motivational business speakerIt’s important that you get a motivational business speaker who knows a bit about your industry. It’s also beneficial if they have some level of organizational and business background, and that they have actually achieved success in his or her field. You want substance and solid ideas that can help you get your company moving. You also have to have someone with charisma who is able to engage the participants. A good example of this would be Gregory P. Smith of Chart Your Course International.  His company is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Greg served on the Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award. This award is presented by the President of the United States each year 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 Stars” in Human Resource Management.

Smith is able to spread his wealth of knowledge throughout the world as a motivational business speaker and the author of numerous leadership books, audios, videos, and leadership development and management training programs.

Greg Smith takes readers through the triumphs, heartbreaks, humor, and hard lessons of a remarkable life. Funny, moving, and filled with lessons worth remembering, Fish on Fridays is a story you’ll enjoy reading—and find yourself thinking about long after you turn the final page.”

His honest, creative writing draws you in and keeps you turning the pages, eager to see what comes next. I found Fish on Fridays to be both inspiring and entertaining, and I look forward to reading more. Well done, Greg, and congratulations on your new book!”

–Steve Mallin

“Fish on Fridays will make you laugh, move you to tears, and leave you inspired. Greg P. Smith shares his remarkable journey with honesty and humility, offering a candid look at military life, family, faith, and resilience.

What stands out most is his unwavering commitment to service and the strength he drew from his values, even through life’s greatest challenges. Mostly, it’s important to understand the camaraderie he found despite all the obstacles and how he relied on his faith and values to get through it all. This is more than a memoir—it’s a powerful story of perseverance, camaraderie, and hope.”

Maria Lewytzkyj-Milligan

“Fish on Fridays is the kind of memoir that stays with you long after the final page. Greg P. Smith shares an honest and inspiring journey from a shy, introverted boy to a man who served his country for more than twenty years, survived cancer, overcame serious mobility challenges, and found strength through faith, family, and perseverance.

What makes this memoir memorable isn’t just the obstacles Smith faced, but the humility, warmth, and honesty with which he tells his story. Fish on Fridays is a moving reminder that our greatest challenges can become our greatest teachers.”

Roberta Morris

“I attended one of Greg’s leadership training seminars and it was engaging, insightful, educational and even FUN. Greg is a talented management consultant that knows how to get results!”

Cheryl Earls
Director, Quality Resource Management
Kaiser Permanente

“Greg is a creative genius. He is laser-focused on providing his clients with solutions in talent management, leadership development and customer service. He gets the job done and will produce the results you need.”

Melodi Szymczak
Director
Vital Learning

“Four hours of my time in your seminar has resulted in a 51% improvement of our revenues during the first quarter of the year. We should reach $450-500 million easily. Our teams work smart as well as hard and each member is having a lot more fun working together. You are the ‘Deal of the Century.’”

– Dave Dibble, Director of Marketing, Sunshine Companies

“Greg’s insights into determining issues, problems and opportunities inside any company are among the best I have seen. He can literally walk into a company or organization, and just by observing people work and communicate and asking a number of key questions, he can … understand why the company is not advancing the progress on its own and what it needs to do to move forward. If you want problems identified and solutions provided and implemented, Greg is one of the best I have seen. You will go ‘right’ by working with Greg.”

Rolando Marchis, President, Odyssey Transformational Strategies

“Your motivational message was not only insightful and thought provoking, it was also delightfully entertaining…You were super!”

Rebecca J. Froboese

Not only were you entertaining to listen to, but everyone appreciated the fact that they were able to take back many new ideas they can implement immediately.”

Laura Leeds
VP Continuing Care and Workforce
New York State Healthcare Association

“Greg provides a comprehensive road map for not only attracting and keeping talented employees, but for motivating them to achieve a higher level of performance.”

David Shadovitz
