Scott Friedman, CSP, is a humorous speaker with a valuable message. Scott teaches audiences to open their minds through laughter, while sharing "how-to" techniques and practical ideas. He illustrates an approach to becoming a victor of change instead of a victim.

Scott is two-time past-president of the Colorado Chapter of the National Speakers Association and has earned the CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) designation by the National Speakers Association.

Scott entered public speaking as Marketing Director of SpeechMasters, a company that trains lawyers, public speakers, and executives in effective presentation skills. He doubled their business by carving out new market niches while, at the same time, receiving acclaimed speech training. Scott became a full-time professional speaker in 1986, and shares practical ideas on sales, motivation, humor, and creating results.

Scott has presented nationally to diverse audiences at companies such as U S WEST, Hardee's, Continental Airlines, Uniglobe Travel, IBM, Virginia Power, Meeting Planners International, Current, United Guaranty, New Mexico Health Care Association, First American Title, and Western Newspapers Association.

Scott has discovered a way to instantly connect with almost any audience, regardless of age, creed, or gender. "Humor creates an immediate bond," says Scott. With the precision of a surgeon, Scott uses humor to remove negative, non-productive feelings and instill a positive, fresh approach toward work, relationships, and life.
