Greg will bring stories about bringing people to work together, certification journeys, saying Yes to Yourself, assembling the F/A-18E/F Low Rate Initial Production Specification one engineer at a time, which can be used throughout your career journey. Greg’s solution is about Breaking “No’s” into Smaller “Yes’s” with three self-applied concepts: Turning No’s into smaller easy Yes’s, Saying Yes to Our Own Growth, and Transforming Our Own Mindset with small Yes’s to achieve bigger goals. Turning No’s into small Yes’s will open doors for years to come.

Shortly after leaving his cushy government job and starting his business in 1999, 9/11/2001 occurred and changed everything. Fear around the world destroyed his growing business. Almost bankrupt, on the verge of losing his house and walking through movie theater parking lots to find cash for lunch, Greg survived with “Yes’s”.
