Greg provides 1:1 coaching to managers and executives, tailoring his coaching to the needs of the audience.
“Greg is a wealth of knowledge and his techniques and concepts can apply to essentially any industry or business model. I had considered myself a decent strategic thinker and professional going into the engagement. Greg was able to decode my current approaches and business environment and offer a completely different perspective and approach to strategic thinking and growth. Additionally, Greg was able to help me evaluate goals and flush ideas in simple ways before entering into a meeting or interaction. These techniques helped make future interactions with clients and others more effective and leave a lasting impression. I use many of these approaches on a daily basis, whether in a client meeting or my personal life.”
“Most of us have just a handful of people we encounter in life that truly leave their mark on us. I’m referring to those people that set a positive example for us, teach us a valuable skill, or simply open our eyes to a new way of thinking. For me, Greg Githens is one of those people. It’s been years since I met face to face with Greg, but the lessons I learned from him have stuck with me… and helped me to succeed… everywhere I have gone since. For that I will always be grateful.”
“Greg is a top performer and he gets results. His flexible style makes it possible for Greg to work with a variety of different personalities and adjust his coaching technique. I would highly recommend Greg as a coach, consultant and trainer.”
