacks and there really are no limits to your dreams, let it happen with Scott Burrows.”

“Scott grabs your attention from beginning to end! His story of grit, determination, and perseverance is powerful and compelling. He leaves you feeling inspired!”

“The conference was a buzz after Scott’s presentation, Scott you set the tone. There were so many points you presented that hit home for so many people, even the zoom audience felt it. It was a privilege to have you here. These are the comments received:

• Amazing! Great speaker!
• Tremendous message. Excellent and very important information to apply in all work/industry/personal life.
• Great inspirational message and well adjusted for safety pros. I was able to apply it to various aspects of life even outside of the workplace.
• Great way to start the morning. Inspired. Great reminder how life can always change in a matter of seconds.

Huge thanks for sharing your story!”

“Your testimony was truly inspiring. It is a story that shows how every decision we make, whether at home or on the job will determine our destiny. It also shows that making safe decisions daily and keeping your safety and the safety of others a priority is so important. We are still talking about your story, and I am sure we will continue to talk about it for years to come. Your entire message was one that points out the reality of how one decision can change your life and how you overcame some very tough obstacles. Obstacles that I am not sure that I personally could overcome. DFS has been working very hard to build a strong safety culture. A strong safety culture is based on beliefs, attitude, behaviors and habits. These four ingredients are solely produced by people. We must believe that safety is our number one objective. Once belief is established, we must have the right attitude and approach with this belief. Once the correct attitude is formed, we must teach and train safe behaviors. Behaviors are formed by teaching safe habits. Thank you for sharing your story. Your overall presentation was very impactful to our organization. A testimony of truth, reality, inspiration and hope. Thank you!”

“Scott Burrows’ impact on our agency is still being felt a month after our conference. Our team continues to talk about his presentation, which has led to consistent and documented growth. Yes, our agents were inspired and motivated by Scott, but they were able to take his life lessons and put them to work which resulted in our agency’s largest month ever. If you are looking for a speaker who has lived and learned from life’s tough punches, who can humbly transfer his belief on what it takes to become successful in any aspect of life, Scott Burrows is your guy. The ‘ah-ha’ moment when he gets out of his chair left our attendees speechless. There was not a dry eye in the room. That feeling, that amazement, you don’t forget after his keynote.”

“Scott did wonderful job serving as the keynote speaker for our 2022 Annual Sales Conference. His presentation impacted our employees in such a positive and emotionally stirring manner that we have continued to hear comments such as ‘Best meeting yet!’ and ‘What an awesome event!’ Scott’s buildup and delivery grip the attention of the audience and pull them in by captivating their attention. We provided Scott with descriptive information about our company, and he took the time and effort to customize it by weaving it throughout his presentation, allowing our employees to relate to the message he was were sharing. This included using the D&M Leasing language and lingo our sales team utilize everyday while on the job. It was energizing, captivating, relatable, and astounding! We have booked many speakers over the years. Scott raised the bar and delivered the impact we were looking for.”

“If living with success is easy and overcoming adversity is the true test of the human spirit, Scott Burrows passed the test with flying colors and went right to the head of the class.  Scott’s presentation on Vision, Mindset and Grit is an extremely powerful, warm, enlightening and inspirational chronicle of an amazing man with a very active and passionate heart and soul. Scott exemplifies WILL and HUMANITY. Beyond the fundamental message of never giving up, Scott Burrows delivers multiple messages in his presentation that stimulate deep thought, raw emotion and bold energy to dig a little deeper and be a lot stronger. In 20+ years of hand-picking speakers to create very substantive impact with large and diverse audiences, Scott Burrows was hands-down, heads-up, eyes-welling and hearts-pounding one of the very best.”

“We chose to use Scott to kick off our annual Conference, hoping to get our attendees motivated – and our expectations were more than exceeded. GWN has been holding our annual Conference for nearly 20 years, and Scott is the first speaker to get two standing ovations in a singular presentation. His story was both inspiring and easily communicated. Perhaps the most valuable thing I could say about his presentation is that for the remaining three days of our Conference, attendees could not stop talking about him. That’s the kind of excitement that leads to a successful event! Thank you, Scott, for blowing away our audience and making us look good for having you up on stage.“

“I could say that Scott Burrows simply ‘spoke’ to our buying group organization’s owners and senior leaders on January 29, 2019 about Vision, Mindset and Grit, but actually, it would be better stated that Scott mesmerized this group of hard-to-impress folks on these topics that day! By diligently researching SMA before his speech, learning in-depth our purpose, practices, challenges and opportunities, and precisely aligning these with the myriad relevant aspects of his amazing life’s story, Scott drove home to all a message of seeing what is possible and good, overcoming all obstacles to get there, and winning! He left our audience standing, clapping and deeply wishing that he would stay with us a whole lot longer!”

