Communication Catalyst
Some say Greg was born with the gift of storytelling. He can certainly fill your time in an enlightening and entertaining way. Greg's talks include "Gregisms" and truisms he learned from his grandfather – and from 20 years of experience in business, law and athletics.
Greg spent much of his early life in rural Texas, collecting gems of wisdom his grandfather tossed to him daily. He used them well and earned bachelors and law degrees at the University of Oregon. While there, Greg competed in college basketball and was consistently named Inspirational Player of the Year.
After college, Greg worked as a lawyer for a number of years and learned how to thrive within a large organization. Upon reevaluating his life, he began looking for something that would inspire him and help others. He found it by helping launch the Coaches vs. Cancer campaign for the National Association of Basketball Coaches. This ongoing program has raised millions of dollars for cancer research.
Today, Greg puts to use the knowledge and skills he has developed throughout his career. His Water The Bamboo™ keynotes and seminars provide inspiration and practical skills for individuals and organizations who want to achieve phenomenal success. If you want to improve relationships and motivate people, in business and in life, talk to Greg. He'll listen and take it from there. He created a patented model for teaching effective communication and relationship skills.
