Scott Burrows shows how innovation and cutting-edge leadership strategies can make a difference in gaining results and overcoming challenges.

He knows about challenges. Scott was a star athlete and competitor, excelling in golf and track, at age 19. He was a college wide receiver at Florida State University and a top-rated kickboxing black belt champion with a fight broadcast on ESPN. Then, he was in an automobile accident. He wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and was left paralyzed from the chest down.

A quadriplegic, Scott realized what that split-second decision of not buckling his seat belt meant. He went on to create a new corporate life and became successful. Then, he was in a second automobile accident. He was buckled in, but new injuries forced him to reinvent himself. He decided to pursue a speaking career where he thought he could best serve others.

His presentations are full of what’s possible, goal setting, and being flexible when things change like market conditions, company mergers, and leadership changes. He believes there aren’t barriers, just detours and workarounds.

Inspiring Companies to Stand Up to Diversity & Inclusion
In today’s rapidly changing Corporate Environment, C-level executives are realizing that Disability Matters. Why? Today, the largest and fastest growing minority group around the world are people with disabilities, and studies have shown this workforce is committed, productive, loyal and willing, when given the opportunity, to work hard to help your organization succeed. So, if you are looking to expand your market share, generate new revenue from this untapped market and see things from a different corporate perspective, it will take a clear Vision, the right Mindset and a lot of Grit to make it happen.
 
In today’s world, the true measure of success is how well you respond to a changing and diverse marketplace, adversity, setbacks and fear. Whatever belief system you employ must be powerful enough to conquer these obstacles and any other impediments to your personal and professional growth, or you—and your organization—will be left behind. 
 
As audiences worldwide have discovered, Scott Burrows’ compelling story is the hero’s journey, providing what will be an unforgettable and lasting memory to inspire your audience to stand up to diversity and inclusion. Using his physical paralysis as a visual metaphor, Scott reveals how to drive results using the same mental focus that helped him reinvent his life after a catastrophic accident left him paralyzed from the chest down.
 
Through the power of storytelling, Scott will show your organization how to apply the same timeless principles of Vision-Mindset-Grit that have had a profound impact in his life. Three simple yet powerful words that, when put into action, can absolutely help you tap into a diverse workforce, setting the stage for developing cutting-edge ideas and leadership strategies that will benefit your entire workplace.
 
In 2016, as a corporate diversity speaker, Scott was invited to speak at Springboard Consulting’s Disability Matters North American Annual Conference in front of 250 C-level executives from Fortune 1000 companies. It was there that he learned that these Corporations held their own Annual Diversity Conferences. Since that time, Scott has been invited to speak to many of them, as his story is a great fit to drive home the importance of embracing diversity in the workplace.
 
After Scott’s life-changing accident, he returned to college and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance. At that time, Northwestern Mutual Life gave him an opportunity to partner as a Financial Advisor. Scott quickly hired an assistant and in his 5th year went on to qualify for the Million Dollar Round Table. The MDRT is a 100% commission-driven award that less than 8% of his peers qualify for annually, peers representing 500 companies in 70 countries.
 
At the MDRT’s annual conference in Dallas, Texas, in 1994, Scott learned a lot from the Platform Corporate Speakers who spoke on Diversity, Leadership, Team Building, Customer Service and Branding as well as from the Inspirational Overcoming Adversity Speakers who encouraged you to push the limits of what is possible. He was so moved that he saw himself doing that for the rest of his life. Ironically, at this time, Scott was involved in a second life-changing automobile accident when a 72-year-old man ran a stop sign, caught Scott off guard, and their cars collided. The driver of the other car was not injured, but Scott was. These new injuries forced him out of work for 9 months.
 
Ultimately, in the 9th month, Scott made a tough decision to create a new Vision for his future: to leave an industry he had so much passion for to pursue two new careers: a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to partner with his brother, who needed his help to expand his multimillion-dollar, custom-blended fertilizer and chemical golf course business into Southeast Asia; and Motivational Keynote Speaking as a diversity and inclusion speaker. Both careers have taken Scott all around the world many times over.
 
He attributes his business success to working with so many diverse individuals. These are individuals from around the world who have helped Scott and themselves create unforeseen opportunities that have expanded the possibilities to hit new benchmarks.
 
You will find, like others, that this is the perfect Inspirational Keynote Presentation to challenge your audience to Embrace Diversity and Inclusion, Be Resilient, Adaptable and Set Goals That Stretch the Mind. As a diversity and inclusion inspirational speaker, Scott’s message of Vision-Mindset-Grit will literally transform the way you look at industry challenges, your competition, business and life goals.

Inspiring Companies to Stand Up to Workplace Safety
Scott Burrows was a star athlete and fierce competitor. By the age of 19, he played college football at Florida State University and was a top-ranked kick-boxing champion whose last fight was broadcast on ESPN. However, on November 3, 1984, he made a split-second decision that led to a tragic accident, changing his life forever. Bypassing his usual safety precautions, Scott decided to forgo wearing his seatbelt as a passenger in his friend’s car as they drove just one mile down the road to look for firewood for their bonfire.
 
That night, his friend accidentally lost control of the wheel, ran off the road and crashed into a mound of sand that sent the car hurtling through the air before tumbling back to earth, end over end, causing severe physical injuries. Scott broke Cervical 6 and 7 vertebrae in his neck and suffered a life-threatening spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the chest down and diagnosed a quadriplegic.
 
Nothing delivers the importance of safety better than a personal story from a Corporate Safety Speaker! Today, as a Motivational Safety Speaker, Scott’s unforgettable, life-changing story of turning a paralyzing setback, due to a poor decision, into a powerful comeback impacts audiences at every level. But it’s also a cautionary tale of what can happen when safety protocols are overlooked. Told while using his own physical paralysis as a visual metaphor and blending eloquent storytelling with humor and crowd interaction, Scott leaves audiences captivated, inspired and ready to take action. His VISION, MINDSET AND GRIT SAFETY PRESENTATION can help men and women in any industry keep safe by encouraging better day-to-day decisions in the workplace. His presentation will change the way your employees view and approach safety, and they will walk away embracing workplace safety as opposed to resisting or ignoring it. Growing up, Scott learned firsthand about safety procedures working for his dad, the golf course superintendent at Turtle Creek Country Club. There, Scott operated heavy equipment, including fairway mowers, and handled hazardous chemicals and fertilizers. It was the ideal place to learn about and keep up with safety measures not just at work, but in everyday life. Unfortunately, Scott still made a poor decision one day not to wear his seatbelt, and his life changed forever. He has since become an advocate for workplace safety as a corporate safety conference inspirational speaker.