“Scott’s message of vision, mindset and grit is transformational and timeless. His ability to seamlessly weave a company’s unique purpose, vision and values into the incredibly inspirational story of his personal journey to motivate and help teams conquer challenges in both their personal and professional lives is truly top-notch. Even in an entirely virtual event, you could sense he had us all on the edge of our seats and leaning in for more.”

“Thanks for the excellent and highly inspirational virtual video – we had great feedback from so many members of the team. I personally took several pages of notes!! Many of your key points served as great reminders for me and certainly helped put many things back into perspective. You clearly demonstrate that with the right attitude, bloody hard work and repeated practice turning the impossible to the inevitable is within all of us.”

“I had the pleasure of seeing Bobby Bowden speak several years ago at a Fellowship for Christian Athletes breakfast several years ago. He had me from the first sentence and energized me and helped restore my positive energy. After watching you this morning with Kemper Life, you have renewed that energy to the next level. After working here for 33 years, the last 19 as a District Manager, I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. You have given me strength to renew my vision and carry it on with the grit and determination needed. Thank you for your inspirational message, and maybe one day we can all meet in person at another event.”

“Scott Burrows was just what TASBO members needed for 2022! He was everything we had hoped he would be – inspirational, motivating, thought-provoking and more. Schools have had a tough couple of years and his message of Vision – Mindset – Grit were perfect. Still getting great responses from your keynote. Our members were inspired as were we. Will definitely be singing your praises to other ASBOs!”

“We recently launched a new sales division and were facing challenges and growing pains common in the start-up phase of many organizations. Oftentimes, the little things can get people down, and in a growth organization, these include basic operational and support challenges as well as the challenge of being ‘first’ and having to establish a successful culture and foundation with limited bench strength to draw upon. I believe we can learn a lot from the experiences of others and was looking for a speaker who could help put the challenges we were facing into perspective, and could share the work ethic, attitude and beliefs they followed down their road to success for my team to learn from. Scott Burrows was definitely the right choice, and his personal story touched everyone. Scott worked with my management team and me to understand our business goals and challenges, and effectively paralleled these with his own experiences to illustrate how his approach could be applied to their personal challenges. He was effective in his delivery, was well received by the team, and I believe he provided them with the inspiration and motivation to continue breaking new ground, while establishing a winning culture in the process.”

“Scott’s presentation at our national sales meeting was incredibly inspiring. His talk was particularly powerful as he took significant time to understand our business and the approaches we are taking to win. He combined his content with our messaging to the Thermo Fisher team to make for an engaging 60 minutes (without a single powerpoint slide!). Thank you, Scott – your impact on our team will be lasting.”

“Scott does a wonderful job tying in your specific business challenges with his strong message of digging in and finding your way to success when things might seem impossible to overcome. He is engaging and comedic, serious and heartwarming all in one package. He will move your team in ways they will not be expecting, and I highly recommend him as a keynote speaker for any organization!”

“Scott’s presentation was definitely the highlight of our Safety Summit. Thank you so much for sharing your story and how you overcame challenges to be who you are today. It reminded us that no matter how small or large the decision, anyone can be impacted. Safety is not only needed in the workplace, but anywhere you are, in any scenario. Life can change in an instant.”

“The presentation was absolutely amazing – I watched it three times! I have received so many comments on how impactful Scott’s message has been. Here are some comments from attendees…”

• “It was electrifying…What an incredible story and role model! The other important lesson is the hidden aspects about other folks. Guilt, heartache, etc.”
• “The presentation was absolutely amazing…I received so many comments on how impactful Scott’s message has been.”
• “These safety stories are all great. This one was the best and covered so many aspects and truly the mindset is so important.”
• “I’d like to say thank you for sharing your story with me. I am an avid reading (sic) of true stories. I read a lot of stories about what how people have survived unbelievable stories. It always gives me hope and strength to keep on keeping on.”
• “This presentation was incredibly impactful; great speaker, great message and great delivery. Thank you!”

