Testimonials

“Greg did an outstanding job as a business speaker at one of our most important clients. In fact, Greg had one of the highest speaker ratings at the conference. Based on these results, I would highly recommend Greg as a keynote speaker.”

Richard Schelp
Owner, Executive Speakers Bureau

“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
