"I enjoyed my time working with Greg. As a Leadership Coach, the first thing that comes to mind is that he has the experience to back up his insights. Greg is humble, but no doubt he’s had a successful career in business. I wanted to work with someone that understood the demands of the current business climate, the workload, the challenges, and the opportunities. Greg answered the call on every level when it came to his experience, so I trusted what he was offering from the first session."

John Ramirez, Director of Maintenance & Capital
"Greg is very good at listening and offering solutions on how to address various situations in work and in life without sugar coating, and he really made me think a lot about all the subjects we discussed. It has been a pleasure working with him over the past few years and listening to him during leadership meetings and coaching sessions, and I have always appreciated his straightforward approach."
City of Sioux Falls
Breanna White, Community Housing Coordinator
"My biggest takeaway to sum it is – Intention!
Intention in preparation, intention in behavior, intention in conversation, etc. Sometimes we get so caught up in ‘going through the motions or checking the boxes’ that we don’t stop to think about the WHYs; taking the time to put ourselves under a microscope and magnify all the pieces of us that we so often write off as “just the way we are” is vulnerability at its finest but there’s beauty in the vulnerability and growth in the discomfort."
Minnehaha County Human Services
Lori Montis, Assistant Director
"I think an important piece for me personally in my work with others – leadership, colleagues, direct reports, etc. – as part of listening and communicating is to end the conversation/discussion with an agreement and a restatement of the action plan for each person to help move issues forward.The shift of language is such an important one and one I encounter challenges with myself and when addressing challenges with this with other people."
