“I have had the great pleasure of working with Greg and bringing him in to two companies (Amazon & Fitbit) and multiple teams.  The end results have been an increase in engagement, retention and ultimately productivity.  The results in all aspects have been so successful that people who have moved to other teams and/or companies then ask Greg to come work with them.  This is the wisdom you will find in his book, his public speaking, and his coaching and consulting.”
