What Others are Saying

Read what meeting organizers and attendees have to say about Gregg Gregory's dynamic, inspirational, informative and meticulously prepared keynotes, seminars and workshops.

           "Thank you for coming to Clipper and speaking with us about managers and leaders..." "I really gained so much as a possible manager and as an employee.  I have such a high respect for my manager, but after yesterday's seminar, it has increased greatly and shown me a whole new side of things.  I have to say that I wasn't looking forward to be sitting through a meeting all day, however, I was ready to sit in on another one today :)

 

            I also have to tell you that besides working at Clipper, I also teach dance and I had 4 classes last night with students ranging from ages 6 - 13 and I was so pumped last night.  I caught myself doing and saying things that you had talked about earlier in the day.  So, I'm hoping to use the thought that Behavior Rewarded is Behavior Repeated with my students as well.  That is definatly a HUGE leadership role and your seminar will carry into the studio with me as well.  Thank you again and I look forward to future seminars.

          "I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation for the valuable tools you provided us these past 2 days. The skills learned will surely be beneficial to our team, and hopefully become infectious to surrounding groups...." "the organization as a whole will run more smoothly and people will be happier... you are affecting change, one step at a time. As you know, change is never easy. But the first step is awareness, and you are doing a bang-up job! Thanks for everything!

"It's been a pleasure to work with you over the years. I know that when you are on our campus, you will deliver a powerful, professional and informational program, The comments that come from our attendees have included some of the following:

• Great yet simple tips on handling e-mail
• Prioritizing was never so simple
• Gregg's energy level for an all-day program was amazing
• He made us laugh and learn at the same time
• I have a much better understanding of co-workers now, thanks to what he showed us about my personality."

Pat O'Connor, National Institute of Standards and Technology

"The presentations you have delivered have been met with outstanding reviews. Your many ideas on creative leadership not only got our team focused, it also recharged the batteries of everyone."

Larry Garrison, Acxiom Corporation

"The message about what we can change — our own outlook and attitude — could not have been more timely and appropriate. Keep up the great work; you are helping organizations through times of difficult change."

Rick Jacques, Elder Independence of Maine

"These programs were just what our company needed. I am looking forward to working with you again as our team grows and our needs change."

Paula Reuther, CRIIMI MAE Inc.

"Let me add my praise for the real-world approach you brought to the material, and for the professional job you did in advance of the workshop to tailor it it to our needs. We will definitely contact you again for future workshops."

Peggy Dickerson, Allstate

"Gregg's high energy level and vibrant personality made our class enjoyable and fun to learn. He put his students at ease and made us feel comfortable about learning. Gregg showed us many different ways to save time, organize our time and space, and how to effectively manage our e-mail. Gregg explained how all of these methods could be applied to your professional and personal life.

Gregg made a huge difference in our lives that day and for many days to come."

Maria A. Ryan, ADP

"Understanding the power of how the personality works with team members as well as clients was a powerful key to understanding the teaming process. Many of our attendees have given us feedback surrounding your enormous energy level. The recharging of everyone's battery was an added bonus. We at New York Life look forward to working with you in the future."

Roy A. Haberman, New York Life Insurance Company

"In response to a question about what they liked best about the seminars, participants wrote quite a few comments about how they felt comfortable in your presence to ask relevant questions and to state their concerns about their work environment, and to receive a valuable and helpful answer."

Nicole Stasiak, Automotive Products (USA) Inc.

"When you are involved, I know the day is in great hands. Your ability to use the combination of information, humor and motivation through the day is a powerful gift. I especially enjoy your talent to utilize what some consider useless information and turn it into valuable information and a learning point.

It takes a certain person to deliver the number and variety of presentations you deliver for us, and I want to thank you for your efforts and support of everyone on our team. I am looking forward to working with you for years to come."

Deia Starr Rank, Rockhurst University Continuing Education Center, Inc.

"Gregg Gregory is a speaker and presenter of great skill. Gregg is more than just a "people person", he cares about whom he will be working with, why he will be working with them, and what short- and long-term goals they expect to meet as a result of Gregg's training.

Gregg approaches his workshops with professionalism and yet maintains a personal connection with both the organizer and the participants. His efforts prior to a workshop are clear when the participation rate of those in the room reaches 100% and stays there no matter how long the session.

Gregg's particular skill in making a workshop relevant not only to the professional goals of the participants and organization, but also drawing on the personal experiences of the group to help gain and maintain momentum throughout the day.

I give Gregg Gregory my highest recommendation in professionalism, knowledge, personality, customization and presentation."

Polly C. Tobin, Chesapeake Research Consortium, Inc.

"The management staff really appreciates all of your efforts and hard work in making these workshops so successful. The creative and enthusiastic manner in which you conducted the sessions generated a lot of interest and participation. In addition, your knowledge of the subject matter and the sharing of your personal experiences made each workshop a unique and valuable educational experience."

