The Speaker

 

Scott Carbonara is a keynote speaker/trainer, author, and consultant who “brings authentic leadership to life from the boardroom to the family room.” Scott is known as “The Leadership Therapist” for his diverse professional portfolio–ranging from serving as an award-winning family crisis intervention counselor–to executive director of communications and change management and eventually executive chief-of-staff of Blue Cross Blue Shield. While there, he addressed a skyrocketing 38% attrition rate and, through digging beyond the surface and implementing creative employee engagement initiatives and branding of a positive corporate culture, led the team that reduced it to an unprecedented 6.5%. Scott’s dual background in both counseling and executive leadership makes him a highly-skilled, passionate communicator and problem solver who provides direction to diverse teams ranging in size from 1 to 100,000. Scott has spoken at international conferences and for such esteemed groups as Chicago Booth School of Business, SAS, and AT&T Global, and is the author of several leadership books including A Manager’s Guide to Employee Engagement (McGraw Hill, 2012), and the training program, Go Positive: Lead to Engage (Pfeiffer 2012). Through his humorous and practical keynotes, personalized consulting, and story-driven books, he breathes life into leadership topics including employee engagement, change management, communication, customer service, and happiness. Like a houseplant which grows towards the light, Scott aims to inspire people everywhere to lead by living positively, and paying it forward. Visit his website at www.LeadershipTherapist.com.
