Scott Mautz is CEO/Founder of Profound Performance™, a keynote, workshop, and training company that helps business leaders become even better, more inspired versions of themselves. He’s a former senior executive of Procter & Gamble, where he successfully ran several of the company’s largest multi-billion-dollar businesses. He’s an award-winning, bestselling author, popular course instructor on LinkedIn Learning, and faculty at Indiana University’s School of Business for Executive Education. His latest book is The Mentally Strong Leader: Build the Habits to Productively Regulate Your Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors.

Scott is a speaker and trainer commonly described as “riveting” (despite his daughter’s utter disbelief of that description). His one-of-a-kind blend of business experience, research, storytelling, tools, sprinkles of humor, and hi-octane delivery opens hearts & minds.

He applies his thunderous passion to help others become mentally stronger and achieve more (even in the face of challenges) - at work and in life. He prides himself on his “No-Diva” policy (being easy to work with), on coming across as authentic and as down-to-earth as he really is, and on being the absolute highest-value podcast guest he can be.

He wants to understand your brand too, so he can help reinforce it as a guest on your show. Invite Scott on for an interesting conversation that will intrigue your listeners, not the canned spewing of book selling points.

Derrick Mains as a guest for your podcast. Four time author, Emmy winner, host of The Process Fixer, serial entrepreneur, and CEO, Derrick has consulted on process optimization for hundreds of companies from Walmart to Exxon.

American business culture often rewards stoic, strong man behavior where our emotions are checked at the door but it’s impossible to truly remove our human instincts and limbic responses. Derrick’s approach to process optimization and change management is centered in acknowledging and managing these human instincts. He believes that when we see, value, and empower employees as whole humans, they reflect that value back to the customer.

A born storyteller, Derrick weaves history, psychology, philosophy, and lived experience into powerful conversation on how we can shape the human-centric workplace of the future.
