Celebrate & Make People Feel Special, Says Scott Friedman

Scott Friedman is a motivational humorist who inspires and entertains with fun-filled, interactive and content-rich programs. Watch him on the Leaderonomics Show video below:



The CCO (Chief Celebration Officer) at Friedman & Associates, he is also a former President of the National Speakers Association (NSA), and an internationally sought after speaker and author, having written “Celebrate – Lessons Learned from the World’s Most Admired Organizations,” “Happily Ever Laughter – How to Engage Any Audience,” and “Using Humor For A Change.”


Seven key takeaways from Friedman on how to celebrate in our workplaces and ‘sell-le-brate’ with customers include:

  • To celebrate means to acknowledge all that is good, which results in you changing the way you look at things, your language and your life.
  • Customers want to be honoured and celebrated. Go the extra mile to create the ‘wow’ experience.
  • Celebrate your employees. Happy employees make better employees, resulting in better engagement and productivity at work.
  • Make people feel special.
  • Relate to people through stories and humour. After all, the shortest distance between two people is a good laugh.
  • Humility and self-effacing humour are vital for leaders to have.
  • If you look for the best in people, you will find the best.

How Much Waste Does Your Business Produce?

Running a business in the car industry is quite challenging, and it often feels like you cannot make significant changes without impacting the ROI negatively. Daily, you have countless things to track, and while it’s essential, you might ignore the amount of trash your business produces. But waste management should be at the top of your priority list because it directly impacts your return on investment. The last thing you want is for the trash cans to overflow; it would negatively impact your employees' performance and comfort, as well as your finances. Efficient waste disposal is a vital component of maintaining a professional, clean, organised, and productive workspace. The key to effectively managing your waste is to measure the volume of trash you produce accurately. This will also help you prevent overage fees. Acquire the right size of ballers and bins, and minimise the number of trips to the landfill.
