Indianapolis, IN: October 13, 2008 – Confluence Networking, LLC, is proud to announce Scott Abbott - businessman, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist - as its Keynote Speaker for its upcoming October 14 networking event which starts at 3PM and will be held at the Knights of Columbus on 71st and Keystone. Confluence is an Indianapolis-based, organization that brings together hundreds of talented business professionals for networking, exposure, education, relationships, and fun.

SCOTT ABBOTT is an authentic servant leader. He’s started companies, purchased companies, and worked with thousands of people, and hundreds of small, midsize and large organizations, including IBM, Microsoft, GE, Avnet, Intel, Apple, P&G, McDonalds, Lilly, and Harley Davidson.

Scott is a student, and teacher, of business, and life. However, he thinks of himself foremost as a son, husband, father, friend, and humanist. It was in this spirit of compassion and commitment - coupled with what he calls his “heartfelt civic duty” - that he wrote his life-skills book Pocket PorchLights: Reflections, Insights and Recommendations for Helping Young Adults Succeed in Business and Life (while benefiting “older” adults as well). Pocket PorchLights is an award-winning, best-seller that will inspire adults of all ages, to THRIVE at work, and life. That’s what it’s all about.

By leveraging the tenets and "purpose” of his book - along with uplifting music and impactful videos - Scott’s captivating conversation will educate, challenge and inspire. Scott will talk about: good business, entrepreneurship, balance, compassion, leadership, spirituality, values, learning, and the importance of good perspective, attitude, aptitude, and mindfulness. Scott’s “edu-taining” discussion will make you think, laugh and appreciate life.

If you’re interested in learning how you can THRIVE, and live a happier, more successful life at work and home, than this is a book and speech you won’t want to miss. “We’re thrilled to have Scott talk with our group,” said Brett Healey, Founder of Confluence. “Scott’s message about the importance of good business, leadership, values, family and living compassionate, balanced lives is very important, especially given all of the dynamics in the world today. I also hear he’s going to ask us to help write his next book, so that’s sounds pretty cool too.”
