The Not-So-Brief Version
Scott Lesnick has survived and thrived through gritty, high-stakes personal and professional challenges including a daring mission to reunite with his kidnapped children from the Middle East. That experience (detailed in his book Kidjacked) sparked his transformation from sales executive to a globally sought leadership keynote speaker.
Armed with real wisdom and relentless drive, he helps audiences master resilience, bridge generational divides, and lead under pressure. His TEDx talk and signature keynotes harness storytelling, strategic insight, and raw tenacity into tools you can use immediately on your leadership path.
Scott delivers high-impact sessions with grit and grace. No fluff—just fast-track frameworks anchored in experience. Whether you're aiming to lead through massive change or simply build better teams, Scott gives you the tools and mindset to seek the right path and accomplish whatever you've set your mind to.
In his session, Seeking the Right Strategic Plan, Scott cuts past one-size-fits-all frameworks and teaches you to build growth strategies that actually fit your business and strengths so you don’t just plan; you perform. You’ll walk away with a plan (and action items!) that creates sustainable growth.
Expect powerful stories, actionable takeaways, and a reminder that persistence equals success.
