Meet Gregg
“Gregg has been a game changer for our organization. His ability to connect with any audience and at all levels combined with his knowledge of our business and culture are a force multiplier. We seek him out any chance we get.”
—Hilary Quosai, VP Client & Participant Services, John Hancock
“Everyone is a leader regardless of their job title and EVERYONE has the ability to shift people’s mindset during change.” —Gregg Brown
Award-winning international speaker and bestselling author Gregg Brown travels extensively helping organizations create opportunities to drive positive change that bring results.
Gregg has been helping audiences ‘connect the dots’ and create lasting change since he was 10.
Gregg’s passion for mentoring, teaching, and facilitating was ignited when he tutored a group of friends in front of a chalkboard mounted on his bedroom wall. Seeing the ‘aha moments’ happen with his friends made him realize he loved teaching.
During his teenage years, he taught everything from crafts to canoeing every year at summer camp, where he started to develop strong motivational skills that would help fine tune his approach to leadership. He saw how building on people’s past experience could lead to creating positive change.
As part of the team that opened the first wave of Starbucks stores in Canada, Gregg discovered his passion for leading people through a change experience in the workplace.
With a strong interest in what drives individuals to change, Gregg dove into one of the most challenging—and rewarding groups of people to work with—inmates in federal penitentiaries.
The thread that tied this diverse experience all together was the ability to engage people, bring them through a process, learn something new and meaningful and ultimately experience change transformation in their world.
Now, as a seasoned speaker, facilitator and consultant, he continues to work with numerous Fortune 500 companies, as well as the public and not-for-profit sectors. Gregg inspires audiences to break out of status quo change management thinking, and discover people-centric approaches that actually work.
