Speaking

Sessions people still quote a year later.

I do not do inspiration. I do the uncomfortable, specific, immediately usable version — the one where the room does the work and leaves with language they will actually say out loud on Monday.

Speaker reel · 2026

See him work.

Under two minutes of real sessions — no sizzle edit, no swelling music. This is what the room actually looks like.

Signature sessions

Four talks.

01

The Blame Game

Based on the forthcoming book. How organizations move from patterns of blame to patterns of accountability.

02

Ego States for Leaders

Behavioral psychology, translated. The framework for what actually happens in the room when things get tense.

03

The Four-Second Pause

The single most important discipline in leadership. The gap between reaction and response, and how to build it back.

04

Making Humans Better Humans

Greg’s most personal keynote. Thirty years of coaching leaders, weaved with the daily work of being a better human.

Formats

However long you have.

  • 45–60 minConference keynote. One framework, worked hard, with the room participating rather than watching.
  • Half dayLeadership session. Two frameworks, live practice, and a language set the team keeps using afterwards.
  • Full dayExecutive intensive. Assessment beforehand, debrief in the room, and a plan each leader owns by name.
  • VirtualBuilt for the format, not a keynote pointed at a webcam. Smaller groups, more interaction.
If they are not talking, they are not learning. My job is to make the room do the work.
What people say

Twenty years
later.

The measure of this work is not the room on the day. It is whether anything is different a year on.

I went in a skeptic in 2011. Fifteen years later, my business has scaled and Greg is directly responsible for both my personal and professional growth. If you want your audience to walk out changed, Greg is the call you must make.
Neil S.President & CEO, The Shepherd Group
We really enjoyed Greg’s session and the team got so much out of it. The buzz continued for the full two days of the conference.
Alana R.VP People and Culture
Greg’s energy, ideas, and outside-the-box thinking are inspirational. It is INFECTIOUS. I use what he shared in my personal life as much as at work.
Matthew B.Tool Room Manager, NASG Tech Center
I did that program twenty years ago. It was life changing for me.

Audiences

Where this lands hardest.

CEO peer groups

Membership organizations and forums where the room is all owners and operators. High bar, no patience for filler, best conversations.

Executive teams

Offsites and leadership retreats where the real agenda is how this group behaves with each other under pressure.

Industry conferences

Main-stage keynotes for associations and sector events that want a behavioral session with teeth rather than another trends deck.

Booking

Tell me about the room.

Who is in it, what they are wrestling with, and what you need them to do differently afterwards. I will tell you straight whether I am the right person for it.
