Scott Greenberg

Keynote Presenter

Scott Greenberg was attending the New York University film school when doctors discovered a softball-sized tumor in his chest. As a kid, Scott heard his grandparents talk about how they survived the holocaust. He looked to their experiences for lessons in resilience as he began a battle for his own life. Inspired by their strength, Scott went on to beat the cancer, run the Los Angeles Marathon and ultimately become one of the most popular youth speakers in North America.

In addition to his motivational assemblies and keynotes, Scott is an expert in student leadership. He’s written three books, including the “Jump Start” leadership workbook series and “The Sandbags & The Fire: How Leaders Cut Loose Their Hang-ups & Soar To Success.” He is also a regular contributor to “Leadership For Student Activities” magazine, and is published in “Chicken Soup for the College Soul.” He has facilitated leadership- training workshops for countless schools and student organizations.

Scott’s passion for providing nuts and bolts advice to students is apparent the second he picks up a microphone. Poignant stories, hilarious anecdotes combined with practical, substantive messages always leave students buzzing with excitement.
