TESTIMONIALS

"Greg Smith recently trained me on the DISC profile. He is a dynamic and charismatic trainer and facilitator. Greg is excellent at establishing clear directions and explaining why we're doing what we're doing. He communicated the information in a clear and easymanner for me to learn and comprehend the material. He was also very patient and flexible with his time. Greg has a very warm and gracious spirit and is exceptionally helpful. Immediately following Greg’s training I felt fully prepared and ready to tackle my first DISC facilitation assignment. I strongly recommend Greg to anyone who needs a trainer/motivator with a positive attitude and wonderful teaching style."

"Faced for the first time with a need to begin Management level learning for 50 managers, Nicholas & Company needed an easy-to-deploy, consistent and meaningful assessment. I chose Greg Smith's TTI survey because of its amazing accuracy, but more importantly, Greg's strong knowledge on how to understand this tool. With his piercing insight, and amazing ability to coach on the results, I found we had discovered a gold mine so rich that I have designed a year’s worth of management training, customized to each manager, based on the information contained in each person's assessment. If you are the captain of your ship, Greg is the trusted navigator who will get you where you wish to go."
