The best presentation of our conference! Gregg kept the audience engaged and energized, while giving them tools to make their business better."
Gregg Lederman is a professional speaker, executive coach, and New York Times best-selling author. Over the past 20 years, Gregg has worked with tens of thousands of business leaders and managers to implement performance-driven leadership, employee engagement, and customer experience solutions.
The results speak for themselves:
Over the past decade, Gregg's clients have witnessed more than 90% employee engagement -- nearly three times the national average.
More than 68% of Gregg's clients have been noted on "best place to work" lists, either in their region, their industry, or on Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" annual ranking.
He is the author of three award-winning books. His latest book, CRAVE: You Can Enhance Employee Motivation in 10 Minutes by Friday has been credited by many executives as "life changing" for those who want to become better leaders.
In addition to being a sought-after, highly engaging keynote speaker and author, Gregg has served for over 18 years as a professor at the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester. He teaches executive MBAs how to become more effective and trusted leaders in his course: Leading Organizational Change.
Gregg lives in Rochester, New York, with his wife, Karyn, and three wonderful daughters.
Eighty-plus years of research has proven that humans CRAVE three things that enable them to become more motivated:
RESPECT: Help me feel respected for the work I do.
PURPOSE: Show me how what I do has purpose, makes a difference, and is relevant to the organization.
RELATIONSHIP: Help me build stronger connections with people, especially my immediate manager/supervisor.
In this highly interactive keynote, the audience is introduced to the power of strategically recognizing employees as a way to reduce stress and fuel the work environment with what employees CRAVE. Using real-life case studies with financial impact and highlighting compelling realities managers can relate to, Gregg ensures that audiences will walk away with valuable leadership techniques and feel inspired to put them into practice.
Gregg says, “We, as humans, love recognition, but we struggle to give enough of it. Whether we want to admit it or not, recognition plays a huge role in our everyday work lives — in our happiness, well-being, and working relationships. Learning to strategically recognize employees is the most effective and efficient way to give people what they CRAVE. Doing so leads to accelerated improvements in employee engagement and in the work culture, which together inspire a more consistent customer experience."
In this learning experience, supervisors, managers, and executives will commit to the 10 Minutes by Friday habit for giving people more of what they CRAVE! In return, they will become better managers and leaders who are able to achieve the business results that matter most to their teams, departments, and companies.
Many managers and leaders are stressed at work like never before. They often believe they have too much to do, too little time, and too many distractions. But not everyone is struggling… some have figured out how to develop great leaders who create great cultures, where employees are happier, more motivated, and more productive.
There are no great cultures without great leaders who create environments for more empowerment, inspiration, and motivation.

This unprecedented level of engagement has landed nearly 70% of his clients on a "best place to work" list.
These successes did not happen by chance. They are a result of organizations investing in the development of their managers and leaders who then help create the desired work cultures.

- Clearly document the type of human and leader they want to be.

This workshop is for those who want to become better humans and better leaders!
When leaders in an organization live A Great Life Now™, they are happier, better communicators who are able to create great cultures.
Warning: Heavy thinking ahead! While Gregg delivers this workshop in his typical humorous, engaging, and enlightening style, all attendees need to be prepared to dive deep into their thoughts and feelings about their lives and ideas for the future. They will learn how their personal values power their “brand,” which, in essence, is their reputation based on the way they think, speak, and act both at home and at work.
Participants can expect to:
- Discover the core values that make up their personal brand of leadership. (“Who the heck are you?”)
- Explore the thoughts and behaviors that bring their values to life (as well as those that don’t).
- Identify F.E.A.R.S. that block success.
- Learn what the best leaders do to balance both a focus on performance and humanity. (“What do the most effective and trusted leaders do?”)
- Identify “hidden time” that dramatically improves performance in life and at work.
- Leave with a well-documented, step-by-step, habit-building approach to implementing lasting mindset and behavior changes.
In this life-enhancing workshop, supervisors, managers, and leaders at all levels learn the recipe for how to Live a Great Life NOW and how to do so one habit at a time. The result… become a better leader (and a better human) all while achieving more happiness and productivity at work and in life.
Think about the companies you love to do business with. What's their secret? These companies have cracked the code for how to create and sustain a GREAT Culture where employees "live the brand" every day. These companies get and keep more profitable customers, and they do so with a workforce that is highly motivated and committed… more ENGAGED! This does not happen by chance; it is by design, and Gregg will show you how.
