Greg's Most Requested Programs:

 

CORPORATE PROGRAMS:

 

Manage With Style

There are many different “styles” of management with many different views on the effectiveness of those styles.  Greg takes a humorous look at management “styles” while providing tangible and realistic tools for a productive relationship between managers and those they manage. 

 

Who Needs Customers?

The answer to this question is a humorous look at how some companies seem to try and lose customers.  Greg provides positive and simple tips on how to gain, keep, and satisfy customers. 

 

Measuring Emotional Profit

Companies depend on the financial “bottom line” to continue and expand.  Greg helps define how important the “emotional pulse” of the members of a company or corporation can be to the success of the business.

Learn to Laugh

Teaching in Juvenile Hall

Classroom management problems?  How about an armed guard in the room?  Greg shares the humor and heartache of teaching troubled teens in Juvenile Hall. 

 

Bullyproofing/Conflict Resolution

How do schools identify the problem? What to do when it is identified.  Greg examines the pain and damage of hate and cruelty and provides insight into “helping to heal”. 

 

Dare to Care

Learning goes beyond the standardized test.  Greg addresses the importance of caring about what we teach/learn/share.
