Motivational Speaker
(available socially distanced or virtual)

Speaking is one of my greatest passions, and privileges. I love to inspire, connect, educate and touch hearts. This is accomplished through a lot of audience participation, storytelling, group and individual activities, and even the odd magic trick. Whatever’s necessary to truly connect with my audience, and spark growth and change. 

I have had the privilege of being a featured speaker at The Hero Round Table Conference in Brighton, MI, The National Publicity Summit in New York, NY, and the Ontario Academic Advising Professionals Conference in Mississauga, ON, to name a few.  

A few of the topics I cover include:

Innovation

In today’s market we’re either moving forward or falling behind. So how can we continually move forward and hold our competitive advantage? Through constant innovation. I help companies apply the concept of “Kaizen” not as an exercise, but as a culture.

Workplace Bullying Prevention

Bullying in the workplace doesn’t need to exist, and is not an inevitability. Its existence however costs companies a lot of money and top talent. Workplace bullying is simply the by-product of poor communication and lack of a defined team culture; both of which I can help companies develop.

Team Building

I assist companies in developing and maintaining, deep rooted and loyal “Team” cultures. The kind of teams associated with elite sports franchises labeled dynasties. These teams are committed, to consistent improvement, and to each other.

A Celebration Of Powerful Women In The Workplace

I join forces with my powerful wife, Denise Garrido (former Miss Canada, 3rd Degree Black Belt, Philanthropist and Speaker), who for all of her accomplishments and kind heart, had to leave her last job due to workplace bullying. Together we help celebrate and unite powerful women, and men, and foster new cultures of mutual respect, empathy and teamwork.

You Get What You Give In Networking

If you wear your intent like a neon sticker across your forehead, what does your sticker say?
Successful networkers are focused on being of service to others, and are rightly perceived as sincere, caring and helpful. Unsuccessful networkers are focused on themselves. As in life, you get out of networking what you give.

“Your ability to read our customers and entertainment was amazing. Your performances helped maintain the ‘Magic of Magnussen’ throughout each day and judging by the laughter and the “oooing” in the crowd this was nothing short of spectacular!…”

“It was our pleasure to have you at our holiday party. Everyone was delighted to experience a little magic at the end of the day and several people came up to me upon departing to tell me how much they enjoyed your performance and being able to “assist” as opposed to just watching.”

“Dear Scott, A short note to tell you how pleased we were with your entertainment at our party in January. You significantly enhanced the evening with all of our friends. You ensured that everyone participated. You worked the room well and gave quality time to everyone. Our guests were amazed at your talents and even now wonder how you accomplished your illusions. Thanks again. It was a great evening because of you. We would recommend you to anyone in the future.”
