Greg
Smith's educational achievements began on the doorstep of his
Kindergarten class where he socked his teacher in the stomach. He then
failed first grade -- it was downhill from there. However, since that
rocky beginning, he has made a complete turn-around.
Today, Greg Smith is the President and "Lead Navigator" of a management
consulting company, Chart Your Course International Inc., located in
Atlanta, GA. His 30 years of leadership and consulting experience have
helped propel him as one of the nation's leading authorities on employee
retention, customer service and leadership. He
has traveled to and spoken in over 23 countries and developed training programs for some of
the "Top 100 Best Places to Work."
Greg shows executives and business owners how to become better leaders and
transform their organizations into great places to work. He focuses on
helping businesses hire the right people, retain them as long as
possible, and accelerate their performance so they are as productive as
possible. He has guided hundreds of
organizations with measurable improvements in reduced employee turnover,
increased sales, and better customer service.

revenues. You are the deal of the century.”
Greg's family descended from our first President. Similar to George
Washington, he built his career on the front line
as a
U.S. Army Officer. During his tenure in the Army,
he went from 2nd Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel. His career culminated
as a management consultant to the U.S. Army Surgeon General. As the Director of
Quality Management and Strategic Planning for the U.S. Army Medical
Department, he played a major role in “Reinventing the Government” efforts
spearheaded by the Vice President of the United States.
Greg served on the Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award. This award is presented each year by the President of the United
States and is the nation's highest honor for business
excellence. Greg has received many awards and honors including being
listed in Harvard University's Profiles in Business and Management: An
International Directory of Scholars and Their Research. The Human Resource
Executive Magazine selected him as one of the nation’s Top-Ten "Rising

Merit from the U.S. Army and The Order of Military Medical Merit. He
is listed in the Who's Who of Professional Speaking, and holds both a
B.S. and M.S. degree in Human Resource Management.
Greg says of all the awards he has received, the most meaningful award is
his
Eagle Scout Award.