Grit. I’ve thought a lot about what that word means over the last week since having Scott speak at our event. Angela Duckworth recently dug deep on the idea of grit in the book by the same name. She defines “grit” as preservice and passion for long-term goals. Scott Burrows is the personification of this idea. He leaves it all on the stage and connects some big, powerful ideas with everyday life. Scott’s story is about more than just grit, and you won’t be able to walk out of the room without feeling inspired by his preservice and passion.”

“Scott Burrows has the ability to deliver what few speakers can—a story that goes deeper than merely creating an emotional response and instead reaches deep into the soul. His life story teaches vision with grit determination. His presentation of the story has the ability to not only inspire but also forever change those whose soul can absorb the message. You may begin the event seated firmly in your own convictions, fears and ways, but you walk away filled with hope and vision, both personally and professionally!”

“Each year our global sales conference is literally our “Super Bowl” for the celebrity sales team, it’s the one time we’re all together and our big shot at setting the tone for the upcoming year with a high energy and motivational message. Thanks to Scotty Burrows, 2016 will be our best year ever!”

“I was awed by Scott’s ability to convey his powerful, heartfelt, and inspirational story in a manner that everyone can easily relate to. While he customized his message to our organization and the unique challenges we face, he clearly shares how anyone can tackle the challenges of their personal or work life through their own application of Vision, Mindset and Grit. It was a remarkable presentation that I will not forget. I suggest everyone seek out Scott to hear his message.”

“Scott Burrows has a story to tell. A moving story, one that will make your eyes well up, will make you come to your feet in support and will leave you with a message forever implanted in your brain.”

“It was so special to meet you and hear your story…you have such a gift to be able to share your experience, struggles and how you’ve overcome those challenges, all while touching and changing people’s lives! Your presentation was wonderful, and our main Teva client, Mike Sheehy, told me afterward that he was super impressed with your speech and felt you did a great job. He had nothing but positive things to say. Even walking out with you, so many people wanted to tell you how great it was, and I heard them say that you were the best speaker they’d ever heard. Your story is so inspiring, and you have a way of tying it into the company brand and mission and applying it to any life situation.”

“The feedback from your presentation was EXCEPTIONAL! Thematically, I could not have imagined a better presentation and how it tied into the journey of CONMED and its employees must take to regain our vitality in the markets we serve.”

“Mr. Burrows exceeded our expectations as a motivational speaker. His story is one of grit and determination. It made a huge impact on many of our staff members. The comments on the post-conference survey were outstanding for Mr. Burrows. Many really felt a resounding impact from his message.”

“Words cannot express! 38 years ago, stories of two similar individuals inspired me and pinpointed my desire to be a PT. They introduced me to the depth and power of the human spirit, and I wanted to be even a small part of that healing process. It’s a decision that has always brought me deep personal rewards and my desire to maintain the commitment to promote healing. Today, I was emotionally returned to that inspired 15 years of enthusiasm—brighter and more awestruck than ever. The amazing progress achieved in these last decades in medicine is second only to Scott’s story. Tears flowed as my mind and heart soared. I can’t wait to share this experience with my family and staff. Thank you for the gift.”

“By far, your story and presentation of Vision, Mindset, and Grit has been the most powerful experience I have had the pleasure to witness. We have had the privilege of bringing in some world class speakers into our organization, but never have I seen one person impact my entire organization as you did. My associates are overcoming their handicaps and we are surpassing goals in our work!”

“You effectively conveyed to our team of roughly 300 attendees that we all have the potential to overcome challenges and obstacles. Given your situation you have demonstrated by example that even the most overwhelming of setbacks and be converted into success, fulfillment and personal realization.”

“I’ve heard over 100 motivational speakers at various conferences, including speakers such as Pat Riley, Lou Holtz, Chris Gardner (The Pursuit of Happiness) and many, many others. Though I can remember a few of the speakers, it is rare that I can remember what they’ve spoken about – at least not for very long. Your message Vision, Mindset and Grit is simple but so very powerful. It is simple enough that I have thought about it every day since your presentation. It has been a powerful reminder to me of the importance of having a clear vision, a mindset to focus on those things I can control and having enough perseverance – Grit – not to give up too soon.”

“Scott’s presentation at our Annual Sales Meeting was outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for more! Scott’s Vision, Mindset & Grit message engaged and motivated the entire audience. He customized his message to incorporate our industry and products – something we’ve never had a speaker do for us in the past. This special touch made it even more meaningful to our organization. Scott’s stories were unforgettable and uplifting, and his passion inspired us all!”
