Greg’s knowledge in the fields of human development, change and leadership is underscored by a bachelor degree in Human Resource Development (UNE) an MBA from the University of Queensland, Australia, and a Company Directors’ Diploma from the Australian Institute of Company Directors.  As a committed student of Emotional Intelligence since 1996, Greg is a certified EQ trainer and is accredited to administer and interpret a range of EQ assessment tools.  He is a passionate speaker on Emotional Intelligence, and is highly sought after for his thought provoking, research-rich delivery.  Greg’s presentations are fun and focus on helping the audience understand the simple but powerful application EI, providing them with concrete tools that they can use immediately, as well as motivating and inspiring people to be at their best, and to live a more wholly rewarding life.

Synopsis of Presentation:
The topic of Emotional Intelligence is gaining great interest in a number of fields, particularly business.  It has been recognized in the academic arena for about 20 years, and in business for 10 years since the release in 1995 of Daniel Goleman’s book: “Emotional Intelligence – Why it Can Matter More Than IQ.”  Heavily grounded in scientific research, EI (or EQ) provides us with a brand new understanding of human behaviour, and helps us find answers to the most difficult of our personal and business relationships – EI has an application to every area of our lives: work, social, family, and also in the way we perform in non-work environments, particularly in sport.  There are now large volumes of research evidence that suggest an urgent need for us to understand and manage our own and others emotions, from fields such as: Psychology, Neuroscience, Mind Body Medicine (Psychoneuroimmunology), Organisational Development, Leadership, and Child Educational Research.
