Speech Topics
FAIL BETTER: Don't Be Afraid to Drop the Ball!
Greg is fascinated by gravity as a metaphor: by dropping objects he learns constantly to FAIL BETTER. What do we learn about success from our failures? The Seattle Times called him “A juggler of objects and concepts.” What do you learn about success from a path where the journey is filled with mistakes and failure? You learn focus and courage. Greg shows you the way. (Perfect for any group looking to enhance positive mental attitude among their team members and looking to laugh throughout a presentation)
FIND YOUR VOICE: Strengthen Your Community with Creativity
Developing community is about strengthening teams from within. For Greg, touring and exploring the world for thirty years has taught him about CREATIVITY, COMMUNITY, and USING COMEDY to channel energy in positive directions. Your work, personal, and local communities need every voice to thrive. Learn the benefits, and discover powerful new perspectives on teamwork through comedic approaches on self-esteem and connectedness. (Perfect for all organizations who truly value their people and who are interested in energetic new ideas)
ENVISION & EXPAND: Changing the World Without Having a Clue
Want to change the world in which you work and live but aren’t sure how? Want to transform your workplace environment and implement new ideas? From a perspective of taking action for others, this keynote is a call to action. Let's look at the roadblocks which prevent those things from happening and then blast through them. Learn how one line from the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark” inspired a lifetime of creativity and action even amidst self-doubt. Learn about failing better, growing together, and making dreams a reality. (Perfect for any group with a CSR focus, those interested in change and transformation...and also for colleges / universities)
YOU MATTER: Perspectives on Work & Life
Greg explores human motivations. We want to be contributors to significant lives, expressing ourselves in ways that are meaningful. How can we do that, inspire others to do the same, and stay inspired without losing ourselves in fear and self-doubt? Or without conflict arising? We need to cultivate a sense that our work and our lives are meaningful, while not taking that knowledge and using it to infringe on what others find meaningful too. This is the presentation we need in an increasingly chaotic and unpredictable world. (Perfect for teamwork, communication, and personal development events)
