Business Leader, Best Selling Author & Platform Original
Scott McKain

Scott McKain has proven that the concepts he presents actually work in the real world! He is the Vice Chairman of Obsidian Enterprises, a company he helped found just a few years ago that now generates $100 million in annual revenue. Obsidian has been named as one of the “fastest growing companies” in the United States.

Scott is the co-founder of the Value Added Institute, a “think tank” exploring the role of customer experiences in creating enhanced client loyalty and revenue for visionary organizations. He is the author of two #1 business bestsellers: “ALL Business is Show Business” and his most recent book, “What Customers REALLY Want” which has just been released in paperback.

You may have seen Scott McKain on television. He recently has made several appearances on FOX News Network as an Analyst and Commentator. He has presented his business insight on platforms in all fifty states and fourteen countries...from Singapore to Sweden; from Mexico to Morocco. From over 7,000 nominated, he was recently honored by his home state as one of ten “Hoosier Heroes” -- exemplifying the best in business and commitment to philanthropy.

The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, personally selected him to be the speaker and emcee of the “Great American Workout” held on the White House lawn, telecast live on NBC's “Today” show and attended by President George Bush.

He has been honored with induction into the “Professional Speakers Hall of Fame” -- and is a member of the “Speakers Roundtable,” an elite group of twenty business speakers considered by many to be among the best in the world.

Scott McKain’s calling is business – but his passion is the platform. His unique presentations clearly demonstrate he brings something to the platform that isn’t often found in business speakers: personal experience in building and leading companies and dealing with customers and employees.

Many audiences have grown tired of “book reports” – unoriginal material presented by speakers who have little or no practical expertise. Scott has both innovative theories and conceptual framework – as evidenced by his two bestselling business books – and the “in the trenches” viewpoints on execution that can only be found in someone who has been there. And, Scott’s warm, engaging and revealing personal speaking style ensures that audiences will respond and remember.

Scott McKain is the author of two #1 business bestsellers -- ALL Business is Show Business and What Customers REALLY WANT. His most recent book, COLLAPSE OF DISTINCTION, will be in bookstores February 2009.

Literally thousands of organizations, readers and audience members have improved their profitability and enhanced their business from Scott McKain's concepts.
