Greg Bennick Featured Build a Better Now® - TEAM BUILDING keynote speaker, emcee, host
Greg Bennick is a team building keynote speaker who brings teams together and offers strategies for juggling a world of distractions to enhance individual performance and drive organizational success.
He knows about focus, though reading about his life, you wouldn’t know that. He is a best-selling author (Reclaim the Moment: 7 Strategies to Build a Better Now), a keynote thought leader, a noted rare coin expert, a TEDx speaker and speaking coach, a humanitarian philanthropist, and an influencer devoted to transforming the world by inspiring personal and social change. How's that for a resumé?
For the last three decades Greg has traveled the world studying what people want most, and looking at what makes solid teams work together most effectively. He's come to know that people need to matter and to feel that they are part of something meaningful.
Here's a little about Greg, and ideas about how he helps organizations like yours find renewed inspiration.
“Greg takes big concepts and makes them fun and totally accessible.” (Jason Silva, National Geographic’s Brain Games)
Employees are overworked, anxious, and stressed out. How does your team maintain and prioritize focus, and what impact could being reinvigorated about your organizations mission and goals have on your productivity?
When Greg traces back his own focus and teamwork journey, he realizes that learning to juggle for the first time at twelve years old changed everything for him. It was awesome. It was amazing. And it was a metaphor.
He saw that a juggler's ability to FOCUS and keep multiple balls aloft, amidst a world of distractions, was key to navigating our day-to-day reality. Greg realized that he gained confidence and learned more with the support of those around him. Those realizations transformed his life, and reminded him that without teamwork, individuals end up adrift and lost. He immediately started connecting with people all over the world.
“We’ve worked with many speakers and entertainers, but never before has someone taken the time and energy you did to get to know our niche industry. I’ve been fielding texts from members all evening. It was exactly what our audience needed.” (Karen Ladany, NAAGL)
Greg started thinking about what gets us back on track. The object in the air is the one that matters most. What is that object for you and your organization? What do you need to focus together upon most? When we have a shared sense of purpose and meaning from what we do, and when we know that our work matters, it is like high octane fuel for teamwork.
He transforms audiences, sharing ideas about focus learned and earned over decades of interaction and engagement with people from all around the world. His core keynote presentation - Build a Better Now® - is fun, insightful, and inspiring. It is available worldwide.
"A highlight of the day was the electrifying keynote presentation by Greg Bennick on 'Build a Better Now.' It was a call to action for all of us to make tangible changes in our communities and professions." (Byron Webster, ICE Imagine Conference)
Greg launched his career as a presenter at age thirteen (yes you read that correctly) and saw that capturing the attention of audiences brings people together. He has been known to balance a chair on his face to do just that. Just watch his promo video for proof!
As a keynote speaker, Greg explores new ideas that help you find solutions for the problems you face around team building. He integrates award-winning comedy, audience interaction, incredible juggling, powerful magic effects, and unbelievable mind reading into his presentations to create a visual display that helps the ideas really sink in.
Greg works with you through preplanning meetings before your event to solidify and customize his messaging to your event goals.
A two-time humorous speaking champion, Greg engages and inspires your audience while making them laugh. He has spent over thirty years on stage and has connected with audiences live in over twenty-five countries, and of course, is also available to do the same through virtual presentations from his multi-camera professional studio in Seattle.
“A fantastic presentation…the agents loved all your takeaways!” (Windermere Real Estate, 50th Anniversary Conference, Seattle WA)
The founder and Executive Director of the international non-profit One Hundred For Haiti, Greg's humanitarian work and philanthropy have led to clean water is available to thousands of people in rural Haiti and the building of countless roofs for families in need, educational opportunities for impoverished youth, and massive food program success from working directly with rural farmers.
More about Greg, beyond the keynotes…
If you’re having Greg Bennick as your keynote speaker, have him do a breakout to reinforce the ideas in his onstage presentations. When he leads groups in instruction on how to juggle, teams come together to overcome challenges. People shift from “I can’t do it” to “I DID IT!!!” and more importantly to WE did it. And they have fun while doing it.
Additionally, if you're having a major event, consider inviting Greg as a dynamic master of ceremonies (emcee) and host to your event. He brings his ideas on teamwork to the stage and can guide your event with impact.
“Your stage presence is unparalleled. We couldn’t have done it without you!” (Adrianne Selvidge, Producer, BHC, on behalf of the United States Department of Health and Human Services)
