Greg's clients comment
on how resourceful he is in quickly getting clients to see the
deeper issues, not the obvious ones. For example, when a sales
manager client worried about making his "numbers", and was focusing
on a huge "to do" list which became overwhelming, Greg helped
his client see the future, to manage his time effectively, set
priorities, and to co-create a plan with his team that produced
"buy-in". Clients learn to delegate, motivate and ask for what
they want. Greg's strong intuition mixed with years of practical
experience and a continuous learning environment, create for clients
those never to be forgotten realizations or "ah hahs" about their
capabilities. People like Greg because he can quickly see the
human side of issues, not just the bottom line. Using an "appreciative
inquiry" style, Greg helps clients to accept who they are while
taking action to improve their skills and to be all that they
can be. " Greg's enthusiasm and optimism together with his respectful
caring influenced me to want to take risks, ask for the order
and see myself as a winner helped me to become the regional Vice
President".