Mishyelle Croom, National Institutes of Health

"Gregg is a triple threat on the platform.

He's thoroughly researched his topic and continues to stay current.

He knows what is hot and current as well as the classics.

He is a practitioner.

He's not only been a leader, but he's been a successful leader in hard times as well as times of plenty.

His training is filled with "ah-has". And he gets to these insights, not from lecture, but from creating opportunities for learners to make discoveries. Participants are active and engaged.

His pacing is exceptional — from high-energy games to poignant illustrations, he holds and molds his audience. This is what one of his participants said about him:

• This was by far one of the most dynamic sessions I've ever attended. Not only did Gregg provide us insight to the keys of Teaming, he proved it through real exercises that demonstrated how much more quickly we achieved results when we worked together cohesively. I walked away with a tangible philosophy on how to keep team members excited and successful in meeting our goals."

Susan Burch, Acxiom Corporation

"I would like to thank you for your dynamic, inspiring and educational lectures that you have given us over the past few months. We were very pleased with the various lectures, especially the customer service and team building classes, which have significantly benefited both our internal and external customers."

Ryan Haloute, Chefette Restaurants Limited

"Thank you immensely for the dynamic and powerful program you delivered a couple of weeks ago to our staff. I knew when I met you last year that you would make for a great fit, and you did. Everyone appreciated the way in which you brought to life the variance in styles each of us has, and how we can use our own unique style to interact more effectively with others."

Diane M. Roney, International Education Research Foundation, Inc.

"It's been a couple of months and our employees are still commenting on the ideas they learned from your two very different workshops. The strategies and systems you provided were jam-packed, and the manner in which you customized everything fit our needs perfectly.

Your pre-program research makes it seem as if you have been part of our industry for a long time. Your ability to interact with the groups made them feel comfortable, and your presentation style simply empowered everyone.

These programs were just what our company needed. I am looking forward to working with you again as our team grows and our needs change."

Paula Reuther, CRIIMI MAE Inc.

"What an outstanding presentation regarding successful customer service you delivered! I cannot begin to tell you how much we enjoyed your presentations. We had such a diverse group and you really kept everyone involved — even the "hard-to-please" staff. You really jump-started staff to excel every day with their new or refreshed knowledge.

Your motivational strategies were real-life examples that all levels could relate to and easily begin implementing into their everyday life. The special tips about cutting down on time-wasters (e-mail, phone calls, walk-ins, etc.) were useful ones that could be incorporated relatively easily into our jobs.

Without a doubt, I have seen improvement in the way we communicate with others. I am looking forward to working with you again in the future, and thanks again for a super job."

Catherine A. Stephens, FDIC

"I thought your presentation was one of the best I have ever seen. You did a superb job of bringing the theory to the practical, through examples and scenarios that everyone could relate with.

You gave us a system for hiring, evaluating performance and addressing problems that is concise and easy to follow. I believe this should be part of training for any professional looking to hire staff. On a scale of 1-10, you were a 12."

Steven C. Lover, New York Life Insurance — Independent Agent

"I wanted to thank you for the incredible training session you conducted for our in-house sales team! I received such positive feedback from everyone in the department, and the entire team immediately implemented some of the strategies you suggested.

I do not have to tell you how pleased I was to discover that they had done so on their own, even before I had time to make any suggestions.

Gregg, you provided us with so much helpful information and the program fit our needs so perfectly that it would be impossible for me to tell you all the ways our department, and especially our customers, benefited.

As you can see, I could go on forever but, in a nutshell, everyone has stated to me that this was the BEST seminar they have ever been to."

Jeanne Heath, Choice Hotels International

"Gregg was chosen over hundreds of other experts to design and present our sales skills seminar. He was highly regarded by our clients, who found his interest in meeting their needs exemplary. He responded quickly to their needs and was able to identify and meet their "needs-beneath-the needs" — a skill that makes a major difference to clients and goes a long way toward ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction. He continually went the extra mile for our clients, as well as our sales staff."

Eileen McCullough, Dun and Bradstreet

"Your contribution helped make a successful conference and exemplified our conference theme: "Building Excellence"."

Stephen Cross, FDIC

"Yesterday I was visiting one of our restauraunts unannounced and noticed one of our assistant managers using a method that Gregg had talked about at his last seminar. I would call this success."

Leon Irons, Church's Chicken

"I thoroughly enjoyed your seminar in Manhattan. You were entertaining and informative! Your enthusiasm and optimism were infectious! (...so much so that I passed it on to some of the grumpy commuters on the subway on the way home!) I have been in contact with two other seminar participants. Your notion of peer coaching is great!"

Christina Nader, KIBI, Systems

"Morale is high because we have learned something new and are practicing it now."

Crystal Long, Mail America Communications, Inc.

"I was not the only person attending the seminar who felt Gregg did such a fantastic job. Several of us got together afterward and we all agreed that, because of him, this was the best seminar we had ever been to."

Jennifer L. Forester, Nine One One, Inc.
